whats the views on putting a blade in a robin hood??:

The old 2b chassis weigh a ton, you'll need something with torque for them

I wouldn't - a Robin Hood with a pinto and type 9 weighs a humungous 820kg. Take away the pinto and box and put a bike engine back in and you'll be at around 700kg.
700kg is not BEC territory - more like 450-500 is where you should be.


Edit starts here
P.S. Never thought about the new lightweight. I believe that would be much more suitable.

I'm pondering on the new lightweight and fireblade, but no news form Robin Hood on potential engines yet!

There was one distinct advantage that the second Robin Hood had over a book locost....


I fit in it - with a seat...

I'm still try to work around that particluar minor inconvenience with my beloved locost....
