Nitro Pipe

[TOM DRIVER]

Will a 60 ops nitro pipe perform on a 45 old style ops motor and if so what length?

Thanks Tom

That pipe will work very well on the OPS 45 , it was the standard for many years and depending on prop , and boat I would start around 10 3/4.

If its the newer version you will have to reduce the stinger size to I think .390 .

Will probably use them on my twin JAE 45. Any suggestions on what props to use.

Thanks Tom

They will work very well Tom I raced that combination for many years, just give me a lap head start when we race together. B)

Not sure what props will be the best for that boat , there are so many good 45 rigger props but I always liked the 1462 cupped at the pond.

Just start with something a little small untill you get the boat working then go from there , every boat is different.

The pipe will be ok starting at 10" depending the engine and 1655 cup 4.1 or 1460 cup 4.3 is what works on my 45 Picco rigger...1657 is another good option too. Gill
