      I dont think you would be dissapointed in a hopped up 16.

      I have a hopped up 18 with long rods, shaved pistons, steel push rods, billet retainers. I do have to run Avgas.. And this thing is awsome.

      I am also running a high speed clutch. My Max IV turns 32mph with no problems at about 5,000 rpm.

      I have about 30 or so hours on my build and it has proven very reliable.

      BTW: The Vampire ASX tires are just about unstoppable too.

        i psoke with recretaive industries recently and they advised a 23 hp Briggs and stratton is a good replacement. Just make that the shaft is the same.
