Did some racing today and me and a buddy that has a 2200kv MMM system in a RC8T. Racing down the straightaway we are the same speed, only difference is the insane torque of the MMM.

First time on the track today with my new B5 and D8t.
I raced at Stateline Rc, took the Tq and win in truggy.

The engine ran great all day.

Congrats! What engine were you using before and how do you feel the B5 compared?

Ron,
I can not compare for truggy as this is my first truggy.

Last season in buggy I ran a Vspec then switched to the B5.
I ran the 2035 on both engines in buggy, the b5 had more power through out the entire rpm range and got better economy.

In a sense helps do it for you. The 2057 does get better mileage, but a lot of it also it is that is is smoother on the bottom making it more forgiving to throttle burst's, keeping wheel spin down making for better runtime and less wasted fuel and traction.

But Still I will switch pipes depending what I want, and the conditions. I can not say that the 2013 or 2057 is better than the other. They are both great pipes and they completly transform the power band of the WERKS engines, so you can pick the feel you want which is a very nice option.
ok thanks. im going to get the 2013 with it. ive been racing some electric races this winter and ive noticed it has really improved my throttle control with nitro. i roll into the throttle now rather than blip it.

so I had a runaway with my b5.. thankfully I had about 10 tanks on it and it didnt pop.. but it sure did make me soil myself... it was wailing at full rpms for about 10 secs.. but I will say this thing held up and still has pinch in the sleeve.. but I def accelerated the breakin process and hopefully i didnt accelerate its wear life

Quick update from the JBRL race in SoCal now that quals are done. Kortz with a box stock B5 is sitting in the 4th spot right behind Truhe. All the big names are there so this is going to be a tough one tomorrow!

i think the race is done... with Cody King taking the win... he won with a 1 pit stop strategy... if Kortz had done that he would of won himself.. he had the lead.. but after his pit stop at 7:30... it was a wrap

Went to the medina season opener with over 100 entries for the first outdoor race of the season made for a great time. Got the TQ and win in pro buggy after finally being able to turn some needles!!! Motor ran awesome and sounded even better with the 2013 combo.
Had it going about 210 and pitted at 10 minutes due to loosing track of time.lol
Sucks about Kortz the thing that sucks is jeremy will be able to run his engine again and I doubt cody can! Lol
