Paul Ironmonger Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hello, can not make my mind up on which motor will be best for my Bobcat 50. I will not be going for retracts due to our rough patch - it will rip them out on the bumps. So I will have an U/C dangling in the breeze, but will use ultra slim wheels to cut drag.Thought of the West 50, OS 55AX, OS 61FX, OS 91FX or a JEN 57, what motor do you run on your Bobcat 50 and how does it perform? I am thinking of going for brute force with the OS 91FX as its the same crank case size as the OS 61FX and same weight.Any advice most welcome.Regards, Paul.

Jonathan Lewzey Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 The advantage of the West 50 (pusher) is that you can use a normal prop instead of sourcing a pusher one. It all depends on what you want to spend - why not go for the JEN 91 2stroke which is also the same size crankcase as a 60 size 2 strokeJonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
