Stooping to what level ron? I was being serious man.. Good thing you aren't being defensive huh? .
As for my PR. I baught it right from ascendancy.. the place who sells them?? And that's not true what you said anyway. You were going to drop ship me a motor through one of your team guys. But I guess you forgot?? Now let's start stooping.. ..your a goof ball man. I haven't said one dang thing bad about you or your product...all you do in every post is talk about others product then say. " its just a friendly convo" to keep it smoothed out.

As you should allways do. The unfortunate thing is that if all of us were in person we would have no problems having these type of conversations. It's just too easy to take peoples comments incorrectly on the Internet. In any case I'm off to Applebees for a burger...

Wow, same old argument, day after day.
Someone mentioned something earlier, but I'll reiterate. The reason Alpha and Werks get some much attention (Good and bad), is because obviously, those 2 are the best engines you can buy for your money.
I have never ran an Alpha, I know a few who do/have and hear no real complaints. I can however attest to how great the B5 is. I just retired mine after winning a local club series with right at 8 gallons on it. I sold it to Guss2009 on rctech, he got it, and loves it. He told me he already put another gallon through it already. I asked him if he don't mind running it until it quits just to see how many gallons it gets.
I never had any problems with that engine. A couple of flame outs during the series, only due to a huge cold front moving through, and drastic humidity changes affected the tune. Worked the needles a little, problem solved, race won ;D
These threads do get old though, again it's the same old argument with normally the same old people. It's really simple, you run what you like and have success with, and I run what I like and have success with. Why would I try and convince you to change when your engine/buggy/tires/pipe/servos/etc do just fine for you??!!!
Nick, you've been a member here for what 5 years? You should have known that a simple search for this topic could have yielded you 10 pages of threads with this same exact argument. I hope you have good luck with whichever engines you buy. I'm certain that if you choose 1 of the several that has been mentioned in this thread, break it in properly, and keep it tuned and maintained correctly, you should have no problems getting 8+ gallons of life from either one.

Yes i bought Boomgagem B5 engine for a friend to run it in the winter, that way he can hold on to his brand new B5 for next season. I can say after all the gallon Boomgagem put in it and my friend is about to finish a gallon on it... The engine is running great. He's gonna run it till the engine needs a pinch or just starts giving him problem. He like the B5 engine and this guy has Nova, Speeds and ninja so he's not new to this. He likes trying out engines. He doesnt believe That b5 engine i got him has 7/8 gallon in it. I dont know if you send it out to get a pinch but it still has alot of power.

Yeah I sure did. Ask anyone I race with, they didn't believe it either. I've raced about 10 or so club races, several practice days at my track, and the 2010 AMS race with it. I probably sold about 4 B5's that last series race. No one could believe that it had that much fuel on it, and was dominating the main.
My cousin is running one now, got right at 4 gallons on it, and I can tell it's in the sweet spot now. Maybe we can get 10+ out of it.
Yeah the only way you can tell is the head, it's kinda faded, lol.
EDIT: Search for my user name in the Werks B5 thread. I was referring to the same B5 Guss now has back in April. I know that's not proof, but it's a pretty decent timeline.

So I would hope people understand some day that you can not expect people to have the knowledge you may have. And thats why we ask the questions. Search? I did. But for what? nitro engine? LOL Thats like searching for "Diamond" on a jewellery site. NO? Oh or, ".21 nitro engine?" = "pretty diamond" LOL
So again I thank you your time and help, and your suggestions.

Best = Value
But again guys, i do have to say. My question did say "BEST" but i meant it as equaling in value. VALUE is the key. If every engine went 8+ gallons, then its a no brainer. Get the cheapest one. But that is not the case. So please lets not down play it. Value means, If I spent $800 on werks (remember 3 mills here), or $600 on Go's. And both set of engines give me 8+ gallons and zero issues. Then Go engines have the higher value. But if either side did not hold true (again this is where the real question comes into play, i need to know whats the good, the bad, and the ugly). Then of course the value is lowered on either side.
Even if i posted, "Hey whats the best between 2 and 3 bills?" and someone would reply with "will if you would spent 3.5 or 4 bills" to get a better value for "X" reasons. Then I would have to go back to the drawing board. As i don't agree with Werks number math. He had the best points leading to value. No its not just as simple as "Just buy, and take care of, you will be happy, duh". Again, if i take the numbers from before. I could save $200!!!! Thats big, thats a Netbook for my kids! Or 3 hours at the spa for my wife! Oh, i forgot i live in SoCal. On 30mins at the Spa for the wife, or a really nice pony ride for the kids.
I hope my point came off clear. Thanks,
Nick

ok here the deal i have ran os nova off brand this and that and werks at the end of the day if i did not have a b6 and 2013 in my buggy i look like a idiot driving buggy.
hands down the smooth motor out right now is a b6 and 2013 but it still had the punch you need to make those stupid low run up jumps and pulls all the way to the top like no other.
the b5 and 2013 in truggy is the perfect combo it runs great it smooth and yet it still runs with your speed and nova this and go that and alaph motor
i have had one issue with my motor yay i riped a carb boot and got dirt in the slide and locked it up i change the carb out and still runs like a champ.
