Has anyone got any advice on whether these are any good?

Dunno, but I certainly wouldnt want a ‘rude FICHT ...... bit of a marmite engine but reliability and parts might br an issue

They get a bad rep, it’s the larger motors with the major issues. The smaller later produces ones, can’t remember the cut off / hp area, where supposedly very reliable decent motors with class leading consumption!

I had a 175hp FICHT ram on a 585 RC for 6 years. Never had a problem & it was like a scalded cat.
