Thought I would give a little update from this weekends races.
We had our first Points race of the season this past weekend. There were 84 buggy entries between 3 classes; Expert,Intermediate and Sportsman. I ran with the Intermediate crowd. We had 3 rounds of 7 minute qualifiers with one main. After each qualifier I still had about 1/3 a tank left of fuel.
I TQ'd my class and took home the win in the main. I ran a Clocked Nova Plus 4 BTTS in my Kyosho and it was flawless all day. Grip levels really came up for the main and guys running stock engines had a hard time clearing a double to table-top to quad due to lack of grunt. Not a problem for the Clocked engines!
Really loving this engine. Even with a soft clutch set up and less than a gallon through the engine, I had all the performance I needed. I can't wait until this engine is fully broken in
This has to be Neal and John's best dedicated buggy engine IMO.
Thanks for the support Neal. Looking forward to the next event!

I finally burned some nitro! Lol. Put some fuel thru my C6 USA. That is one stout hoss. I really like the C6/B10 engines. Too bad there's not a reliable source for RB in North America. You did a great job on this engine Neal. It really likes the 9886/41021 combo. Also put a werks #6 plug in it. Almost time to order Bonito. I like engines!

Jim Hottinger at Fusion took over as the USA RB distributor. His inventory looks pretty decent but I did not search for what you wanted. Here is a Linky dink;

Ok I keep getting p/m's and youtube messages saying that its not possible for my needle settings to be out from flush on my clocked novarossi P5XLT so I thought it best to just shoot some video of the needle settings and then some footage of the power it is providing so here it is guys.

You can hear it's still running rich, both LSN & HSN for sure.
Nice engine, should be pretty fast when race tuned..

I have no doubt Jim is trying to get them in. Crappy we can't get them as we still have some guys waiting. I would think they are possibly waiting to release a Fire12....... Gotta wait it out,

Not knocking Jim. RB has been hit and miss at best for a number of years here in the US. I don't understand it. Very high quality engines. I can't even find a p/s/r for a C6. So it goes much farther than just the F11.

Where did u run Rob? Isnt it cold as shit there? Inside @ Richfield with the USA
Fear Farm started their Thursday night series race tonight. I took 2nd with my Clocked B5. It was a 10 min main, i went no pit. But i laid off a lot. I think it was a worth while trade though.
I experimented with a 7mm venturi and a gas cooler tonight. I wasnt liking the change, couldnt do any timed tanks. Plus, stuff was off and flame outs started. I ran out of time, so took cooler off and went back to my 6mm. Bill Mason helped me sort the details to get it running crispy for the racing

Hello all, I thought I would give a brief report from the Midwest Nitro Champs this last week in Ohio.
After a almost 5 months break from racing I was well over due for some nitro! Needless to say the trigger finger was a bit rusty and the turnout for Pro class was full of talented drivers, so my finishes weren't exactly what I would have wanted. But spending a weekend racing with friends was a great time and Neal's P5's were absolutely a joy to drive.
I had an opportunity to do a little pipe and header testing before leaving and settled on Nova 9886's for both mills with a Nova 41021 short smooth on the buggy and a Nova 41019 short square on the truggy. Both motors had maybe a little over a half gallon going into practice on Thursday, so they are still seating in and certainly have not yet reach peak performance. That being said the power and fuel economy was impressive on both mills. The power delivery felt very smooth and controlled while at the same time very strong all the way through the low and mid range, enough so in fact the consistently pull other cars on the somewhat short straight away. Due to the size of the track I was not able to see the top end, though it was very apparent every time I was jumping on the breaks that there was a great deal of revs left to go in the upper range. The fuel economy was very good and I was coming off of 10 minute practice runs with 40-50cc's left in the tank. Indoors on smaller foot print tracks usually yield higher run times of course but this is still very good mileage for a modded motor.
I am very excited to get this season started and get these mills on a big outdoor track were they can really breathe!
