It's been a while since I have seen a set, but the knobs were indeed just for show. They went as far as adding detents with a spring and ball setup, but the knobs turned indefinitely and had zero bearing on internal function.

There are RFY's that have a shaft adjustable setup that actually works and they come with a really good modern piston. They are hens teeth though.

Quote from: sav0r on September 02, 2025, 11:20:47 AMThose ones look nice but the standard RFY is a better option. For starters, the knobs are fake on those clones.

Thats hilarious that they would add the extra material and hardware to make a buck. Very strange indeed.
Do not underestimate the power of a two-stroke.

Welcome to the world of subsidized manufacturing. It's much easier to get government subsidies in China to produce items. So the products don't always make sense, or even need to, since it's much easier to turn a profit with even sub par products. The lack of meaningful knobs being case and point.
