Hola amigos, been a long time since I posted around here but I have a new Achilles on order which should be here in a few weeks and am pairing it with a 12hp Hangkai 2stroke which should be here next week. It’s amazing we can get 2 strokes again here in the states again due to a loophole in the epa rules so I’m excited about the 12hp only weight 57 pounds. No gym membership required to lug it around. Will get some pics of the build as parts start arriving. It’s good to be back on Fribs&Sibs. Cheers. Gwozhog

Ceredi launch wheels are in. I bought these from defender here in the states but these launch wheels are Italian made so I’m sure you can get them on the other side of the pond too. These have served me well on all of my sibs
