I tried one, the drive washer was a bit of a problem, as was fitting an rc carb (no big deal in this case) The thread is a bit short, so a stepped nut is needed, usually, and a drilled prop to fit. The timing is fine on the Axial, kind of tame for a pipe even. Got a Picco .05 P0 on the way maybe if I can work out the weak crank. The Axial, I cut off the threaded portion, and softened the crank, drilled and tapped it 10-32. 1/4" - 28 looked like it would weaken the bearing area. I am still looking for a cheap Novarossi .28 to somehow sneak into the house. I could buy a new airplane type reasonably now too ($160), but they used to be $400.
