They're both fine... Whichever one you find the best deal on, you'll be happy!
One site is offering a 6month warranty on the Raw so I guess that would be the one to go with....One website said the Grubee gt5 was the rolls royce of industry haha....I dont think I could imagine any chinese kit being a rolls royce....

Bikeberry has a 6 month warranty on the Grubee GT5. I just ordered one and used "3daysale" as a $10 code. There is also a $5 code- search here its something like MBCmember. The site will only let you use one code per order.

Waiting on Fed Ex to drop it off today.....where is that truck......

I did see that Bikeberry does offer a 6 month warranty(they are the site that said the grubee GT5 was the Rolls Royce of the chinese motor kits lol)but do they have free shipping?

Shipping from Bikeberry was like $29.

I'm not going to completely badmouth but I can say that thus far I am not impressed with Bikeberry. I called them on a problem with the engine out of the box and was essentially told I was wrong and it was not defective. It was suggested that I could send it back if I really wanted but that they would probably look at it and tell me it was fine. Needless to say I am not very pleased.

FYI the ad says 415 chain but they include a regular bike chain. They are aware of this and said the kits have changed. It was offered to send mine back and get a replacement if I picked up shipping both ways. I just wanted what I paid for in the first place. If they didn't intend on shipping a 415 chain, change the ad. My engine was made 7/10/09, they should have had time to change the website by now. It doesn't seem that difficult.

I have tried 2 different Grubee's from 2 companies in the last 2 weeks. Not impressed at all. I paid a bit more thinking it was a better build and I would get customer service. Next time I'm either going with Dax for the customer service or ebay for price. It seems like quality on this stuff is a complete crap shoot independent of "brand".

Alright a bit of an addition to my earlier post. Set a PM to Bikeberry via this form. They got back quick. Tone in the PM was much better than the guy I dealt with on the phone.

On the motor choices. I have bought 1 Grubee GT4 Starfire and 1 Grubee GT5 Skyhawk in the past 2 weeks. Both require some tinkering. Its a crap shoot.

Next time I'll order based on lowest price independent of brand name.

This engine also has a thinner sprocket so it should fit. They said the kits were changing. Suspect it's cost savings but what do I know?????
