We had not one single engine problem, not one single flame out, nothing (not even a rod change just to be safe!) our engine was perfect the entire event.

Just something to think about, instead of blindly repeating things that others say and/or believe try getting involved in racing at a higher level so that you can find out what is actually going on out there first hand instead of being the mouth piece for others.
Very well put Ron !

Ron-There are plenty of us sitting quietly that plan to get a Werks.( Im getting a clocked one). You cant take a few spazzes as the majority. I saw something about driving Lexus cars on the previous page and they were swiftly added to my ignore list on my user control panel.

It doesn't surprise me that there were more problems with OS engines at the race than your single werks engine that you had at the event. With 21% of the engines racing being OS, I would say there is a lot more chance of an issue than having only one werks engine there. I mean come on, what is more likely to have an issue, one engine or 21% of the field? Stop trying to sugar coat your products. If you're going to get into stories like this, at least tell the whole truth. Yeah, you did well with your one engine at the worlds. No one can say otherwise, but if we're going to compare, we need to be fair about it. Lets see there was an OS in the final and a Werks in the final. Why don't we use those two to compare? Hara's OS seemed to run pretty well, getting him a second place finish, only 1.9 seconds back from the leader.

Seems like OS must be doing something right... 21% of all engines used at the worlds were OS.

I really figured you had more sense then this my friend.... Allspeed and Justleanit have been bad mouthing the Werk's engines every chance they get.... pages upon pages of BS has been posted in my thread by these guys.......... Ron finally had enough and came here and defended his engines, but only after being repeatedly antagonized........Now your going to come here and get all butt hurt by Ron responding to these guys !........Ron's not the one bashing on OS engines, he didn't start this, he instigated none of this.........You guys are the ones bashing on the Werk's engines first, so don't cry like a baby when Ron finally has enough and retaliates...

I am unbiased when it comes to engines, but honestly you OS guys are taking this way too far....We all know you love OS engines, but that doesn't give you the right to come here and bash on every other manufacturers products....I don't see Ron bashing on OS engines in any other threads other then this one which he has been thoroghly antagonized to do so...I expect this type of childish response from Justleanit or Allspeed, but I thought you were more mature then that Coby ...look at the big picture as to why Ron made the post he did before you start jumping down the guys throat... IMHO Ron has every right to speak up...

21% of all the engines at the Worlds were OS..yet that single Werk's beat every one of them but one....so obviously Werk's is doing something right !

I think its weird that XRAY has 1% of engines listed. When the hell did XRAY start making engines?

I just don't think it is very professional for a company owner to slander another brand to promote his own products. Yeah he's been coerced to do so by some childish comments, however is it better to respond with more bashing and hate, or be the bigger man and move on?? I can't even believe I have to say this for people to see it. Promote your products all you like Ron, but don't bash others in the process. That's what you have fans for. Let them do the bashing if need be, but to me it is very unprofessional for you to bash another company to promote/defend your products. That's all I'm saying. Take my comment how you like, but that was my intention.

And besides was what I posted not true??? Which is more likely to have an issue? One engine or almost 1/4 of the field?

Ron is in the middle of a 19 hour flight from Thailand...he just finished the Worlds race... I am sure he's dead tired and going on next to no sleep.... So cut the guy some slack........ The Werk's Team just did a kickass job at the Worlds and I am sure the last thing Ron wants to see is a bunch of morons bashing on his product.....

Coby you should be smarter then this... ! Do you really want to join the Justleanit and Allspeed Club ? Do you really want to be associated with their behavior ? You guys are doing nothing but turning people off of OS engines by acting this way, and destroying any credability you may have ever had on these forums... Coby even locals who race with you have been commenting on how your behavior is turning them off OS engines...We get it dude, you love OS engines, you don't need to stoop to the Alspeed,Justleanit level to show your support..OS doesn't care, nor does the rest of these forums...As I say you should be smarter then this !

If you are as good as you seem to be insinuating you could have tried to even qualify to be selected for the US worlds team (which you could have done at last years nats by finishing in the top 30), then you could have come here and tried to outqualify 150 or so of the world best drivers to even make it into the 1/2 semis. Then you too could have raced against 12 of the worlds fastest driver in that 1/2 hour semi and finished in the top 5 to even "EARN THE RIGHT" to run in the finals for 1 hour with the 12 best drivers in the world. If you have ever done that then feel free to make jokes about it, otherwise you might just want to be quite because you have no idea of the amount of work, effort, dedication and commitment that it takes to accomplish that and anyone even the guy that finished dead last in the finals deserves respect for even making it there!
Very well stated Ron. I only ran my B5 for 2 races since i got it at the end of the season. Already, just from 2 races a shift is occuring locally to the B5. I help alot of the locals with tuning and rebuilds and my Clockworks B5 has gained much respect. What a solid engine. You have out v spec'd the v spec, kudos! It performs great in stock form and is a very flexible platform for us that like modded engines. It's a brainless package; B5/2013, Werks#5 or #6 plug tune and race. It idles all day and that pipe sure does bark a note.

i've mentioned this in the past also... it is what it is...


and for the record guys... Werks, OS, Nova, Orion, Did not win the worlds or make it to the finals... maturity and very skilled driving made it to the finals and Cody King won.. Cody King is the man... he was spot on with his decisions on when to check up and let it flow... get over it.... time to move on from this nonsence..

and i luv Lexus 460 over Camry...

I'm bashing no one here. In fact I admitted that Werks did very well at the worlds. I'd just rather see Ron keep to his products instead of bringing OS into the mess. He even said he wasn't going to get into it, and then did so anyway. That is something us fans are allowed to do, but in my opinion it is unprofessional for the manufacturer to bash another company.

I don't want to come across as bashing Ron or his product, just stating my opinion on the way he handled the situation. I understand that he was put in this position by constant bashing, but you have to be able to see where I'm coming from here. Like I said, I'm not bashing anything, just stating my opinion on the way the situation was handles, and adding some information about engines being used at the worlds. After this is a thread about engines, so why not have some engine info in here.

I hope Ron can see my point here. I'm not trying to bash him, only the way he handled the situation.

I did not bash his products, so don't say I did. In fact if anything I said they did a good job at the worlds. I completely agree with his first post on the matter, I just don't think the second one was needed. He is very right about how hard it is to finish as well as they did at the worlds and they deserve congratulations for that!


By the way I like OS!

Agreed! The man behind the wheel is what wins the race! OS engine or Werks, it is the talent of the driver that makes the difference. I think a big congratulations are in order for Cody King and all of the other guys that even made it to the final! Congrats guys!

You have no room to tell anyone how to act on the web sissy. You think your funny by posting "OS is the best" or "I like OS" in threads where people don't even ask about an OS. My guess is your 40 years old.. .been doing this for 10 years and still running at a sportsman pace

Do RC Tech a favor and find yourself an OS thread troll!!!!
