make one out of wood.

an engine weighs like 150kg, so its hardly heavy..

Mines from SGS Engineering, it's OK, not the best construction, and they were absolutely disgusting with there attitude to customer service when the 24hrs next day delivery took 7 days..

Your advantage is there probably very close to you? So no issues with delivery etc. But imo go for there more expensive version of there things. Or find a better brand that's priced in between the two but will be the upper range quality.

Yeah dead close they'll do them a bit cheaper too. Just wasn't sure on what you said about their quality.

Well the rear wheels are just held on with weak split pins, they just lack a bit of robust construction that I've noticed premium brands are as lot better for not a lot more, basically there a tad faules economy lol
