axe 25 cobra
 
my name is luke stevens I just built a 8T 2.0, and put a 25 cobra in it. I ran a gallon through it and slowly leaned it out to a race toon. I have 6 tanks on the tune and have problems keeping the toon. Then it would not start and was takeing out plugs. I took the back cover off and the con rod bushing came apart and went through the motor. It is brand new. Have you herd of this? Will axe do anything for waranty. If you would be ok if I contacted you I would like to talk to you buy part and possibly another motor, and how to get cold fusion fuel. I would like to try it. I am running byron. Thanks Cris

I have a .25 and x1 cobra. The conrod bushing is a very common fault with the motor. I had the same issue at the 5 litre mark but axe came to the party with a warranty. The new motor had the upgraded rod and has done about 25 litres with no problems at all and the x1 has got 45 litres on it (the front bearing has just started leaking). They are a great motor and i think that i will replace the x1 with the x2 as soon as it dies, GO THE AXE.

Sorry about the poor lighting on the crank shots, I didn't realize they were so dim until after I shipped it out so I was unable to reshoot them:(

This is actually the engine that Mark modded for me and like i said to him after running it this weekend WHOLLY CRAP!!! This engine is TRUELY the BEST engine i have ever owned or driven. The linear powerband is in my opinion unmatched and the mods Mark completed made the engine that much better!! Mark is a TRUE professional at his craft and i would suggest to ANYONE to use his services! For those who are looking for a truggy motor you have to try this one. TONS of grunt to get you out of the cornors first and enough top end to ensure you don't get passed down the straight and STILL DRIVEABLE. Imagine that!! The needle in the haystack has been found!!! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

That number used to be for the RAL 3T 3 Port Buggy motor. Does it have a rather small greyish head??

Depending on the version they were a pretty good motor. If you got a later one the carburettors were unworkable.

here is some photos, the carb is very special. I open the it once, the screws on the back had some scars.

and the chamber with head is one piece.

thenova70ss 03-27-2010 08:24 PM

Are you looking for Parts?
If so i can give Axe Rossi a Call and talk to one of the guys and see what he has to say.

Qlder 03-27-2010 08:42 PM

Yep that is the motor. You can use parts from the Sport with that motor. The carburettor is useless, bottom end cannot be leaned out enough to work. Better to find a carb from the Sport or Speed engine.

thenova70ss 03-27-2010 08:45 PM

Qlder Thanks for the Info i have never seen a Rossi Motor like that it must be an older motor i have only been with Axe Rossi for the last 2 years.

cow9527 03-27-2010 09:12 PM

thanks for the info, I think I will sell or take for the train. just I'm confused about the carb.

LSN and HSN I get, but the other two is?

kodiakbear7070 03-28-2010 03:37 AM
