I really appreciate you getting back to me. As I mention, I have several engines and I enjoy running your products. I understand the restocking issue when things come from Europe especially during the end of the summer when several countries go on holiday which I think is a cool concepts. Wish we had something like that here. I also understand how getting product after they come back online is another issue considering many companies such as yourself are running low in inventory and are awaiting new shipments.

Re the B7 Pro. How are the run times compared to the B6? Are we talking about equal with a little more bottom end on the engine or is the B6 all around a better engine.

As for the parts, are all of the new mills using the same size bearings and is that also inclusive of the old engines. I'm asking so I can keep a few extra sets on hand. As one knows, it's not generally easy to get bearings when you are at a local hobby shop which could be near a track one is racing on. Especially when going away to a race, it's nice to have these on hand.

Quick answer is that all of our engines have allways used the same front and rear bearig sizes so yes they are all interchangeable. B7-Pro will give about 8 minutes tona tank in buggy and B6 most people are getting over 10. The difference between the two is the B6 has more bottom and the B7-Ponhas more top but it is realy only useable on reallly long tracks, the engine basicaly just keeps pulling. For US style tracks the B6 has a much more useable power band which is why we camemout with it. Hope his helps!

Regards,

Ron

For the standard rods we are looking at about another week or so before I get them. However the competition rods went out yesterday and they should have them on monday. This is the rod that is used on the B7-Pro and also fits on the B5 and B6. Regarding B6 engines A-main should have stock again on Tuesday.

Regards,

Ron

Re B7. Again, thanks for the reply.

I see what you are talking about. It seems the engine just doesn't stop pulling and on a tight track, it's hard to get the engine to product power on the low end when you are keeping the engine in the low rev band due to a tight track.

I have run the engine on a larger track and yes, it pulls long and consistent. I guess I should consider the B6 for shorter tracks. Another question if I may, it seems like the B5 is too much for a buggy. Would that be too much wheel spin and not enough legs for a medium size track, or just plan need the weight of a truggy to keep it tame..

Thanks

BTW - Thank for the reply to the restocking of the rods for Amain.

Not just the weight on a truggy. Gearing is different and you're running bigger diameter tires that are heavier and have a contact patch more than twice the size of a buggy tire. You need some bottom end grunt to get those things moving and you have enough rubber on the road to use it.

For all of the team guys that have been asking for them for a while I'm happy to say that we now have Werks Racing T-shirts in stock! We have L, XL , XXL and XXXL in high quality Hannes Beffy-T's. The shirts have out our large molten logo on the back (Large molten W logo with Werks Racing written under it) and a small version of the same logo on the front over the left chest. We have shirts available in the following colors:

Black
Cardinal (a deep red/wine color, looks really neat!)
Deep Navy (a really neat dark blue that looks almost black)
Fatigue Green (looks kinda like an olive green color for the military look)

I went with some cool, popping colors for our first run to be a little different than the typical white T thing. If you would like to get an order in shoot me over an e-mail and I'll get you taken care of!

Regards,

Ron

Lol, as the saying goes better late than never ;-) Plus there are some really cool looking colors that we got so don't be afraid to try out the non-traditional colors (cardinal, deep navy & fatigue green) as they look cool and breaks out of the traditional white or gray t-shirt thing.

Valid point you guys. I guess that I'm so used to the way that we normally do business which is we only sell through distribution so we do not sell to the public (with the exception of our team drivers which is why I mentioned them). However in this situation, none of our distributors carry our clothing as it is another new products so...... i guess if you want one I can take your orders direct until they get picked up by distribution in the future!

If you would like one of our shirts that I mentioned above please just send a mail over to [email protected] with T-shirt in the subject line. In the body of the text please mention how many shirts, what size(s) and what color you would like. Please also include your name, telephone number, address and credit card info (we do not take PayPal). If you are not comfortable e-mailing your cc info to us(we have a secure server), just mention it in the mail and we can give you a call to get it. Pricing on the shirts is as follows:

Large $22.99 less 20% discount= $18.39

XL, XXL & XXXL, $24.99 less 20% discount= $19.99


Shipping for a 1-2 shirts which will fit into a Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelop, $4.85 with delivery anywhere in the US within 3 days.

Congrats, and thank you. I think that you'll love it even more in buggy! Let me know if you have any questions once you get it in but for the most part break in and initial tune is just like with your B5.
