Fairly easy to tune and break in went simple enough. This is a great buggy engine for a loose track imho. A little too soft for my liking in truggy but didn't get to try a 2013 on it. Not sure what Orion CRF engine this matches though.
Again, apologize for the late feedback..I have since donated the engine to a fellow racer who was in need of another engine...He really loves it in his buggy, coming from a mito7. Said its really smooth and easier to drive.
In my experience the 2058 can feel very dead at low speed, probably the pipe.
