Sounds like some 4 stroke Chinese piece of s***.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

typhoons can be built wicked fast just like dio or jog style, solid engine setup and lightweight

no comparison to a spree, much newer technology a spree is outdated in stock form.
projects galore :nerd:
