Has anyone run an OS 160FX with a PT Carbon 18x8 prop? I gather the blades are a bit wider than the Mejlik Props?

The OS160FX will be going on an EF 74" Yak. I was going to run an APC 18x6w but...

RE: Increasing 2 stroke performance - how?

It's not a racing class, it's a combat class. The reason I said a 9x4 is that outright speed is not the key but good acceleration and most importantly having the motor 'on song' in the turns.

RE: Increasing 2 stroke performance - how?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Engine is used in a competition that limits size to .30 with NO tuned pipes!!!
