I got an Axe Rossi Cobra .21 running a 053 pipe and i have a round 5 Gallons on it and the pinch is GREAT i hope to get 10 Gallons out of the motor. Only thing done to the motor was a Front Bearing at the 5 Gallon mark

I have been running Bryons 20% but now i run Cold Fusion 30%

15 gallons? Dude, you should check the bearings atleast every 2 gallons at the most. You must not be racing hard, to get that kind of mileage out of your motor, when you arent checking the internals out.

I actually just hit 10 gallons with my VZB today, ceramic bearings, original p/s/r. It still has great compression and runs perfect!! I can't wait till my worlds edition comes in. I hear a lot of guys are cracking the case and the front bearing on the VZB II is bad. Anyone ever have that issue? Just rather get a heads up and just place it before i even run it.

Take a look at the break in guide at the top of the nitro off road page.
