Ok guys, I have raced my first race with my new B5 in a Mugen MBX6T, all I can say is this motor has major speed, so much that I will need to reduce my EPA on my throttle to slow it up a bit, this motor has tremendous power, I did have my needles a too lean causing a high idle, my air gap I believe may have been closed too much or not open far enough, I have about a dime size gap and the idle is perfect, no flame outs during racing, if I had to post a negative it would be that I got 9 1/2 minutes run time, this is still a new motor and a bit fat, so maybe i will be able to lean it out a little down the road and get the 11-12 minutes that some are reporting, I am using a 2013 and love this motor pipe combo, I am now a loyal werks motor user and no werks do not sponsor or pay me for my feedback as a matter of fact I am a rookie, but I know I will be beating those guys with the 400 and 500 motors you can take that to the bank.

But the one thing that matters most to me is customer service, and I have not seen the greatest customer service since I have entered the RC scene, but you cannot ask for better support than what Ron provides from Werks on this forum, problems are addressed quickly and solid advice to problems provided even though many variables may exist for everyone using these motors, I will be purchasing a new buggy and guess what is going in it? You got it Werks B6 Pro.
