Ron, to be honest I don't know what I will do. I do know that I have 3 great mills now. The one B-5 is going to be a practice motor. Maybe I will use the other B5 for short and high traction situations and the B6 for med.large to large tracks and also when traction is low since the torque is smoother. Will have to see but I know 2 things. I won't need any motors for awhile and I am in a great predicatment.

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
Thank you Ron. I guess that kinda helps me make up my mind. As long as I can get 10-11 minutes run time then I will be happy. I will Be buying 2 of the B5's at the first of July and a 2013 pipe to go with them.

It's still a great engine and not a decision that I would regret but if you do decide to pick up another mill down the road I hope you will consider giving one of ours a shot.
