I have a blast with that big dumb animal. B5/2013 or 2083 is one heluva combo. Now it's time to play with the 25XZ.

No! But just a sticker that says "Battery's Are Not Included!" :sneaky::lol:

I timed a tank at the Fear Farm 1/8 track in AZ last night. 11min 17sec till dry:) Running Clocked b5/ofna053 with 6mm venturi

Thanks guys!I had to work very hard for that third place.as we were doing the linup to the 30 minutes main I noticed that my servo was not centering all the time,no time to investigate, after the main I found out that one of the screws for the Ackerman link was backing out,it made a 1/8 of an inch groove in the top cover.Kudos to Hitec high voltage.Off the pace in buggy,finished 4th overall.as for the t-shirt,yes it is way too small,it was just to show me their work,I still put it on for Neil and John.He,I am no ballerina!Neal will post a picture of round one where I got tq an a third. The final t-shirts will be black with full colors logos,my name on the back and on the sleeves with my number. Cost is $30.

A bit more hardware for Clockwork Engines and Clocked Werks Fuel., TQ and third place. I had a flip just outside the countin loop and i do believe i missed that lap. I took an early lead and my pit-man was adamant that i did not get passed, i tought so also as i was the only one pitting at 10 minutes, the second place was pitting at 6 minutes, our track is hard on fuel,the lap times show one verry long lap, i did about 3 mistakes in 30 minutes but it was decided to leave as the computer said. Sometimes the roles are reversed i just accept that. Nedless to say,it was a great main event and we had a ball! :D

Backplate modding
 

Hey Neal,

I just saw the modded backplate EB did with the new OS engines (in the OS thread). Have you tried anything like this on the Werks engines?

:tire:

I have played with the backplates some...but Ed's new technique is something new he has come up with and I have not tested..........

Well get to testing:D

Neal YGPM.

Thanks!

Second race tomorrow with the B5 Pro! I also installed my new higher compression head button.

I ran it around the baseball diamond today for a few tanks, and it seems to have a little more power. I'm still battling the two stage idle, but honestly it still runs well that way.

I have a question. When the idle kind of rises and falls, whats that usually mean?

Please give me a call when you get the chance...

Will do Neal-

ran it today at the track practice and a qualifier. Got TQ for that round, and then the clouds decided to take a major dump on us and my gear got soaked. All is ok though.

So today was a charity event race and we had a really crappy turn out, only 20 people...So, it was dicided that buggy's and truggy's would run together..The first qualifier I take 3rd, the 2nd qualifier I take 1st and started out the A-Main in 1st.. I crash right away putting me back to last:flaming: but I do manage to work my way back up into the front battling it out for 1st..I take 1st briefly then flame out...I get restarted then my rear diff takes a dump leaving me with front wheel drive only for the last two laps..I end up in 4th! Very interesting day!

I thought id share a little vid..It starts off with a couple of practice laps right before the A-Main starts, the it goes to the actual race! Im the blue w/orange truggy starting out in 1st...

+ YouTube Video

nice video it's been so long sinse I had the chance to run something I forgot what they sounded like.
