If you have a manual I'd be most pleased

Is the displacement listed on the crankcase? Someone must know what it is, that's a pretty distinctive cooling head!

Looks like that might be an Axe Rossi motor but I can't tell which one it is. I went to their website and I can't find that engine with that cooling head. I would either take it to a hobby shop or contact Axe Rossi at [email protected] and send them a picture of that engine. Let me know what you find out because I'm curious.

Thunderbird was right, it's an Axe Rossi. I found a .pdf file from a link at http://www.internet-rc.com/rococartren.html where there's a very similar engine called a Black Magic. The crankcase is black and the head is plain aluminium but otherwise the same. Engine code is 125R21 and the same basic engine is offered as a marine engine as well. The most unusual thing is the 6 point engine mounting system which is usually only seen on very high performance engines and this is the first time I've seen it with a car engine.

Given the Rossi reputation this should be one seriously good engine.
