17 minutes of on track video and only 11 minutes of actual running...............Nidski do we need to come out there and give you some driving lessons again LOL J/K

In all seriousness the mod B5 has been able to run a 15 minute race without a pitstop, the fellow won the race too...However that is on the extreme side of runtime to be expected and definitely not the norm.....The Mod B5 can do a 12 minute pitstop under pretty much any track condition, i have yet to have a customer report back any less then that....I do know in side by side testing under the same conditions the B5 was able to run 3 minutes longer on a tank then a OS Speed was...so considering its power output and RPM its definitely an impressive engine !

I will testing the XZ in a Truggy today ! should have some video posted up later today ! Comparing its dyno graph to the Ninja JX I am going to say the XZ is a little softer in the bottom but a fair bit stronger on the topside....

Thats understandable.... I am the same way ! for information sake only, from testing so far the new mod XZ-B is going to be a little smoother on the low end but pull like a banshee down the back straight....The mod Ninja JX was already a beast on the top end and the XZ-B is showing a substantial increase over it on the topside...

Sweet! I'd love to see some video. The dyno results looked very impressive!

lol, I was also testing out the durability of my gear, not just the enginelol..but seriously, I know I drove like crap in that vid..unfortunatelyI haven't been to the races much this season due to work. I did manage to do mileage testing at the races that I did attend, and I know that I ran a 10 minute race ( and won ), and still had 50ml of fuel left in my tank under the conditions I ran in. I don't crash ( or spin my tires ) as much when I race(lol), and I would feel confidant pitting anywhere between 12 and 14 minutes depending on my mileage that day.
We run 20 minute A mains, and 10 minute B mains. I pit once during A mains, and I don't pit if I end up in the B mains. The video doesn't do this engine any justice because of the trigger-man, but you can see how well it runs, how it screams up top, how it can run so long on it's lid-I can walk instead of run when I need to flip it over, and how well it idles..it's hard to see the power because of the lack of traction, but trust me when I say it's fantastic.
This glow plug has seen more than a gallon of fuel, and the engine has seen 5 gallons, with no new parts yet. I'm going to the track tomorrow, I'll likely put another gallon through it tomorrow lol..I don't get to make it out too often ( 100 km drive for me to get there ), so I make it worth my while
