I'll take Neal's reputation over OS's every day of the week. Nobody from OS called me every week and asked me how my OS was running. There is nobody at OS that I can call if I have a question or a problem. There is nobody at OS that will say " send it back to me I'll take a look at it". There is nobody at OS who will tell me to send back my engine for a different one if I was not completely satisfied with it's performance. There is nobody at OS who will sell me Con rods or any other parts at their cost to get my engine running again. I can go on and on but I think you get my point. The best part is that this is the kind of service that everyone gets from John and Neal at Clockwork. It matters not if you are one of his team drivers, a friend or just some stranger who happens to buy one of their engines. It goes way beyond a modified mill. It's perfection in everything they do and it's like having your own personal engine factory. Those of us who know, know

For whats its worth I think the new XZB Speed is pretty kick ass ! definitely more powerful then I was expecting.... I am also very impressed with the OS 25......... pretty dam nice engines if you ask me ! I am not quite sure what all this drama is about, to me it seems kind of pointless....

Just got home from a night of practice on a 100% traction track. Never ran on such a thing. I thought my clocked B5 was slightly slack for 2 ft coming onto the straight. M2C clutch and all. Wrong. After running with speeds, jx's and other modifieds i found that i was killing them the 1st 3 ft and slaughtering them from that point on. The traction was so great that my front tires wouldn't even unload under full throttle. Our tracks are usually very slick. Man did that mofo crack a note down the straight. I had my very strong JP in my buggy and was experienceing the same thing, weak feeling acceleration at beginning of straight. Finally pulled it and put a very good running Speed on buggy and it seemed like such a sis. Standing next to the track while running then you could tell it was flying. We are expecting more rain tonight/tomorrow so conditions should be same for sat. The B5 will be clutched up some and will be a killer sat.

i have the same relationship w/my modder on the cust serv as well so i know exactly what you mean. but im talkin about the engine company......not the modder. you actually proved my point, were talkin about a CUT b5, im talkin bout STOCK O.S. engines, i dont here guys raving about a b5 out the box, the hype is what Maxi/Clockwork does to them.
fwiw, if i have a problem w/an engine its prolly my fault so i wont need to call anyone for help, get the tuning screwdriver out and make it happen
im gone leave it @ that...this is Maxi's thread plus im sure itll be taken the wrong way so if you wan continue just holla @ me in pm

Once again your are trying to stir a pot that doesn't want to be stirred. But if you go read the B5 and B6 threads then I think you would find alot of very satisfied customers.. there are reasons it it the #1 selling engine at A-Main, Low Price and Excellent Performance, and those are uncut..
Now please just leave it alone..

The way I see it if you are recieveing calls on how your engine is running. That sounds like some one is concerned about thier work. Clockwork modds engines O.S. make engines so no do't expect a call from a manufacturer. You deal with the dealer. You'll take clockworks rep over O.S. lmao on that on. O.S. has pushed a RTR to the top of the podium in a WORLD event and has multiple titles under thier belt. I mean really what has clockwork done.

...ummm, that would be 'sir', not 'ma'am'. You say this to James, and then use the word 'respect' in the same paragraph
Live it, don't say it.
