Speak for yourself. Drive it like you stole it. That's what I always say.

I know know one believes it but Neal from Clockworks, myself and many others have seen Steve do it. That motor in BALISTIC. Neal does some great stuff.

I couldn't care less who believes it, I know from owning one that the Clocked B5 is something special, and until the 'non-believers' own one, or see one run, they're going to keep doubting it ( I would have too )..it's the nature of our hobby. All my mileage claims are in full on race conditions, and I won that race on what would have been a 15 minute tank. Neal does not make things up just to sell an engine, it's just bad-business doing things like that, and Neal knows it.

I believe what Neal says even though I haven't seen or ran one of his engines just because he is such a classy guy on the forums and in PM's. From what I've seen of his character, even under scrutiny, he's polite and honest. I BELIEVE!!

Thank you for the vote of confidence....

its not my stsyle to make up BS to sell engines...if i say something, I can back it up 100% or I wouldn't be saying it.........every person who has ever given one of my engines a chance will also say the same thing......I modify for power, some of my engines don't get the best mileage and I make no bones about saying so, however the mod B5 is an anomaly that can't quite be explained ! its wicked powerful, very smooth and gets great mileage..call it the $300.00 Speed Eater !

Talking Old topic, where do we stand now

Well, I thought I would bring this topic back from the dead.

a little less than 2 years, I was wondering if the new .21 engines are getting more consistant fuel mileage than the old .28 engines.

What are .21s getting for fuel mileage in todays racing form..

Also, how doe the power of a Nova Rossi Bonito compare to an older .28..

How is the fuel consumption of the Bonito as well.

What do you think?

my clocked Bonito tools the old 28's......can get upwards of 12 minutes per tank if conditions are right

Dang... Almost sounds like an onroad engine in the Losi. I see a little wheel spin there.

How many extra RPMs is this engine turning..

As Darth Vader would say.

Impressive....
