lol, thanks I was pretty impressed when I opened it up, especially at how perfect the piston grooves were, and the shape of the crank. With the RPM that this engine cranks out, it's hard to believe it could look so healthy.

Well I went to the track today and ran some more. I was the only one there and was able to drive quite a bit. I just can't stop loving this Clockwork B5! I can certainly say that I can pit at 10 minutes during a race, under any condition at our track.The last time I tried was the race where I ran the 10 minute B main with no pitstops, and still had 50ml of fuel left in my tank ( I run a metered Jammin X2 tank in my RC8T ), and I also only pitted once during the 20 minute A-Main.

Today, I timed some more tanks, and I was getting anywhere from 12:30 to 12:46 per tank, running it dry..a little less than the last time ( I'm guessing atmosphere-related ), but still quite respectable for a .21 that makes .28 power..this thing just balloons the front wheel all the way down the straight, and has such a smooth powerband..I can't ask for better!!! This is the perfect truggy engine IMO..it has to be felt to be believed.

I will keep buying these engines until something better comes along ( it would have to be something PRETTY special..)
