The New Werks B5 .21 Racing Engine
#1816
at motorama, i raced with the B5/2013 setup and have to say that it is a perfect all around setup........gave me 9+ mins of run time in my 8T-2.0 on byrons 30% race.......unfortunately, i was taken out in the main(broken rear hub).......either way, i(as well as mike b. and marshon had great results with the B5..........and that's why i have a new(2010) in the box as a 'spare"..

I ran the new 2013 in truggy and 2057 in buggy this past weekend at the Florida State Series race in Daytona with great results.
Qualified 3rd in pro truggy and 5th in pro buggy. Zero flameouts all weekend Fri-Sun and they ran flawless during the 30 minute A mains.
The engine/pipe combo gave me 9+ minutes per tank and I have a heavy trigger.
I am going on 4 gallons with both engines, they both still have great compression and the power keeps getting better it seems. These are also
one of the first B5's that have the older style carb, and not to mention the SAME plug!
I highly recommend the B5 and the new Werks tuned pipes.

I'll go ahead and throw my positive review in, not that another one is really needed as all reviews seem to be positive.
Almost 2 gallons in, pushing a Losi 2.0T truggy, great motor. Plenty of juice even with the "wrong" pipe. (053 for now)
Nice to buy something at a reasonable price that performs as promised. You don't see that much anymore.
