No one is calling anyone a BS'er or anything at all....just commenting on incredible run times. I do think it's nice to hear Neal say he personally has never seen a 15 min run but can attest to 11.5 to 12.5 minutes consistently. Also Hambone's post saying his fuel level was consistently at this mark after 6mins. Those type posts carry more weight with me than others and not saying the OP w/ the 15 minutes run time didn't acheive that...

All i was saying is that Steve get 16mins almost consitently is Edmonton. But when he came to Calgary he could get 13 Just different altitude.

A better driver could squeeze more out of it than i can. I'm also running a 8mm insert instead of the stock 7mm. I only raced it 3 times since i got it at end of season. There's a learning curve for tuning this engine since it runs well being a little rich or lean. I had it a little lean the last race i ran and it just made the topend a little flat, no lean bogs. When rich it just seemed a little lazy getting on the pipe. 2 hrs on the top can take from lean to rich, rich to lean. It's pretty user friendly. I'm about ready to fire it up on back porch just to hear that 2013 crackle, lol. Neighbors won't like that. C'mon Motorama!

Did this race after race, week after week. In mains i just pit after 10 min since we usually run 20 min. Do i think it can stretch to 15 min on a smaller technical track? Maybe. Not sure. I'll know more next season. I know not too many truggies even make it 10 min on that track. So yes the V1 B5 does real well.
Let's see some video

how on earth did you come to the conclusion that i said maxi was a bs'er?? he didnt make the 15min claim(not saying that the other fella is a bs'er) id watch a 15 min vid in a heart beat for those types of runtimes. plus my son loves nitro so he gets a kick out of the vids too, lol

Not saying that 15 to 16min run times on one tank is not possible. However it is impossible for a 5 port engine to get such run time on a stanard tank. Which is a 150cc tank. These claims are just a little hard to swollo. I too would like to see proof.

All I will say is the modified B5 gets substantially better mileage then stock... it also is substantially better on fuel then any 3 port, 5 port or 7 port I have ever run or seen run.... It is also one of the fastest .21's I have ever come across........ I know the guys reporting back these crazy runtimes are indeed achieving them, too many reporting it, and too many witnesses seeing it... Steve Svenson ran a complete 15 minute race with no pitstops, went on to win the race as well....Obviously conditions were ideal for runtimes IDK...but I do know these people are not lying about it....it is what it is, what conditions are surrounding these runtimes I am not sure...but far too many people are saying the same things for it to be bullshit IMO.... many of these guys are not engine guys and would have no reason whatsoever to lie about it.... I wish I could say more, but there really isn't anything more to say...... Next season we will do some track videos ourselves and we will see what runtimes we can document... Maybe a few of you doubters will make an effort to see one of these engines run in person, for better or worse.... I am in the middle of Canada stuck under 2 feet of snow, there really isn't anything I can do at this time to help prove or disprove these reports....

Its definitely not too much to ask for..... unfortunately there is not much i can do to help right now...hopefully a few of these guys will somehow manage to shoot some video....Anyone who's ever raced knows its not that easy to find a dedicated competent cameraman during race day...seems most people at the tracks are pretty busy and caught up in their own priorities.....so we will see what happens, hopefully somewhere along the way you guys will run into one of my customers and see one of these engines run for yourselves.....Most likely the only way you guys will truly believe is if you see it with your own eyes anyways.... If we do manage to shoot some video I am sure someone will find something to complain about or bicker with......

Jusleanit hey sweet cheeks i really dont care for you really as we all know that u love to be a tad negative towards clock works. But take it which ever way you like im happy with the mod clocked b5 and runtimes thats what counts after all i payed for the motor. as for proof 10 min easy that i know with out doubt as i have done it for the last 4 days at are titles meet and mind you the motor ran flawless. On that note love to chat but im tired

i understand as i know how it is @ the track. but when making certain claims u already know how its gone turn out. just strikes me as odd when u use to ask me for footage for no reason.
