RE: Axial .32 vs OS .30
I think i maybe a lucky guy. My OS 30Vg is a force to be feared. Runs great over 1 gallon now and still have a great compression. Powerwise the OS will outrun the axial anyday. I have friends over here with LRP, axial .28 and .32 and they all admit that my OS deliver more power.
The nickel sleeve that you guys talkedd about isn't really what's in the OS. Instead on one thick coat of nickel they use two thinner coats of nickasil. Wich is a blend of nickel and silicium. Just like the high end motocross parts are made of.
Anyhow, it's easy to jump on conclusion on what you've heard and read about.
