sent you an e-mail ron...

Thanks,

Any body know what size set screw is in the werks 2013 pipe? The one that tightens down on the pipe mount, I tryed 3mm but it's way to small. The reaason I ask is because I forgot to lock-tite it and was braking in the B5 and the set screw vibrated out

just checked my 2057, it uses a 2mm hex to tighten and it's a 4mm set screw

4mm...if you don't have any use a short chassis screw.

had said to myself, after totally breaking down my B5 powered 8T-2.0 in prep for the upcoming race season after motorama, that i would just let the ARO'd truggy just sit....well, cant help myself...cranked it up and "raced" it up and down the block 5 or 6 times................i am still so impressed by how the B5 performs...........it is absolutely ballistic from bottom to top......starved it to a stop, ARO'd it after a cooldown at BDC........ready to kill em this summer........................THANKS, RON.

Did any of you use the new B7?

I am the proud parent of 2 new 2010 B5's! Looking forward to breaking it in during normal weather (50+ degrees). Last time it was barely above freezing!

Thanks Ron!!

Any other brands of inserts that would fit. Thanks for the reply. Not sure if I should go to 6 or 5. I dont want to have problems tuning it.

Does werks make a 5 or 6 venturi insert

Well I ant gonna lie to ya bro but I ran my mill with the 7mm insert from werks(came with mill) at say 80% tune on the street(still waitin for outside season) then the GRP 6mm insert. I can see the difference between the two at this tune, only to get better with the race tune natrually. I'm not gonna pull your chain, I have been doing the nitro scene for a whille so I can tell when a mill is in the sweet spot without a track( I tune for performance not longevity) and the GRP 6mm insert has a good gain on time over the 7mm insert. Now take to mind, I am running a 2053 pipe( known for milage, not performance) This year I am after LONG runtimes not tire shredding performance(been down that road, cost too much, that dont win races) also with this type of bottom end, thinking of going the steel flywheel route on a eight 2.o RR. The fuel savings is awesome, but if you are willing to go with the less bottom end you will not be dissapointed. I look at it like this, hey dang you cleared that tripple NICE but where you at the pits oh, well im still on the track makin laps feel me? I have no reason to believe that a Odonells 97T plug Odonells 30% race fuel and 2053 pipe coupled with a GRP 6mm insert with carefull driving should give me 12 minutes of tank time

Just got back from the PNB and the motor ran awsome i was getting around 12 minutes a tank with the 2057 pipe awsome combo it had plenty of bottum for me and awsome mid and top end i pulled almost ever engine down the straight i ran 30% fuel it is a great motor i would recommend it to everyone.

12 min in a buggy or truggy??

In a buggy, I might be wrong but time shall tell. You act like thats an impossible task, you never heard or scene this before from any manufactorer?

WOOPS my bad sorry dont pay any attention, thought you were talikng about my post sorry

Buggy and that was in practice i went 10 minutes with out a pit stop.

no no i didnt mean it like it was impossible or that you were wrong, ive been reading that this engine is getting great runtime 10 and 11 min but to see 12 min popping up, thats crazy! this engine will def be my next pick for sure!

Hey dishoap, the only reducer sizes that I would recommend that you use would be the 6.5mm and the 6.0mm (stock is 7mm). Going any smaller than this just makes it a little "critical" shall we say on tune. The smaller the reducer seemingly the smaller the margin for error (between too rich and too lean) seems to be with tuning. We've ran down to 5.5mm and it can be done but as mentioned you need to be up on the tune, anything smaller than this (such as the 5mm that you were asking about) I would not even bother with.

Regarding availability of our reducers, A-main has our 6.0 and 6.5 for the new 2010 carb. Give them a few days to get them up on the site and you should be good to go.

Regards,

Ron
