Hey.. which one is it? .32? TheHamburglar, just bought one, and says he had NO problems at all! Maybe, you should PM him or somethin' and ask him about it.

First off, note that the stock break in setting are way too rich, and that idling tanks through engines to break in is a TERRIBLE way to break it in.. If you are running with a pullstart, most .28 engines and up are a PITA to pullstart, so get a hairdryer and heat up the cooling head. It'll expand the piston and sleeve, making it easier to start. It all sounds like user error to me..

Status: offline 		ok, check this out, i am getting very angry because i have the axial 28 and it will not run under 300 degrees. i had no problem with break in, except the idle was too high, and if i changed it then it would jump up and down like he was saying, but the pull start was no problem. i just dont know what to do. at factory settings its too hot and if i adjust it to be cool, it wont run. this is the first motor i have had a problem with. the axial 32 may be a great motor, but from the sounds of it, the 28 is a dud

Status: offline 		does it put out good power and run consistantly at 300 degrees? if so, just run it there, thats the temp it seems to like. i once had an engine that wouldnt run at all unless it was up around 300, but it was still adjusted rich and getting plenty of fuel. although if youre still nervous about it, than talk to a guy on here with the username fuelman. i learned everything from that guy.

Downstroke,
Let me assure you, the Axial .28 Spec 1 S is not the same engine as the HPI 4.6. In fact please see the dyno results from Nitrodyne Systems comparing the two back to back.
