Ignore it and it will go away....

This has been one of the best threads on this forum. It has generated a great interest in the Werks products and provides great information. Lets keep it that way.

you're not acting like an rc soilder.. more like rc semen..

There's where it all comes back to me being amazing. As a pit man that is. RB FIVE ran a good race and we had an excellent pit strategy. He got some breaks with other people's issues, but he also did something for that win. Same thing can be said about the Pro buggy race. Mo ran a great race, had a good pit strategy and caught somewhat of a break with Anthony's flame out. But did he deserve the win any less? Nope. Not one bit. It's all part of racing, and the only thing that really matters is who crosses the line first.

I think what this all really comes down to is RB FIVE didn't have luck with his B5 and felt insulted by one of Ron's posts. That is all that needs to be said. This all started as a simple comparison between two engines and got blown all out of proportion. So let's race!

yeah and it's childish which wouldn't surprise me after seeing his attitude after his win. I mean we all know how big of a prick Ron is to everyone??? i mean come on...

now back to the B5 and away from the Great Lakes pro series race... It's in the past and these engines are still selling...

and yet 2 more days for the big news guys... enjoy

Racing is racing, people win for a multitude of reasons but one thing is always true, you have to finish to win. So if someone wins a race because some one else flamed out, their tire fell off, their tank sprung a leak or Zeus decided to send down a lighting bolt from heaven and blow it up it does not matter. What matters is that first person that gets to the finish line, the rest is just hearsay. I was at the Worlds in Indonesia in 06, Mark was definitely not the fastest, as a matter of fact I think that Scott should have won, but he didn't, then Kortz could have won it but he caught a rut and rolled down the back side of a jump and landed on his lid. Pavidas then took home the win, does the fact that he was not the fastest or that others had issues take away from the fact that he won, no it does not. He was the world champion because he held it together, he made the right decisions and ran the right strategy to do one thing and one thing only, get him to the finish line first (just like you mentioned) and as such he deserved the title. The people that sit around and speculate and comment on he should have done this and that would not have happened if this happened are doing nothing more than blowing hot air.

And in regards to RB Five, him being insulted by one of my posts frankly I think has nothing to do with it. He has been starting stuff for a long time, his posts are continuously trying to stir stuff and it seems that he enjoys trying to get a rise out of people so in my opinion this did not start out as a simple comparison between engines and escalate. It started off with some one that does not know how to communicate properly and enjoys continually creating drama simply going to far and some one (namely me) getting sick of it and calling him on it.

In any case I've said what I had to say, this has been a great thread in the past and lets try to get it back on track!


Any just in case you thought that I might have forgotten......... 1 day! ;-P

Nevermind

I said you ran a great race didn't I? You ran a great race, and deserved the win.

YA please stay off RBFIVE we are all tired of your comments. There are so many of us with B5's that get 10 minute pits and over 7 gallons of life, and know the B5 makes killer bottom all the way to the top. You are 1 guy and if you had crappy runtime,no bottom and the engine wore out in a gallon, SURPRISE. You screwed something up, either you cant tune, sucked dirt or something. I am going to say Your bad opinion is no match for thousands of others positive opinion. Do the math..............

I just ordered a B5 the other day. It's going to be my first race engine, and I have high hopes for it.

But this bantering back and forth is really getting crazy. Please just stop responding to RB five or whatever his name is. This thread is the reason I went with the B5. All of the knowledge in here is great, and it's awsome that you are so active on the forum, and there is almsot an entire community devoted to it.

Can't you guys just hug and make up, or one of you please just stop being drawn in by the other. When my 4 year old gets into a fight with another 4 year old I make him stop talking to the other kid, and take a timeout.

So both of you guys go set in a chair for 5 minutes and calm down, and then give each other a hug and go play transformers. It works everytime.

Lol, no worries I'm done. Lets get this thread back on track by me thanking you for picking up one of our engines! I'm sure that you will be happy with it. You mentioned that this is your first racing engine, have you taken a look at my break in guide that I wrote on here? Have any questions about anything in it?

Regards,

Ron

Thanks for the info

I actually printed off your break in and tunning guide and plan to use them whenever I break it in tommorow if it gets here. The most I've got out of an engine so far is 2 1/2 gallons. It was my fault though on both engines. The first one was a complete tunning problem, and the second one was used and ready to go anyway.

Not to put any pressure on you, but if I don't get at least 5 out of the B5 I'm going to cut my nitro career short, and retire from rc's. It's killing my wallet and the wife is going to kill me if I have to buy another engine in a month or so.

Any advice you can give on engine maintance and upkeep would be great. I really want to get the most out of this engine.

And do you know of any threads that have some clutch or gearing setups to use with the B5?
By the way, I'll be running it in an RC8.

Change Air Filters religiously and when in doubt... Its better to be slightly rich than slightly lean!

Underway is right, one of the biggest things is take care of the air filter, run a little rich to be safe and as far as clutch is concerned the B5 has a lot of torque so it's pretty easy on clutch choices. I'd start with aluminum shoes and 1.0 springs. That should get you in the ballpark and then I would just fine tune the clutch set up to your driving style/track condition.

Ron

JUst break it in correctly,Make sure your tune is correct,(watch your temps) And like underway said always check,clean/replace air filter frequently and you will have no problem getting over 5 gallons out of a B5.

I have ran the life out of 3 B5s since Last October and they all lasted over 7 gallons. And never had flame out or engine issue

Its so nice to be able to race and never worry about your engine letting you down. They have been very trouble free and reliable for me with all the power I could want,even in my truggy they absolutly rip!!
