Hi everyone forgive me if im being slack

Is this the best area to post Ron Champion Locost related posts? I cant see a specific forum for this?

Cheers

on here under LOCOST

Yes this is the best Forum for Ron Champion Locost questions. Just select the best category for the questions you wish to ask. i.e. chassis, electrics, IVA etc, etc.


nyawton - 9/4/12 at 02:29 PM

Ah right i see, Sorry it looks as though its Titled Luego Locost, not meaning to be picky just thought that was possibly a specific type of locost car

I will get posting, Thanks for your reply


ReMan - 9/4/12 at 02:31 PM

I can see his point

As the forum has grown it's a bit unclear.
If I understand correctly the RC "Locost" per se is split into the different categories for Chassis, Doner, running gear etc

The Luego-Locost is exactly that, alng with the other Manufacturer specific models

Shoot me down?

Cheers that makes sense, Ill pick the best areas relating to the specifics. Oh man iv got loads to ask, picking up a project my dad started over 10 years ago.. Wish me luck

hi, and welcome, pick a more general forum area as in chassis for instance.
have a quick search first someone may have asked already.
if not ask away theres many helpfull and knowledgeable people on here (+ a few sarcastic ones)
and good luck with your build

Cheers,

Well the engine and parts we currently have from a Ford pick up truck. The engine is a 2L pinto + accessories. Im hoping this will be good to use

If trhe engine is no good to use, why not consider fitting a bike engine......

Oh no, I've gone and done it haven't I?..................

Hi

We cant really use a bike engine, as all the parts we currently have all fit in with the Pinto engine model. I much prefer bike engines my self though, Much more into bikes too!. Dad isnt though

If the Pinto is there, use it.

Once your car has been built to use a Pinto, anything else you might to fit down the road will go in there, no problem.

The Pinto will make it go briskly enough.

And also allow for a cosworth upgrade with ease...

Be aware that if the engine and gearbox are both from the P100, the ratios in the box are not really suited to these cars.

Yes.... But the gearbox can be changed very easily at a later date, as can the engine.
I am assuming its a Type 9, so would be a Nut n Bolt change <simples chk>


Also on a historical note, I believe that Luego made the chassis's for Rons company, but that was a very very long time ago.
