My Dad brought over his new B5 yesterday. I installed the X-Can, IB 4200 Rx pack and the pullstart filter for him and it was good to go. I don't know if it was the X-Can or what, but I had to fiddle with the needles to keep it running. After about 5 minutes I had it dialed and off to the school down the street we went.

I like it! It may not have the zing of it's smaller cousins, but it is plenty fast and stable as hell. Ran for about 40 minutes on a tank of fuel and I only had to pit stop about a dozen times to empty the debris catchers. Those inlets need mesh over them bad.

Sure glad I have access to it any time. Saves me from having to buy one myself.
 
Yeah they are alot of fun..They usually draw quite a crowd to. Lots of kids asking if they can drive it. Now I just need a track here to run it on..
