Just installed the engine in my RC8 and have two questions. The first is the collet that comes with it. Is it specific to the engine or the fly wheel? When I tried with the stock RC8 flywheel, the flywheel rubbed on the engine. I was going to shim it but tried the old collet and it was fine. The other question is about the header gasket. I could not get my header (JP2) to go on it. Is there a trick to it or does the JP2 have a different I.D. Sorry about the newb questions.
Oh yeah one more question concerning the break in procedure on page one. Does it matter if I left the insert in the carb? Thanks. |

Thanks Ron for the clarification of onroad plugs
Can you please tell me if the Sirio #5 are the same as the Werks #5 plugs as I'm in desperate need of some and AMain has been on back order for weeks. thanks Glen Honestly I'm not sure what Trinity/Epic is spec'ing on the Sirio plugs. If you need plugs immediately you might want to go with a P3 plug for a minute. |

Thanks Ron, your a good man. You stand behind your products , offer great advice (on anything and everything I might add), and that gives me great confidence to continue to buy your awsome engines (another B5 went through my AMain shopping cart today!!).

Hello as I do with the length of the gas B5???
Hello, how are you, I bought a B5 Werks, I live in Venezuela, excuse my English, I wanted to know how to make my engine last longer B5 Werks before entering the pits, a law that says 10 min, but that is as the engine is configured or do I have to do something specific to last 10 minutes, I had never tested the low of this engine is impressive, much I appreciate your answer, my email is [email protected]

PNB
Big thanks to Ron for helping us team drivers at the PNB he was awsome in tuning and giving advise. Had B5 on the buggy and was out running just about everything in the stright away no flame outs and was getting about 12 min on a tank of gas. Ron is a awsome guy and can not thank him enough. :)

Ok I just wanted to say how awesome this motor is. I just took out the glo plug to clean the carb and motor out some and I was shocked. This thing still has great metal pinch and compression to it. I think it has close to 3 gal on it. Wow I am defiantly hooked on these motors. I'm just waiting for my +4 to go bad and I will be getting one for my buggy.
These motors hold a tune all day. At the last race my daughters Buggy died on the track (dead battery), and when they got it back to the pits it was purring like a kitten the whole time they said. :D |
