New from LRP comes the Screamer-93 1/8th off-road exhaust system. The 3-chamber EFRA2109 pipe is designed to make for a more linear power curve and more controllable throttle action while increasing fuel economy at the same time. Included with the set that works with most of today’s 1/8th off-road engines come a suitable manifold, silicone gaskets and mounting springs.

Team Associated and LRP today announced jointly that Associated will no longer be selling and servicing the LRP brand in North America. Associated has supported the LRP brand in North America for over 18 years and the two brands have achieved great success with many IFMAR World Championships together during this partnership. See below for the remainder of the announcement.
With both brands expanding and their respective product lines overlapping, both sides felt the timing was right to work independently, but still continue a racing partnership. Associated will now fully focus on developing and promoting the Reedy brand in all markets. Reedy develops products in the electric motor, nitro engine, battery, charger and speed control categories. LRP will expand its presence in North America by establishing LRP America, Inc. in Southern California. LRP America will provide marketing, service, and race support for a broadened product range in North America. LRP America will begin serving North America on September 1, 2013.

Designed for the S10 Twister range of cars are LRP’s new machined aluminium motor mount plate and the steel transmission gear set. Starting with the motor plate, the part is CNC-machined from 7075 aluminium, comes blue anodised and with machined recessions to lower the parts’ weight. The design makes for added rigidity of the motor and transmission area while offering additional cooling when using high-performance brushless motors. The second new part is the steel transmission gear set for the Twister range. Included in the set are a metal input, idler and differential gear as well as a composite material gear diff cover. The parts offer increased durability and are ideal when using low turn brushless setups. Both the motor plate and the gear set are usable in the S10 Twister buggy, truggy and short course truck.
