thanks ron. i will give you some feedback on the pro mod comparison. i am going to run the one i have side by side with the B5 so i should get a very good comparison.

glad to hear about the 14t bell working in my MBX6T. actually that is what i have mounted already and was hoping it would handle it!

i am assuming the OS P3 would be a good choice of plug? seems like it from this forum.

this is a great forum for this motor. i race around the midwest and there is not anyone i know of running the B5 in my area. that will soon change once they see it ripping around the track!

thanks to all and ron for the info.

I have been having really good luck with OD 97T plug. I want to try the Werks #5 plug though.

Your on the west end of the Midwest!

Farthest I go is Newberry's (closed down now) and Thunder Roads.

Wade Aronson is an IA guy that ran at Newberry's. He was the one that actually got my attention on the B5. Very fast guy too!

Default B5

Just got the B5 a last night and stuck it in my D8T. I was wondering if what most of you truggy guys are running for clutches.. I haven't tried a 4 shoe yet and was thinking might as well get a new clutch set up for the new engine..

Great looking engine by the way.. looking forward to breaking it in!

I think Werks (Ron) said they have a new clutch system coming out in 2 weeks.

So far i've tried the stock D8T clutch, the Werks adjustable clutch and now i'm using the Ascendancy clutch and I like it the best so far. Shoes last a long time and easy to work on.

I have a big race this weekend and this will be my first outing with a nitro truggy and wanted to know what plug I should run in the b5. It will be in the high 80's with high humidity.

Max life shoes and 1.0 springs for me in my RC8T - great snap and great wear - I have no complaints.
