Stage 3 upgrade kit for the NQ50

Post by mark.nichols18 »

Whats up people my buddy has a bone stock spree (85) and wants to upgrade there is a stage 3 kit on ebay for like 145 shipped that includes the bbk, all the gaskets, intake mani, new upgraded carb, throttle cable, upgraded final drive, and somemother goodies i think...... What do you guys think about this kit..... Is it legit? Or is it trash .... He wants to do a motor swap but i thought it would be easier to just hook up the nq50 ...... What do you think???

for 125 it sounds like a deal :2thumbs:

But I think that kit is more like $350 :sad:

For $350 you could do an engine swap and have better results :imo:
