I have come back to the axe family after a short but unhappy time with another engine. Running another Cobra X1 Evo in my RC8T. Engine had the new rod so I ran it in with the axe rod then fitted an R7 rod that I had as a spare for the other engine. Even though the new rods have been an improvement I dont want to smoke another engine.Took it out for its first race over the week end and finished second overall for a 2 day event. Very happy with the engine/2050 combo. I have a 2096 Nova pipe that I am going to try next week end to see how it compairs, nothing ventured nothing gained, if it is no good I will run the 2050 again
