Like I said, may not apply to all, but just found 9% to run a little cleaner.
thanks i just read that a lot of good info. how is this motor with a 2058 pipe in a losi 8 t kit?

I'm the wrong person to ask for an opinion on my own product lol! There are however quite a few comments from users in the last 549 pages that should give you an idea of what to expect

Ok, it has plenty of power to push the 8T around. That a really light, really efficient truggy which a B6 can push around without any problems. The B5 will be awesome in it!

i still preheat the block on my B5's even after being fully broken in(for just a bit with the piston at BDC). makes life easier on all the moving components and takes no time....easier on the box/wheel as well). anyway....i've got many gallons thru all my B5's(in an 8T 2.0, as well) with no issues. the B5 is a fantastic engine.......just remember to drag the piston to BDC every time you stop the engine for awhile..........and, i use ARO when it sits, as well.......all good/cheap insurance..............try the DYNAMITE LIPO glow starter, as well........packs a punch to the plug.

I'm in need of a crank. Are the b5 and b6 cranks the same? I do not recall.

Thanks
