Is this the BEC owners club engine swap? I think they go very well (although personally cant comment). Have a look at Utube - plenty of videos of R1
locosts on there.

If anything, my BEC had been much more reliable than my CEC.

Not a '7' but it'll give you an idea. 350kg rather than 450ish for a BEC. Slicks (not on this occassion!) and wings.
My first drive in the wet, and only my second ever drive so not that quick.

Dunno about the R1 engine, but what are you doing with your 1600 xflow?
might be interested

At the risk of giving Mr GAmlin a big head, he can drive a bit, and his car has been 'developed' a little (realy good shocks for one
thing) but this is effectively a common-or-garden locost with an injected R1 and it SHIFTS!

Cheers Tim, not sure the praise is entirely warranted though
The Cadwell vids are probably the best Ive had the car going for ages, just after fitting a new set of rear boots.
