When I print some more I'll get them out to the shops, I'm out of stock right now.

Hey alaphoid, first let me thank you for picking up one of our engines. Now as to the shimming question this is really one of those type of questions where if you got to ask you should probably not be doing it. Shimming to adjust deck height is a pretty important and I should say exact thing that should not be taken lightly. Doing it incorrectly or should I say setting it too low will (and there is no maybe, it will) result in detonation and damage to your engine. When adjusting deck height every set up is unique and is predominately dictated by the atmospheric conditions & elevation, heat range of the plug, pipe choice and very importantly (and often forgotten) the fuel composition that is used.

If you are comfortable adjusting deck height through trial and error (slowly lowering it and checking for signs of detonation and continuing to do so until you do) then by all means go for it. If you are not comfortable doing this then I would recommend that you just leave deck height where it is and run 30% fuel which the engine is set up for from the factory.

Hey Ron, I just ordered a B5 and 2013 from my LHS for the coming season. He ordered it from HRP but told me it was back ordered. Any idea when more motors and pipes are going to ship to HRP?

Thanks

Hey Andrew, thanks for ordering one of our engines! I would think TNT we should have them stocked up again around the end of next week, possibly the begin of the week after. Hope this helps!

Ron

Thanks bro!

UPS is delivering this bad boy today. I wont be home until tomorrow. Cant wait to get home to open the garage and see a nice new shiny engine sitting on my work bench.

Going to clutch it and block it up Wednesday night for a Thrusday break in. Neighbors are going to be pissed.

OK, for all of you that have been patiently waiting........the pipes are here! We just sent a bunch of the new 2010 versions of the 2013's and 2057's to A-main!!! UPS will be dropping them off tomorrow there and should be showing back in stock in their system by tomorrow afternoon or the day after at the latest!

Regards,

Ron

The B-5 has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Ron I got the other carb. It does it also. But ive done alot of playing around and think I have it narrowed down. First off im running the JR 9100s in my Losi. Have to use the 1/4 inch spacer to keep it from banging on the pan. Lifts it pretty high. Now since Im not having the prob with the 2010 Ive kinda come to the conclusion that really the only 2 differences in the carbs are the material there made of and the o-ring on the 2010 carb. So I think the next time I run the comp. carb im going to run a o-ring at the base. My thoughts being that if it is raising the carb just enough to get a better alighnment, that could possibly stop the binding. The other thing I noticed, is it only hung up when it was warm. When cold no hanging up at all. Alls I know is you have been more than helpful in this matter and you have a customer for ever. For that matter I just got my buddie to buy a B5 last night. The other thing that is cool is that when one of the experts come up to you and say you got more speed than anybody on the track, you just have to learn how to control it now. makes you feel pretty good .... Buy the way he runs a b5 too. Thanks again Ron

Yep Rick thats why they call it radio CONTROL. Easier said than done though

Ron any idea when Amain will recieve the 30% fuel ?

Yea Steve, Hood told me that Sun. when we were out there. He couldnt beleive that it was only runnin 220. That was my old one with comp carb. I personally think the 2010 is even faster............. Now I have to learn even more control lol

I will be getting my 2057 pipe this week and it will also be my first race with the B5 i am really looking forward to getting on the track i have ran the B7, b7team line and the b3 team line so it will be fun to see how it compares to them i will give a full report after i return from the races.
