When will the stock B5's be back in stock at Amain? They are currently listed as BACKORDER.

We are out of stock until next week and will be filling their order then. If you need one now you can get it from Tower Hobbies, Absolute Hobbyz, Nitro House etc. etc.

No talk on the B5 Pro? Is nobody running it?

We are selling more of them than our standard B5's right now so they are being run. Take a look at this thread for some comments on them

I've loved my B5 pro so far! Easy to tune, was a very pleasant first gallon of taking it easy, and it really rips with the 2013!

Is Tower Hobbies shipping the latest version with the new cooling head design? Really like the new look.

I wanted to tell you that the new engine looks sweeet....Love the new cooling head with the black case and all the fixins...Great Job on the new mill......:nod:

So I bought the B5 Pro/ 2013 a month or so ago and it had its first debut at the JBRL Round 3 at Milestone. So far its been real easy to tune, hasn't flamed out and I had a little under half a tank after 6 minutes on my Truggy. With about 1.5 gallons on it, I can say that this thing rips pretty good and has plenty of torque to move the truggy (even geared up one tooth from standard). It was only getting faster as the day went on. Next stop is Palm Desert and hopefully in the extreme heat that is possible there, it will perform as it already has. Great motor, can't beat the price. If anyone is looking to buy something that will keep with the Novas and OSs, this engine will have you smiling :)

Congrats to 13yr old Werks team driver Cade Whitenton on his solid run at Round 7 of the National RC Pro Series in Scott Lousianna this past weeknd at Finishline Raceway. Cade was TQ in Open Arena Truck after four rounds of qualifying. The B5, 2013 and 4 shoe Werks clutch setup was solid all 3 days. Unfortunately we had a little bad luck in the 30 minute main while leading with a rear cvd popping out.

Finishline built a fun and challenging track. There was a good Werks showing at the race as well, which was nice to see. I know there were some good top five finishes for Werks in all of the classes.

Thanks Ron for the awesome support and product!

Good Job Cade and keep working hard.

Dad

Congrats on the results and thank you for working with us! I love to see the father and son teams doing well. For all of you with kids, give some consideration to getting them involved in racing with you. With the hectic lives that we all live nowadays with work and everything it's a great opportunity to spend some quality one to one time with your children! Over the years I've had the pleasure of working with quite a few young up and coming drivers like Tanner Stees out of AZ, Matt Gosch in IL, Mikey Sharwin, Taylor Peterson and several others. It always brings a smile to my face to see these guys on the track laying the smack down and while a lot of them have moved on to other companies I'm still happy to have been involved in their careers! Congrats again Cade and again, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with you guys!!!

I started racing in 1991 and stopped in 2001 when my son was born. I always had r/c cars at home when he was younger...when he hit 8 in '09 WE started racing. It's been great watching him get better and better. He doesn't get to race as much as I would like because of soccer, but when WE do, it's a blast. He started racing in nitro truggy and he loves it. I now need to upgrade his equipment over to Werks like mine.:D

B5 Pro Rocks
 

Ron just wanted to add my gushing compliments on your new Pro B5. All the improvements are well done and the new carb is slick! You even put the notches in the LS needle housing that I suggested back when you were asking for ideas:nod:

I look forward to the next go around of Werks engines. Until then, I will be ripping with my new B5 Pro (and Clocked!).

my son has gone with me to the track since he was 6 mths old for a little while then momma comes and picks him up he jut turned 4 and a half this past week and whenever he drives during practice (he does not race yet) he always gets compliments and people just stare and watch him drive as its pretty awsome watching a 4 yr old drive a 1.8 buggy around a track altough he does not have throttle "control" in the air down perfect yet, he can drive the track very well infact. and I hope in a couple years he will be racing then i can just wrench on his stuff :lol:
