LRP Exhaust, Clutch shoes & Inserts
More new items from LRP, this time for use with 1/8th scale buggies and truggies. First up is this new 3-chamber tuned pipe, which has been tested and developed in close cooperation with the LRP factory team. Specially developed for racing situations in which you need maximum top-speed and reliable performance, this new exhaust system works perfectly with engines from .21 – .30 size.

LRP A.I. Runner Bullet Reverse ESC
More news from LRP who have announced the new A.I. Runner Bullet Reverse, a 100% waterproof speed control that can be operated under water with full power. With LRP’s exclusive true Automatic technology, a push button setup is completely unnecessary, just plug-in the speedo and drive. The speed control immediately ‘learns’ the individual transmitter setting and is perfectly set-up for every run with the correct neutral, full speed forward and full speed reverse transmitter settings. Whatever your car’s configuration is, the LRP True Automatic adapts to it and determines your perfect configuration. The ESC also contains a Fail Safe System that continuously monitors the radio signals being sent to your RC car. If incomplete or ‘false’ signals are received as a result of low batteries or radio frequency interference, it will react instantly and shut off your model to protect it against damage.
