Havent run the B2 yet. Too tell the truth, I havent needed another motor since early spring of last year. I switched to Werks motors modded by Neal and John at Clockwork Racing and have loved them ever since. I have a B5 in truck and a B6 in my buggy. I think from last summer untill 2 weeks ago, I have moved the needles 3 hours just for the temp differences. They run great, sip fuel and make more power than I need. I would look at getting the B2. Too many people have had great success with them in stock form. And for $150 and 10+ minute run times in a truck, you cant beat it! Check out Clockwork Racing Engines. They are on sale for $150.

Love love love my B5 so far in my truggy. More power stock than I'll ever need an easy peasy 10 minute run times while still on the break in tune.

What is a good all around clutch set-up for an OS Vspec in the 2.0t? I tried the Dynamite max life shoes with gold springs and didnt have enough out of the corners. I am sure part of it is my pipe (Dynamite mid range pipe) as well as the fact that the engine isnt even totally broke in yet. I am thinking of trying 4 blue shoes but what springs? I am also thinking I need to get a high torque pipe as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

Try 4 gold springs and also get an re10 pipe and you will has plenty of torque.

I'm using 4x ebay blue alum. shoes with 4x 0.9mm springs. Plenty of punch, spend more time spinning the tyres than getting traction sometimes so if you're engine is strong maybe just go with some stiffer springs?

I picked up a 8T roller not too long ago and there is more slop than normal at the wheels (rear is far worse than the front). This is my 4th losi 8/8T so I am used to the normal slop but I'm stuck on this one.

I've replaced the rear rod ends and balls as they were very worn and it took a little slop away but still way more than any of my other losi's. I then tried new hubs and bearings, new wheel hexes, and nothing changed. The rim hexes are fine and I even tried new wheels, the only thing I could think of is the dogbone cvd's are worn a little thin and creating the slop..... any ideas?

Just a little FYI, your Clutching is a little backwards. A powerful motor would require a Soft Clutch set-up as oppose to a motor that lacks some, Which would require a Higher clutch stall to get some performance out of it.

Big Motor and Stiff spring's = No more clutch.
