Default is this for real?

if this has the power & rpm it boasts, i'm afraid to see what it could do to a .21 scale nitro boat. has anyone here tried this thing or have any other info on it

I've been running one in my Sport 20 for a year. It works well. I replaced the large bore carb with the smaller version from the OB.

Sport 20 is an engine class not a size dimension.

If you want to go by the on papers #'s then there are a few engines that are atleast the equal if not the better than what is mentioned.

http://www.novarossi.it/products/eng...rx21mr2ns.html

http://www.seaducerboats.com/motor.htm

These are just what I would consider the top 3 engine besides what you mention, I am no expert but by the numbers they are atleast equals.

O.S has been around forever. And in my oppinion a top motor. And would expect those #'s to be right on or very close.

Try to get a MAC .21 right now, lotza luck! Nova Rossi and CMB, both very pricy. OS is a decently priced engine with real-world HP and RPM numbers.
The others are very good engines but if you don't have deep pockets, the OS is one great way to go.
