Sure, as mentioned the B5 is a general purpose engine as has been proven over the last 6+ months it just works and it works well in both buggy and truggy! The B6 is specifically designed to provide a power-band best suited to buggy use. So the difference between the two:
Bottom end: B5 aggressive, B6 smooth
Mid range: B5 aggressive, B6 deceptively strong (read really smooth)
Top end: B5 strong, B6 equally strong
Run time: B6 + 1 - 1 /2 mintues
As mentioned the B5 is in my opinion the best all around performing engine available at the price or even for say + $100. It works well in buggy, it works well in truggy. It does not cost a lot and it is a perfect engine to have for most track conditions and is the choice if you are running truggy.
The B6 we have simply refined the power band so that it is more suitable for buggy's. It's smoother = less wheel spin and making it easier for the driver to put the power down efficiently this equals efficiency meaning more run time. So again it really is designed as a buggy racing engine and I think looking at what is on the market at this time it will prove to be one of the best! Hope this helps a bit!
