I bought this a month ago and it's pretty good. My buddy had been begging me to try reds so I did when my fusion x3 capped out on me. This motor has great overall speed but really excels on the top end. It won't idle low for anything though. I flamed out three times before someone told me I had to up my idle about 4 hrs. I think they fixed it with the HCX carb. Overall a really nice motor and great quality from the company.
