Okay... I have both engines. The older carb is composite and has a Werks logo....the newer carb is alloy and says "Werks" on the front! Hope this helps you!

sorry i didn't reveal this in the first two posts lol!

you can barely see the carb through the plastic but it has werks on the front of it. is this the new one?

yessir!

let me know how that LiFe battery works out for ya'!

so far so good on the batt. I wanted to run something other than nimh but didnt want to use a regulator. i hope it holds up to some abuse. lol

i've had good luck with lipo's and reg's but am curious about the runtime and longevity of the LiFe batts.

We are now annodizing the carb bodies a dark gray almost black color. The easiest way to tell the difference between the old carb and the new on is that the carb body is plastic on the old one and aluminum on the new one. If you have trouble telling the difference the new carb is also the one with the white insulation sleeve around the base as can clearly be seen in the picture.the old carb engines sold through a few months ago do the chance of anyone ordering an engine today and getting on is virtualy non-existent. Hope this helps!

oops lol...Sorry guys, Ya they are both black but he newer ones are all metal with the white insulator sleeve. not composite material. Its been a long day my brains overloaded!lol...

So like to give a shot out to Kortz for making the pro buggy main at silverstate running a stock B5 & werks fuel. He got taken out a couple of times so it was a tough race for him but ay least he was in it! Shits out to Chad Bradley also for taking 5th in Pro Truggy on Werks Race Blend fuel!

My Ron, what language you have LOL! See what happens when you post from a I-Phone or BlackBerry!

Yeah, I was watching on LiveRC and was wondering what happened to Kortz. What a tough woops section! Like you said, he made it to the big show without having to bump!

Shout out to. Sh*ts

Thanks for a good laugh I love the blackberry posts!!lol...For a minute I thought I was really out of the loop on the new slang!!! shits out... I was like wow never heard that one??lol...

Hi

Just got myself a new Werk B5 and was wondering how to fit it all together properly? I am new to Off road, as all the RB and Novarossi on road engines I have bought have been fully assembled.

Also I need now to break in the engine, is it ready for 30% fuel or shall I use 25% to break the engine in? What are the pros and cons of using each fuel to break in the engine.

Oh and I will be using a Hudy break in bench to break the engine in.

Thanks

I forgot to mention, what conrod will fit the Werks B5?

Is it necessary to change the conrod after breaking in?

I dont seem to see it on Amain or Werks website?

Thanks

No, it is not necessary to change the con rod after break in!
