(290)

It all began when Sean wanted a Goped to ride and worked jobs around his neighborhood until he saved up enough money to purchase one. Once in hand, Sean and Ryan wanted to figure out how to make it faster, so they disassembled it and began to work on it. Soon, Sean and Ryan were working on Gopeds from all over the country. Sean and Ryan’s father, Paul, saw the success Sean and Ryan were having with their engine rebuilding and decided it would be good idea to make it into a business, and created O’Neill Brothers Racing. While Sean and Ryan were at school, Paul kept the business running smoothly by answering the phone and packaging orders. Eventually Paul let Sean take the reins once he graduated from school. Once the Goped business was off and running, they began making engines for pocket bikes, RC Cars and RC Boats. Tragically and unexpectedly, Ryan passed away at the young age of 18. The business was put on hold for some time until Sean was ready to start working on the business again and live out his brother’s dream in making this business a success. Sean hired his best friend, Dan Silagy, to help him with the business and eventually gained enough success to move to their own warehouse. There, Sean & Dan worked tirelessly to come up with new ideas to make themselves an even bigger success. It was around this time that Sean’s younger brother, Joe O’Neill, began working for O’Neill Brothers Racing. Joe primarily works on getting RC Cars race ready, and can be seen racing for O’Neill Brothers Racing all over the United States. Today, O’Neill Brothers Racing is still headquartered in Torrance, CA. O’Neill Brothers Racing has earned the reputation of being one of the most reliable engine builders out there and are known for their superb customer service and willingness to work on anything that comes their way.

Part 7 of the OG Series

The Result.

For 26 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to building engines that perform when it matters most. Throughout this series, we’ve shown you the craftsmanship, the engineering, the hours, the finished product. Now, it’s time to show you the result. What you’re looking at is just a small fraction of the podium finishes and victories our customers have achieved with OBR power over the past 26 years. Behind every one of these photos is a racer who put their trust in our products. And we’re proud to have played a part in their success. These pictures don’t even come close to telling the whole story. They’re just the tip of the iceberg. To every racer who’s represented OBR throughout the years, whether on the top step or just putting in everything you’ve got, thank you. These are your accomplishments. We’re just proud to be part of the journey.

26 years of building. 26 years of racing. 26 years of proving our products.

Custom built. Race proven. O’Neill Brothers Racing.

Part 6 of the OG series

The Finished Product

We’re back! After a weekend at the races putting our engines to the test, we’re back for Part 6 of the OBR OG Series, and it’s time to show the finished product.

Featured here is our Signature Series Reed Case Fujiwara 35cc Top End Kit.

These cylinders represent 20 years of development, dedication, and experience that Sean and Dan have put in.

Precision machining sets the foundation, but the real craftsmanship is in the hand porting, shaping, and blending, all done with absolute attention to detail.

Anyone can assemble parts, but producing work at this level is a craft honed over decades.

There’s a difference between putting an engine together and understanding the craft behind building one.

We’ll let you be the judge.

Custom Built. Race Proven.

Part 5 of the OG series

Supporting the Racing Community

At O’Neill Brothers Racing, our passion doesn’t stop at building engines. Racing has always been a part of who we are, and supporting the communities that have supported us over the years is something we take seriously.

This weekend, Sean O’Neill and Ibin Guerra are representing OBR at the Go-Ped races, while Dan Silagy is flying the OBR banner at the fifth-scale RC race.

Two different racing communities, one shared passion.

Some companies are happy to sell you an engine and let someone else represent their name at the track. At OBR, we don’t just build engines for racers. We ARE racers, and we show up.

Whether we’re in the shop developing engines, turning wrenches in the pits, or competing alongside our customers, our commitment remains the same.

We’re proud to be part of both communities and grateful for everyone who continues to support OBR.

Part 4 of the OG Series

Today we’re taking you behind the scenes for a closer look at the machining process on our Zenoah G320 cylinders. These pictures show the first CNC operation on the transfer ports, just one of many steps involved in preparing each cylinder. Building an OBR engine involves much more than simply bolting parts together. Each cylinder passes through multiple precision machining and finishing operations before assembly. We’ll share more of the process over the next few days leading up to the finished product.

Built by hand. Built with purpose. Built to race.

Part 3 of the OG Series

This is where the little details make a big difference.

Every crank gets checked and measured before it ever makes its way into an OBR engine. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes work most people never see, but it’s been part of how we build engines since the beginning.

No shortcuts. Just years of experience, attention to detail, and making sure every piece is right before it goes together.

Built by hand. Built with purpose. Built to race.
