I have no worries mate ! i just am not into buying my reviews... my work stands for itself....if i had to pay for every good review there would no validity in anything anyone said about my work..... I have dyno results, video's and dozens of positive reviews from paying customers...if that is not enough then there is nothing more I can offer...

Yea but you know a reliable engine when you come off a main race and the temp gun just says HOT! and it still runs next week. BTW i do know a guy who did this with his dynamite and it still runs. Not sure if a werks will do the same but it is impresive, not to mention just after break in ive seen these dynamites get stuck pinned until they die and all they've done after was replace rod because it created slop at top.

Nope... I gave out a couple of engines during the winter time for testing purposes as my climate does not allow me to run in the winter.....But the reviews you read on the forums are from paying customers..... IMO the only valid feedback you can trust is from a paying customer...I have offered some discounts to certain racers, but it for my own testing purposes, not for bribing good reviews.....

some have criticized me for promoting my own products on the forums..But I am a honest straight forward person and I believe it is my job to promote my own products myself, not bribe others to do it for me..I much prefer to deal with everyone first hand and let them hear it from the horse's mouth so to speak...

I'll say of all the people on this forum talking about their porducts ro services, Ron from Werks, and Neal from ClockWorks are two fo the straightest shooting guys on here. Sometimes they are straight forward to a fault, as in people take it wrong and get bent outa shape..

It seems the B6 is likely a much "higher end" or "better quality" engine and if I were to start racing regularly that would be my pick.......unfotunately there is no 1/8 scale racing at my local track. And I dont have the time to travel 2-3 hours to the nearest nitro races. I miss too many of the 1/10 electric races and they are 5 min from my house!
I picked this buggy up for fun and will be running it on a 1/10 scale SC track just for fun. I doubt I would be able to take advantage of the "better" engine in any way.
I can pick up a new Dynamite Platinum .21 for $110 thats pretty dang cheap verses the $240 plus shipping for the works. I could use the extra $$ to try a pipe or 2 or......other improvements to the buggy.
So I must say for now........money is the determining factor much more so than quality or power.......I am going with the Dynamite to save some cash........and hope that a Nitro class will open up in the future and I can get a little more serious.
Thanks again for all the responses

Lol, well then let me be the guy that tells you that last week at the practice session in Thailand in Kortz's car our stock B6 with a simple ceramic rear bearing had more bottom, mid and top end than the guys running the new OS Speeds. And this is at an event where everyone knows how to tune an engine properly and they can all drive correctly so no mish mash of boy racers and local track trash talkers. Plus I might add we were getting 10:38 seconds a tank run time with a stock 7mm reducer to boot. Roughly 15 to 20 sec more than what I was clocking others at. As they say talk is cheap, facts don't lie and if you want facts then you need to compare the performance of engines back to back on the same track with people that can drive just as fast. In a nutshell everyone that is probably going to make up the a-main at the worlds was there, so you can't get any better drivers to use to make a comparison with. As far as the OP's question about a comparison to Dynamite I cant say as I did not see one running there. There were some guys running alpha but they were so far off the pace that it was not possible to make a comparison as far as engine performance is concerned.
