Werks Racing B6 & B5-Pro engines

Eoghain — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 20:06:35 +0000

Werks Racing have announced the release of their new B5-Pro and B6-Pro engine. They left the basic performance characteristics of the aggressive bottom and strong mid/top of the B5 and the super smooth and linear power band of the B6 in place and just made them better with these new Pro versions. By incorporating ceramic rear bearings and a lightened and epoxy filled crankshaft in the Pro versions, engines will now spool up faster providing increased acceleration and fuel economy. Black anodized crankcases not only look sharp but also provide for increased heat dissipation. A billet CNC machined rear back plate reduces weight and increases rigidity of the case assembly. A new heat insulation sleeve material improves carburetor performance and reduces the likelihood of heat saturation. Finally everything is topped off with a new, large diameter cooling head which not only improves heat dissipation but also lowers the overall CG of the engine by reducing weight by 5% over the standard B5 & B6 heads and an amazing 10% over their 2010 head design.

Werks Racing go 100% pre-mount

Oisin O'Briain — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:03:10 +0000

After months of testing and development Werks Racing have announced that they are offering pre-mounted 1/8th buggy tires which will mean the giant step of going 100% pre-mount only on their 1/8th buggy tires! Werks Racing will no longer be selling un-mounted 1/8th Buggy tires and say the reason was simple, ‘which driver in their right mind wants to glue tires?’ To offer one of the best packages in the industry the US company has taken their complete range of 1/8th buggy tires and matched them with 2 of their other recently released products. The new “white” super consistent, medium compound molded insert and the new low weight, large diameter 1/8th buggy dish wheel. These have been combined with a proven “Italian” gluing system for an inseparable glue bond. All of the components will be manufactured, assembled and glued in Italy at an attractive and affordable price.

Werks Racing new Molded Insert

Eoghain — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:23:54 +0000

Werks Racing have announced the release of their new and improved 1/8th scale buggy tire inserts. Keeping the same wide, slightly rounded, profile that works exceptionally well with most of today’s more popular tire designs these new inserts use a new, lighter weight, higher quality material that makes for an even more consistent insert, virtually eliminating any difference in hardness between one to the next. As an added bonus the new material is less prone to disintegrating resulting in a longer wearing insert all at the same price as the old one.
