Which axle for BEC
I'm using a Fireblade in my car [Locost ish, which will be used as a road car only]. What are your opinions as to the axle/diff best to use with
this engine?

Depends whether you want LSD or not. If you're not particularly bothered, go for a 3.38:1 open diff. Otherwise a 3.62:1 Limited slip diff from
an XR4x4.
Oops, just seen you're building a Locost'ish. The above applies only for Sierra running gear.

Depends on what axle and rear set-up you are going to use.
Live, de-dion or fully independant.
That's the decision you need to make first.
