Ron which Wholesalers sell the B5? HRP, Horizon or both?

I'm gonna give one a try. I loved the power from my old B7 pro. Probably the smoothest fastest motor I ever drove and the sound of it on the pipe (2013) was worth the price of admission. I had issues with it at 3 gallons and gave up but I'm willing to try again for $200.00 mill

You can grab them from HRP, they should have them in stock. Otherwise GP can special order them for you if you would like. Also, thanks for giving our stuff a shot again. Let me know what you think once you get some fuel through it!

I'd like to send a quick shot out to Ty Spellman on making the Pro Buggy main and taking 10th at the Gas Champs running the B5 against some stiff competition with the likes of Easton, Mayfield and Cody King. Congrats!

Jaz, I'm on i think my 5th gallon and you know i was the first guy here in phoenix to run one. it doesn't run any different than when new. all i've done with it is LAPS!

i plan on running it till it dies and buying a new one. so when it dies, i'll let you know! if you made it out to the track once in a while.... i know, work, work work (jaz240 is a small business owner and he works his tail off!)

i'll let you check it out when i pass you on the 6th at the nitro pit

Big nasty why wait take it from one of your old local buddies. Buy another one now turn the one your using into a back up motor. Thats what I just did. I just really like this motor, and the customer service and info that Ron is willing to give. Not another motor thread on here that backs there motor the way Ron backs his............

well, i have had NO performance fall off yet, and while i SHOULD be making money cuz it's tourist season, we're going through bankrupcy and new owner changes at work, which means NO ADVERTISING BUDGET whatsoever... i should be making like 600 bucks cash just fri and sat nights and i'm lucky to get half that right now.... also paying for nitro challenge race fees this week (75 bucks to joey) and tires for that (60 bucks to someone) so there's more than half the cost of a new b5.... hoping that i do well enough in the points series this year to win something cool enough to sell and get extra race money

i'll be rockin a brand new B5 by the time i head east for the alabama manufacturers shootout in june. as for right now, my b5 is purrrrrrrfect. i'll be rockin it at the dirt nitro challenge at nitro pit next month. i'm tellin ya, this engine's MONEY!
