Hey Lance what can you tell me about this combo? Theres also an Ascendency combo for the $220. Are these engines worth anything or are they the 3 gal type and trash or pinch? I have no experience with orions but a few locals like v6shooter use them and they seem pretty nice. Can you tell me in comparison what these run at or somthing? Im looking at the orion combos above. The lower priced one seems to be pretty nice its 5 port ceramic bearings. 3.5cc
Forgot ....You asked about the Ascendancy G5 I have not ran one one yet.
BUt as per Ascendancy they say they are the exact same thing as the now gone GRP .21 WHich I did run those for a while. They are a very smooth engine, not a powerhouse. BUt some poeple like that smoth controllable feel.
They have good mid and top end but just not the bottom end that a lot of of the engines have. I dont know if anyting has changed with the Ascendancy but with the GRPs they seemed to lose compression fairly quick like around 3-4 gallons start acting up from low compression. BUt like I said maybe they have addressed that with the G5. Quality and fit of the carb and internal parts are xlnt i do have to say.
