A friend of mine has been waiting 2 months for 3W to fix his relatively new engine, which seized up on him. They don't return his calls or emails. By this alone, I will never veer away from DA, these guys know "service".

Default Re: DA OR 3W

now? ---- i have several - DA50, makes good power about 7200 on a 22x8, looks good, but has been back with crank and bearing failure, fixed for free in no time but i had to pay $60 shipping cost.

my ZDZ 50 ng, makes the same power but with better throttle response - i think it will out last the DA - 7160 with 22x8 - light and pretty.

my 3w 50 was a good engine(6300 on the 22x8) but could not match the above in power and was heavier - i believe it would have lasted a long time but i sold it to move on.

my mvvs 58 is much stronger than all by a long way, so much so that it is not a fair comparison. i think the 45 is in the same league as the other 50's

now if i had to buy a new engine today - i would seriously look at the 45 evo/mvvs.

but would also easily get another DA50 because it looks the part!! and i realy like it.
