First of all thanks for all the help I'm wondering if you know of anybody here in phoenix az that carries your fuel.

Ron, any idea when HRP will be getting some more B5, new 2013, and new 2057??? The B5's have been running awesome in my area.

Best bet right now on fuel guys is going to be mail order through A-main. Was just looking at the pricing and it should work out to right about $30 per gallon delivered for 30% which ain't bad considering that shipping is included in that!

Hey lockmouth, we should be shipping some B5's and 2013's to HRP around the end of this week/begin of next. This would put it in stock there on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Hope this helps!

Regards,

Ron

Unless you are on the East coast, and then it works out to almost $40 per gallon . Those hazmat fees are killer.

HazMat was a flat $20 fee with UPS before (but I think it might be $25 now). Fuel can only be shipped via ground and I doubt it should cost more than $25 to ship a case anywhere in the US but it still adds up, you are right about that! But look at the bright side, the money that you are saving on your motors running a B5 you can spend getting the best performing racing fuel on the market! ;-)

It works out to be just under $35 a gallon to ship to the East Coast!

HazMat fees are $22.50 shipping is $28.78!

Thumbs up WERKS

Hey recently at Revalation we attended the JC Concepts race and a Team mate of mine from VP-Pro is running your motors Lance Heidman. He seems to never have motor issues. and is a great Rep for the products. My Dad has really been looking for a motor fuel combination and we want to know who do we talk to ?? He wants to start testing the latest of your motors for Buggy.

How is the fuel mileage ?? have a good day home room is almost over
see you at the track STAY FAST>>>Kaulin

Hey guys, just got the motor today. I notice there are no extra shims in the box, so i was wondering what the head is shimmed for? Thanks.

its shimmed for 30%, but it will be fine if you want to run a less % of nitro also..

They do not have any on order right now. Best bet if you want one is to give your sales guy there a call and ask him to pick it up.

Thanks, Lance is a good guy and I enjoy working with him. Since you run at the same track best bet on run time is to have Lance respond directly to your questions. Lance if you could.

Whats up Kaulin!!...Runtime With the B5 in a buggy running Werks 30% carbon clutches,1.0 springs 7mm restrictor and a 2057 pipe is different between Revelation, which is a really loose track thats bad on fuel mileage because of very low traction and a higher bit track with more traction. At revelation I pit at 9 minutes and can go 9m 45s consistantly ona tank. When the track is moist or on a different track with more traction I can get 10m 30s to 11 minutes every time. So it depends on the track conditions a lot. But most guys at rev as you know pit at 7 minutes becasue it is a bad mileage track so 9 minute pits are 2 minutes over what most other do out there. So in a nut shell mileage is great, and seems to be a lot better than most other engines out there right now..... And like you said I never have any issues. Its a super reliable mill that pretty much has got it all, Price, Power, Fuel mileage,easy tuning and they last a long time without the need for rod and bearing replacements... Hope to see you out at Thunder alley this saturday!!
