Thoughts on a FOX PRO HTK w/ 10hp Subaru?
Saw this close to me on eBay but it has the Subaru engine. Aren't they a problem to mod?
Anyone know anything about these "full suspension" buggies themselves? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

If you can get it cheap enough, it looks pretty fun. The Subaru engines are, in my opinion, the best in the market. Excellent engines. Where a tecumseh is rated with a life spann of about 150 hours, the Subaru is rated for 1000 hours. I have 0 complaints about their engines. Modding them could be difficult because I don't think there is a lot of aftermarket available for them. Reliability wise, I say they can't be beat.

In the way of reliability, how B&Ss rated in comparison with Robins?

I'm not sure exactly but certainly better than a tecumseh and I'd say less than a honda or the subaru. To me personally, their carb design is far less superior than that of a honda or subaru but that doesn't stop millions of people using them on various toys and they are easily modified for performance.

I know its too late now, but even modding them is starting to become a lot easier. There are a few out there that have cams, a stroker kit, do valve and compression work etc. IMO they're above or dead even with honda in reliability and power. The cams Im thinking of getting for mine were said to give an extra 5hp and lb ft of torque on the dyno.
