What's the best way to lock the piston remove/install the flywheel nut? Should I be looking at the glow plug tool or the crankshaft tool? I'm seeing some negative things about the glow plug tool.

Loving the B5 Pro motor by the way. It took the win the first time out after the break-in was done. Plus I'm just shy of 9 minutes with your tuning tips and some expert help track side.

Thanks for using our products and glad that you are liking the motor! In regards to your question I never use those piston stoppers, imho it puts un-needed stress on the rod bushing. I simply grab the flywheel with a large set of channel locks and then tighten/loosen the flywheel nut with either a socket or t-handle wrench.

That's how I installed the flywheel but I guess I wasn't liberal enough with the loctite. The nut backed off enough to let the flywheel spin. It just took a bit to get everything apart. We reassembled everything the same way but used a shim behind the new collet and a little more loctite this time.

Would you suggest the B5 Pro or a B6 Pro for a truggy? The B6 literature made it sound more ideal for a buggy. I'd like to stay with you guys if I pull the trigger on a truck.

What pipe are they using with the B5 for 1/8 GT onroad?
I see a lot of guys using them.

Hi Ron,

I just received a new batch of plugs, and they look to be made by a different company. They're a different colour, shape, seal and coil. They're also no longer in a blister pack.

Whats the reason for the change?

Its not just a package change. The plug is different as well. I understand company's make changes. I'm just curious why you have changed the plug. The Werks plugs were amazing, hence why I run them. I've been ordering them in because the plugs have been hard to get locally. The new one looks like a picco plug which if it is I could have just bought them here cheaper. Werks plugs were the only plug i could get to survive in my FX engines. being they look like a different plug im a little hesitant to just throw one in and expect the same result.

I have no problem with the change as picco plugs are great as well. I'm just curious why it was changed

Left is the Werks plug I just received. Right is the Werks plug I already had.

Been out of nitro for a while and am really looking forward to breaking in this fine Italian race engine.

Here's to hoping the northeast warms up and nitro season getting started.
