Hello Michael,

Glad to see another Nederlander coming on board! Let me know what your thoughts are once you get some fuel through the engine!

Groeten,

Ron

Good news Dennis, thanks for posting your experiences at the race! Also glad that your still loving the B5, you're getting some excellent run times, what set up are you running for clutch, pipe, plug and fuel?

Regards,

Ron

Hey quad, you don't haveto run the 97 dollar pipe... i run a 2050 and some folks run the AE/Thundertiger 2035 with good results. But if it's buggy and you wanna buy that 97 dollar pipe, go 2057. Truggy 2013 ...at least that's what i hear

Yes DPowers was one of few in buggy that could go the whole ten minute qualifiers without fuel. It's not because he has his epa on 80% or he is a smooth driver because he is not. It's all motor getting twelve minutes on a tank I was pitting him. The b5 is awesome.

Ya, I got over 6 gallons on each of my B5's that I have been racing since October, And I have NEVER been pulled by anyone down the straight in buggy or truggy! Up against a bunch on ninjas , speeds and NOva plus 4's. And never one flameout! I love it. I was racing saturday and I put my nephews JX ninja in my buggy to tune it for him and LEt me just say.....Its got nothing on the B5, And I ran em back to back in my buggy. Jst made me realize Yet again how sweet the B5's are And been running the 2057 in my buggy for a month instead of the 2013 and man what a great buggy pipe for this engine... THe top end is insane!! JUst keeps pullin' on the straights. And runtimes are for me 11 minutes pretty much everytime. On a loose track

Default What fuel are you using ?

I know most of you are going to say werks. But for the ones not using werks what are you using. Ive used Odonnells and now trying some Sidewinder. Fuels are pretty limited in my area. LHS sales Odonnells and the track sales Sidewinder and other varitys, never the same for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I know you can buy cases from a-main but after shipping tax and hazmat no difference than if I buy it at LHS

I got to put the B5 on the track yesterday and all I can say is that this motor is the best I have ever ran. Loads of bottom end power and never stops pulling at the top. Still breaking it in, so not at the run time I think I will get once I can get more tanks through it. Can't wait until this weekend to run it again!

Running the B5 with the Werks 2013 pipe and Byron 30% since I can't get Werks fuel and Amain is still out of stock.

Yep, went out last week. Think it should be there on Tuesday or possibly Wednesday at the latest.
