GBNo customer service & they delete negative reviews I've made several orders from them and always got what I ordered. One expensive item (<$1K) arrived with some inexpensive parts missing. I provided them with the prod #, missing parts#, part description, & photos from their assembly manual. Many emails were exchanged. Still, the service tech was unable to correctly identify the part. He guessed at it and twice sent me the wrong parts and then gave up. When I wrote a negative review, they pulled it off their site.

GBZero Service after purchase They are all over you when they smell a sale, but when there is a problem, nobody helps you. They are just resellers of products, and their English is atrocious. Truthfully, bad reviews are deleted. I'm still waiting for parts from over a year ago. Stay away from this place. Go to Sterlingkit, Unlike these people, they actually answer your emails and concerns. Here, you only lose money!

GBFantastic Fantastic! This is the 4th project I've purchased from EngineDIY and I have enjoyed each and everyone. The Rotary 5 Cylinder, the Fighter Jet Engine, the V8 Flat Plane Crankshaft Engine and now the Turbofan Jet Engine. This particular model project is made from all metal parts with precision fitment and provides 20+ hours of assembly enjoyment. All of these projects are in lighted displays in my home and are enjoyed by friends and family. Especially noteworthy is all these models "run" by rechargable battery. Watching pistons, gears, propellers and machine parts move is awesome! I've been purchasing from this outfit for 4 years and look forward to future kits.

GB44cc Small block Hottie V8 engine This is my second engine directly from CISON. My first was the V2 15.7cc Harley Davidson Engine and now the Chevy small block V8. Both, I am very pleased with because both came directly from the manufacturer in China and the price compared to buying them in the U.S. is much cheaper directly from China. Customer service is absolutely great! I hope you are lucky enough to speak with Lucas! You can usually get a response very quickly. My experience has been within 24 hours! I first contacted CISON about a Hall sensor that went bad on my V2 engine. I had the sensor in my hand about 10 days later straight from China. My second experience was for instructions to assemble the V8 in English. I was immediately sent assembly instructions in Chinese that Lucas said would be converted to English and sent to me later. I actually converted the instructions to English and sent them back to CISON before they could do it! I simply used adobe to convert the document to word format in Chinese and then converted Chinese to English! They were very appreciative to me beating them to the punch. I am still in the process of assembling the V8 and will post videos to YouTube immediately when finished. These model engines are a real work of art and very mind blowing! Today I demonstrated the Harley Davidson engine to automotive students at my school and they were totally blown away that it actually runs..... myself and the instructor showed the partially assembled V8 engine to the students and they can't believe something that small and realistic actually work and runs! They wanted to hold the block! The price you pay for these engines is small compared to the WoW!!! you get from future automotive technicians. My plans are to purchase another one and donate it to the school. These things are great conversation pieces, fun to work on and even great to just look at! I love my purchases from CISON because they're trustworthy, reliable and better to purchase from than local. Stay tuned for my first videos on YouTube that will demonstrate problems, fixes and downloadable instructions in English. My first video will show what's in the box? Assembly and then running! Stay tuned...... I'll be back!

GBToyan V800 base Toyan V800 base Built the base with the additional parts of 3 ea, motor starter modules to make switching loads for a start enable (whole unit power), glow plug power(power to the 2 plug units), and the motor starter (self explanatory). I also added a second start button switch for safety to help prevent a stuck starter button sw from burning up the starter motor. So functionally. You have to press both start switches to crank the motor. I soldered all connections and used heat shrink to insulate the connections. All the electrics are installed inside the base. I did relocate the mounting of the motor to my preference. I’m still waiting on a replacement black fuel tank, or the glass for one end of my tank as it came with a cracked glass on one end.
