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.

With Chris's permission, I have a few shots of an Axe Rossi .25 Cobra I just did. This engine was timed and set up for use with the Axe 2050 that came with the engine in a kit form. 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

Could you give me the factory settings for the low and hi speed needle and I have found that the carb like to be open a lil more then most motors out there on the market also I am running byrons 30% nitro 11% lub could you tell me the propper shiming for this motor I have read that it is .020 with two shims but in order for me to occomplish this I need to run the three shims so do I run the three or keep the two.
