i am running the b6 in my losi 2.0T this weekend at the midwest nitro championships in illinois. it has all the power i can handle and doing a test run i got 14:17 run time!! running it with a 086 pipe.

Wow, how many sec's per lap on that track Al?

19-20. having a lot of fun. only motor i've seen out pull me was a b5!

Sweet, good luck to you and the Ft Dodge crew. Summer just won't come quick enough...

wow....thats impressive, was that a consistent 14:17? I run 8t 2.0 also and the best time i had so far is 14:00 with my speed and 60 pipe.......and it only happened once!

wow that is great, have you tried any other pipes yet like the 2013 or 2057 in the truggy? are you using the stock gearing?

Thanks for the info

When I broke my 2013 at a race, a guy at the track sold me an 086 so I could keep running, it killed my runtime, and my bottom end. I went from about 10 minutes tanks to barely getting through a qualifier.

I personally know Al so I doubt he's making it up, but with that said if it's being ran on a indoor track with no long straights that isn't unheard of since you burn alot of your fuel on wide open straights. Also I'm sure there would be a major needle change that would need to be made going from the 13 to the 86.

I wasn't saying he made it up, I was just kind of saying if he is getting that long with an 086, the 2013 or 2057 would probably give him even better results. Plus it would probably let his bottom end really come to life. I didn't really have much of a chance to change my tune when I had to make the switch to the 086, and it did seem to be running rich., I did run it a few times more after that day, and it still wasn't anywhere near the runtimes or bottom end power of the werks pipes. It did fly though. I ended up going down from a 16 to a 14 tooth clutch bell while I ran that pipe.

I also noticed a huge swing in the power band. It really moved everything way up. I wasn't really getting all of it's power until about half way down the straight. Where as the 2057 has really smooth power all the way through.

Damn what set up did you have? Gear & clutch?

Hi guys. Just headed home from racing. I have not tried the works pipes as of yet. They were not in my budget just yet. I was getting 14+ consistantly during all my practice runs. Running 14/48 gearing. Only 30 minute main so I ran 10 minute pits. My buddy is running the b5 in his 2.0 on 13/50 gearing with a 086 pipe. His main was 45 minutes so we pitted him at 11 1/2 and saved him 1 stop over the field. These motors are the best!

Werks motors finished 1st and 3rd in the pro and 3rd in intermediate truggy classes at the Illinois indoor state championships!!

werks b5
 

I can confirm nitro al did get the 14 minute runtime. I was there and temp his motor it was at 205. Granted its a tight track but it was fast. I also seen him get over 13 mins in texas on a huge track.

I just ended up finishing 3rd overall in pro truggy running my pitstops at 11 1/2 mins with fuel to spare also with an 086 pipe. Alan richards drove an awesome race and brought it home with his b5.

I was an os driver but I think ill stick to my werks engines. U should too!

it was the il state nitro champs, not the midwest. i used werks b5 motors in both buggy and truggy,2057 and 2013 pipes and werks clutches to qual. 5th in buggy and 2nd in truggy. put a new fuel tank in the car b4 the main and it was bad, the motor was lean then rich, then lean again, cant believe the motor kept running. too bad, the car/motor was sooo good till i changed the tank :( took the win in truggy, love my werks!

so allan how was the b5 in the buggy with the 2057 pipe power wise
