Axial Engines thread
 

Hello, I just wanted to start a thread where people could ask questions and recieve answers about our new line of engines.

Also I would like to announce that the new Axial .12 spec I RR engine achieved 3rd best qualifier and an outstanding 2nd place finish in the expert touring A-main during it's first outing at the Florida Winternats this month.

Congratulations Chris Tosolini!! Outstanding performance!!

hmmm
 

price available & was the winter nats motor modified at all curious :cool:

Congratulations on the Winternats results. That's pretty good for the engine's first big race!!

Will your engine line be available in Europe as well?

Thx

will these engines me available in australia? i would love the .32 in my savage...

Soloartist 702, I am sorry but I cannot disclose prices on the forum, however, the .12 Spec I RR engine details (specs and cost) will be posted to our website soon as we are still finalizing design details and completing the prototyping process now.

Also the .12 Spec I RR engine that Chris Tosolini used at the winternats was completely stock, unmodified engine. (3 port config. no turbo scoop on crank, no knife edging of the flyweights, no special sleeve porting etc. We ran it just as it would come out of the box, We did do some head shimming though to adjust for fuel, pipe, and conditions) This engine is extremely powerfull without modifications!

Surge, Thanks alot! We weren't to prepared for this race as we recieved our prototypes the day before the race, and never had a chance to properly break them in!

Stefan, Yes, our engines will be available in Europe soon. The .28 and .32 engines will be available through Robitronics, and the .12 Spec I RR will be available within a few months also.

ProudSavageOwner, Yes our engines will be available in Australia within the next few weeks or so. They will be distributed through Hobby Headquarters. The .12 Spec I RR should be released in Australia in 3 months or so.


Thanks for the interest guys, I will be online to help in any way I can to support our new line of engines!

Cheers!

I'm glad to see a manufacturer that says the engines are fast without mods instead of telling people that the extra work (and the extra US$100) makes more power.......... ;)

Axial Racing,

I saw you guys testing at Crystal Park not too long ago. I was impressed with Chris's car. It seemed to hold it's own throughout the entire powerband.
You have my thumbs up. :nod:

Good luck :D

i dont think im gona be putting a .12 in my savage LOL and i wana know if possible the accurate time for the .32 to come to australia because if its gona be more than a few weeks nething under 4 weeks im gona go with the collari .32 or OS 30 thats all

SalvadoriRacing, We have dynotested this engine extensively with all possible configurations to the engine internals, and have found that most of the things people do to 'mod' their engines is more visual than functional.

Glitch44, Thanks for the compliment! We have been working hard to make sure the .12 Spec 1 RR engine is top notch before it's release. We have made a bunch of improvements even from the Winternats, and hope to have .12 engines available in the mid May.

ProudSavageOwner, The Axial .32 Spec 1 S engines should be available in Australia now through Hobby Headquarters.


Axial Racing

is chris running that .12 in the up coming worlds

again i'm very happy to read such a thing like this from a manufacturer..... ;)

The Axial .32 and Surefire .32 are identical motors...except the head color.

I have the Axial .28 in my Hyper One Seven. Still breaking it in. Will leave feedback when I can.

I have the SF .32 ready to go into my LST2. Clutch shoes are back ordered right now. :(


Who makes the Axial? HoBao? King Star? Toki?

I think it's King Star who makes the K4.6, SF.32, and Axial.

To all the Guys at Axial engines.
congrats i read the XRC article when you tested your new .12. and i want to buy one on sheer principle. you guys had nothing to hide and this shows confidence in your product. so good on you all.
do we have any prices on the .12 yet?

wats teh price difference between the sure fire .32 and the axial 32? are they like totally identical or not..? if so imma go with the cheaper brand

The .28 is what Im looking to put in my buggy and Ive wanted one now for a couple months. You just simply cant beat price. And so far Ive heard absolutely nothing negative about the axial engines. I cant wait to get it and break it in.

Is your line of engines gonna be available in Asia especially Hong Kong? Looking or an engine to replace my STS soon on the truggy.

Cheers~

Most definitely. .28 & .32 and .12 will be avalable around June - July in Asia.

Congratulation to Ron Atomic with his TQ title on Texas Biggies. His RRR was powered by AXIAL RR Spec1 motor . Also congratulation other team Axial driver Todd Bath with his 3rd qualifying position and his car was powered by Palmaris PROFI PR12.
Both Ron and Todd were using Rocket Science fuel which seems to be one of the best today.
Edward.

Ron Atomic :eek: :D
Go Go Todd... u look like a regular on podium now........ :nod:

So, when can we expect the official release of this engine?

Good thing Ron's going to the Great Lakes Challenge instead of coming back to Memphis for Beat the Heat. He won't be here to make everyone look like they are driving backwards. :nod: By the way when will the 12RR be available in the US? :deathstar

Congratulation to Axial racing team driver Todd Bath with his win at the Texas Biggies. Todd Bath's RRR was powered by Palmaris PROFI PR12! Good Job Todd!
Unfortunatly while Axial Racing team driver and TQ Ron Atomic was leading the race, his car was hit by another driver putting him out of the race. We will get them next time Ron!

Congratulations to both Ron and Todd. Axial Drivers took the TQ and the win at this years Texas Biggie. Here come the Nationals.
Edward

12 RR Spec1 scheduled to release on mid of June.
PR12 been release for while now.

Hey Chris. Yeh, he really look like regular there. :nod: :nod: :nod:

Sweet can't wait. Did the problem with the engine being finiky from XRC atrical end up being fixed?

Yep. This is why we didn't release our motors in that time-we decided to race on them in real races, not in testing fields and after the while engine is running pretty good (I guess) we will release it on market.
Edward

You guys are on the ball. Any idea of an estimated street price?

I have no idea about pricing-it is priority of different department- I am just product designer there. Any tech questions-please more then welcome to help.
Edward

I thought Ron ran for O.S.?

Hi Brad. yes Ron was running OS in the past but recently he joied Axial team and running our engines.
Edward
