It is AMAZING to find so much info in one place about the axe rossi motors. I was directed here by Blackmagic21 after seeing that "he is a huge fan of the black magic" (which might be an understatement), any who i too am a fan of the black magic. I got one used about 5 years ago with the purchase of a crappy wannabe Mayhem st. He said it was rebuilt and hasn't ran it much since. Well i purchased the whole package for 200.00 bucks. Let me tell ya, i justify the purchase as spending 200.00 on the motor and the mayhem st was just crap attached to it.

I ran the mayhem for a year and i couldn't control it what so ever. But man could i blow the lids off every body else in the straight away lol. Then 2 years later i put it in a buggy (losi 1.0) There again it was hard to control so i tamed it down with clutch shoes and springs. Fast forward a year and i bought a original mamba for 200.00 new before they had x models cause i liked the axe and no one else ran them. (I like to be different) The mamba was awesome right out of the box, very comparable to the black magic but not as much power it seemed which is ok still have to tame down cause of the low end is huge.

Any ways i have not had problems with rod on eithier motors. have replaced bearings in the mamba for this year and everything looked fine. The black magic is collecting dust cause it is in need of a rebuild. And a carb cause one of the needles wouldn't screw out and i broke it. Also after reading this whole thread i guess my mamba is in need of a new carb also cause i followed online rossi directions to find tune and i bottomed out both needles.

Any ways im looking for parts for the black magic cause i would like to use it in my new truggy (losi 2.0) and i loved the pipe that came with the black magic which is the expandable one. (name escapes me) i need the o-rings that go in the middle on the screw part of the pipe.

If i can get the parts reasonable I would like to use the mamba and blackmagic this year for racing (i live in wisconsin so racing is seasonal) before i use the O.S. Speed that i bought used for 125.

Sorry about the long post, just really excited to find new info on axe oh and im gonna sneek this in i have a Axe .12 X5 new in box never seen fuel just fingerprints for sale
