Re: N E W Superlight cars from R.C.R

The reason I was thinking about a motorcycle engine is that a friend in Australia I used to race off road with built an off road racer with a motorcycle engine. He used a starter motor for the reverse also. The only thing was the carrier was a locked diff I believe. I will have to get him to send me some pictures. There was a bit of worry about the trans being able to handle the load. Off road is one of the most brutal things to a drivetrane. It was holding fine though and I have no doubt it would do fine on the street. It would certianly make for an ultralight package.
