It was more like my JP3 is hidden in the shop somewhere and I wanted to run the engine, so I left the 9901/41019 manifold on it as it was there and easy........... By chance it happened to work quite well.........next will come the 9886...then if I can find it I will put my JP3 on it..........

Hi,

Im planning to buy a new engine, and since my GO GX-5R has been a bit of a pain in the butt lately, I have been looking at other alternatives.

Im planning on buying a stock engine from you guys, but I have limited experience breaking in nitro engines (2 engines). It has been a succes each time though, and i think breaking in a third would give me some valuable experience.

I have my eyes set on the Werks B2, as the track I will be running it at, is small and its a lot of stop and go, stop and go.

So I think a B2 with the 2058 pipe would be awesome around there.

The most importent thing for me is that the engine is easy to work with, and tune. Im looking for something that I know I can trust. Is the B2 such an engine or what would you guys at CRE recommend???

Cheers
Chris

I can't speak for Neal, John or Nick....but the P5 I bought from them has only had the needles touched 4 times all year and it has been a solid performer. (Granted, the weather has been pretty similar every time I've run it)

It's the driver that has been the limiting factor when it comes to perfomance. ;)

Though, that engine did help propel me to a 1st place finish at the Novarossi Challenge in the Intermediate Buggy class. :D

The time would have been good enough for I think 8th or 9th in the expert class.

Hey neal, good to see clockwork still going strong. Had to take a couple years off for work, family, and health reasons, but trying to come back now. Dusting off everything and doing rebuilds. The clocked jl fired right up with no issues. Running like the day i put it away.

A little Clocked Plus4BTT action......... this engine really impresses me....very zippy with a great top end....The modifications done dramatically increase the midrange and top end power without losing any bottom...we actually gained a little bottom...The runtimes are quite good as well..

Just wanted to say thank you to John and Neal at CRE. I transfered to a new squadron in May and havent raced since then. I fired up both my CRE Werks motors for the first time this weekend since then, and all I needed to do was adjust the tune an hour or two on each one. The B6 ran 12 minutes in my sons buggy and he finished second while I was running over 10 minutes with my B5 and won the North Carolina Summer Series. Even after sitting for 3 months, I forgot how easy it was to run these things. I miss running Nitro:cry:

If anyone is looking for more mileage try a 2058. I ran it for a full race day and I was pleased. Don't care for tone compaired to a 9886 but it's a good option. Motor was a cre P5

A little Proto 7 action that was sent in..

Awesome thats my truggy Bill was driving. Bill really loved it. I love driving that thing. i ended up TQ and won the intermediate this past weekend with it. I have only been racing little over 4 months. THE PROTO 7 IS AWESOME

Not sure if this has been asked before, but is it possible to mod a stock pinched p/s or only new ones ?

Thanks in advance,

I'm pretty sure you can mod any p/s, used or new

Thanks Neil...... Is there any advantages or disadvantages ????

I much prefer to do new engines.......... but from time to time I do a used engine when requested....

main issue is many times the used engines are not in nearly as good of shape as people think, and after mods the engine doesn't perform/behave as expected due to underlying issues that were there before the mods........

So in a perfect world (rod, crank, case, bearings, etc) modding a pinched p/s is possible...if you don't mind, can u pm a price to have some sort of idea.

Thanks !!
