LMP styled locost BEC's?
fdaa - 5/4/08 at 12:47 PM

Hello all,

I have been reading this forum for quite a time now and it is a great source for information. I really like the concept of BEC's and would love to build one. But to be honest I am not a big fan of the seven body style.

What kind of different locost'ish LMP styled kits are available? What are the pro's and con's of them. I would appreciate links to build diarys if you have.

Thanks,
Fredrik

Spire sports cars produces a nice kit,at a fair price,I had chance to drive of one of the first cars back in 2004,it felt a very competent chassis,it was fitted with the Audi engine,I think you will need to fit a minimum of a zx12 bike engine though for serious performance,as the car is quite a bit heavier than a 7 type chassis,there new demo car a supercharge zx14 looks a bit of a beast

Does anyone know if the Dominator TS400 is still available? Dominator Sports Cars site does not seem to exist anymore.

Trying googling Kit Car Crisis before you take this Dominator interest any further.

zilspeed:
I did a google search as you suggested. It seems to me that most people thought that the problem was with the builder, not the car.

Does anyone here have a copy of Kit Car Crisis to share? Whatever the problem was it sounds like an interesting show.

fdaa, the red one above is the new RAW Engineering car, the Fulcrum.

Or there is the WLR by AGM Sport Cars (too heavy for a BEC tho)
