First I must say I have never persoanlly run a werks engine before. But I do keep hearing good things about them. And I think it is great that the owner of the company comes onto these fourms and anwsers all of our questions. I think I may try one in the future

get one and try it out. you can get a motor and a pipe for the price of a ninja. ninjas are good motors but i have been smoking them with the b5. try one you will not regret it.

I wouldnt go as far and say the b5 will smoke the ninja. But if I can get the same performance with the b6 as with the ninja for alot less than yeah it will be worth while to try out

Sure, as mentioned the B5 is a general purpose engine as has been proven over the last 6+ months it just works and it works well in both buggy and truggy! The B6 is specifically designed to provide a power-band best suited to buggy use. So the difference between the two:

Bottom end: B5 aggressive, B6 smooth
Mid range: B5 aggressive, B6 deceptively strong (read really smooth)
Top end: B5 strong, B6 equally strong
Run time: B6 + 1 - 1 /2 mintues

As mentioned the B5 is in my opinion the best all around performing engine available at the price or even for say + $100. It works well in buggy, it works well in truggy. It does not cost a lot and it is a perfect engine to have for most track conditions and is the choice if you are running truggy.

The B6 we have simply refined the power band so that it is more suitable for buggy's. It's smoother = less wheel spin and making it easier for the driver to put the power down efficiently this equals efficiency meaning more run time. So again it really is designed as a buggy racing engine and I think looking at what is on the market at this time it will prove to be one of the best! Hope this helps a bit!
Hey Ron, can't wait to try the new B6! How 'bout adding to your comparison with the rest of the family, the B3 and B7Pro....then maybe sticky them at the top so there's easily accessible info on the entire Werks off-road line of engines?

I have an idea of what you'll say about the B7, not quite sure where the B3 fits in though.....

thanks!!

I have a question. I know alot of guys will run the nova +4 in truggy so if this b6 is suppose to have as much if not more power than the +4 we wouldn't it be good in truggy too. My personal opinion I think this motor would be awsome in a truggy. As long as it gets me over jumps and out of the turns pretty quick then I will be happy. What are your thoughts Ron. I will be buying 2 motors at the 1st of July so I just wanted to know if I should go with the 5 or the 6.

The B3 is a bad ass mill! Its rips just like the B5 until the top end. I have both B3 and B5 looking forward to picking up a B6. I dont really have any use for the B7 as there arent any tracks around me that are very open. Plus you can use the same pipe on all the mills 2013 so you can save yourself even more coin! Love the Werks line up! Good job Ron and hats off to your customer service!

Why? Kortz just took 2nd in Pro Buggy last weekend at the RC Pro Series with the B5, the engine screams! Again you have to remember that the B6 is not intended to replace the B5, it is simply a slightly different tool for the job!

Hey J. Sears, you are right a lot of people do run the 21+4 in truggy but in that application I think the B5 works much better. First it has way more torque than the +4 or B6 and still gives you the easy 10+ run times that you need in truggy. To me it is not worth it giving up the extra torque to gain a bit of run time when you already have enough with the B5 to easily pit at 10-11 minutes in truggy. So to answer your question, will the B6 work in truggy? Of course! Do I think that it is the best solution for that application? No, personally I'd run a B5 if I was putting it in a truck. Hope that helps clarify what I was saying earlier.

Regards,

Ron
