I was wondering if the ops 45 stock would be competitive in todays world with the 45 picco's and CMB45rs or CMB45hr. It would be for a Phil Thomas Sport 40 . Thanks,
Zach

2nd place at the IMPBA nats was a OPS drum rotor motor. Good motor for the money. Id find a better carb like a Geraghty or C/B Carl Brey

You can get parts down under,with out much trouble you can install a k/b billet housing and drum. pitch the disc or just find a ops with the later drum from ops

Yea Phil got lucky at the Nats. We won the heat racing event after a runoff with him, then broke a 4 year old motor and didn't put in a time in the ovals. Came back with a 2nd in the straightaway event for an overall 2nd. All of our OPS motors use the K&B drum Assmy's and Carl Brey carbs. They run very strong and we use 1455 props on our sport 40's.

An OPS 45 with an OPS .67 pipe and a carb. is a cheap fast set-up and will run with the best. Parts are easy to get. Don
were do you get the ops parts?

Hello Zach .
This is a reply from Australia . I have run a OPS 45 disc motor in a Sprintcat cat for some time and recently ran it after a motor rebuild . I was surprised at the lack of performance until I realised that it had a OPS 6280 ( 67 ) nitro pipe instead of the usual OPS 6290 ( 60 ) silenced pipe . I only use a maximum of 30 % nitro in my motors with a factory slide carby . I also have a OPS 45 drum motor with a OPS 6290 ( 60 ) pipe in a Sport 40 boat , however I am still getting used to driving this boat . Hopefully this helps with your enquiries .
