I'm running the werks heavy flywheel, 2 carbon 2 alum setup. 2-3 gallons still running rich and it still hits like a sledge in the buggy.
what springs are you running?
also you can bell your car up one tooth and let rev to the moon and still have a nice bottom

I've got a nice metallic sound coming out the motor when running. Bearing sounds "dry". The rear bearing is ever so slighty "bumpy" feeling if i apply downward pressure and spin it. I haven't taken it out the case yet. I can get TKO ceramics cheaper than the stock bearings. Just not sure...need to try and get some by Friday! I wanna race Saturday!

Things are a little hit and miss with the TKO bearings every now and then so just be aware of that. When it comes to ceramics you really do get what you pay for.

Go with the stock Werks bearing. I have no idea where Werks gets them from, but they are AWESOME bearings. All I ever use as replacements.

I know when its time to replace the bearings in my new B6, the stock bearings will be going back in it. I think they are smoother than the tko.

Unfortunately Answer doesn't have that rear bearing size. I have had excellent service from Answer ceramic engine bearings in my other engines.

Yeah the stock bearings seem great. Never had one drop of fuel leak out the front. Just need to figure out the part numbers for them! Any help?

Just go up one tooth and test, leave the spur alone. You always can adjust in the Tx the speed of the servo when opens. Try that before buy a new CB, its free. lol.

Hey Will the larger bell is probably what you need, I run a tooth bigger pretty much with either the B5 or the B6..bring it over next weekend and we will get it all where you like it...
