LRP Brushless & Brushed Cooling Set

LRP have announced the release of their Brushless & Brushed Cooling Set, which is essentially a fan and heatsink combination. As we all know excessive motor temperatures lower the efficiency and the power of a motor and can also lead to permanent damage so with this new offering from LRP you will see a considerable reduction in motor temperature during the race which keeps motor power up. Suitable for all 540-type motors, the set features a blue anodised heatsink and an oversized cooling fan to remove the heat.

LRP IPC V8.1 Generation+

The LRP IPC V7.1 controller had amassed somewhat of a legendary status thanks to its success and popularity, and now LRP have released the follow up to that legend, the IPC V8.1 Generation+.

Although the V4.1 has the original IPC technology, it has been adapted for street and fun racers.
