Its just that they made big announcements like it was going to be something revolutionary.....and its an incremental update. they could have just made these changes on the run and not even had a press release. Its not a different engine, its a marketing thing to get people convinced that if you have the "old" 5k, you need to upgrade.
Very Appleish.......
(BTW, I like both Apple and xray/hudy/fx...LOL)
Either way....My next engine purchase will be an FX! I want to give them a try.

BUT, nova for example, every year "new" engine line-up. selling all same engines on 3 different brands with different colors...
i will try the K5 for sure.

But this engine says new and improved on it. That one that looks identical doesn't say new, it must be garbage. Sell me the one that says new for the price of the not new one.
This may seem silly but in retail this is all to common.

so how is it any different bringing out a new model every year to every two years from a retail point of view?
I would have thought that waiting longer for new models would make it worse for the older engines, as then the perception is that it really is ancient.
Just chuck a clearance sticker on it, and 5% off the price and to the "inexperienced" racer you are selling these engines to, it wont make a lick of difference, and experienced racers run new engines every season anyway, so you're golden.
Why should retailers trying to clear items out, stop a machine like Hudy from bringing out improved stuff for racers who will appreciate the improvements.

A Nova P5 is an "ancient" engine, and still totally viable.
And engines DO have resale value. Also used. Just like anything.. Except maybe whatever you buy on itunes....

There is just no pleasing some people.
How many changes do you want for it to be "new and improved"?
1:- new sealed combustion chamber with larger surface for improved heat transition to the engine head.
2:- new redesigned lightweight engine head with improved cooling.
3:- new carburetor
4:- new needles which help to improve easier carburetor setting and ensures more linear power of the engine
5:- plenty of other refinements of smallest details based on improved manufacturing processes.
Thank You Mr Hudy for listening to the people who actually run your engines and making the changes we ask for.

No timing changes, no port changes, no crank changes, the ceramic bearings and DLC coated crank are the same....but yet being advertised as a refinement.
Like I said before....I am all for improvement, and I like the product, its just not new. Its a version of the same....a 2.0......a refinement.
But.....we are splitting hairs, so I will concede.
I can't wait to get my hands on a 5k, k5, dc, b5, whateveryawannacallit and try it out! This is for sure my next engine purchase.
