LRP Sphere Competition TC Spec digital

LRP Sphere Competition TC Spec digital

LRP have released their latest speed controller, the Sphere Competition TC Spec digital, which has been designed to cope with the extreme stresses of modern day electric touring car racing. Designed for use with brushed and brushless motors, this is the same speedo that Ronald Völker used to win the DHI Cup back in January and as well as sporting a low profile heat sink with integrated cooling fan, the controller can be used equally well with 4 to 6 cells and sports launch control as well as improved braking capabilities over previous versions.

LRP VTEC AAA batteries

LRP VTEC AAA batteries

Perfect for those racers that take their Mini-Z racing seriously or those who just want to ensure their receiver pack in their gas car will last the distance, comes these new 1000mAh AAA cells from LRP. Using VTEC technology these cells are were designed with racing in mind and are probably the best ultra long run time AAA cells you can get.

The huge capacity always provides longer operating time for every application then regular stock alka-line batteries with way less capacity. The VTEC AAA-1000UC NiMH cell was originally designed for RC car competition receiver battery packs, Micro Car drive batteries (e.g. Xmod or Mini-Z) and mobile computer systems.

LRP Shark 1/18th Nitro Race Monster Truck

LRP Shark 1/18th Nitro Race Monster Truck

We were a little slow off the mark with this one, mostly because it seemed a bit dull to start off, another tiny gas powered RTR that goes on all terrain blah blah blah. That was before i saw the video of this thing going….50km/h of muck shredding coolness is how i would sum it up. It is supposedly 1/18th in scale, but its a monster truck so it has the proportions of a 1/16th scale and it rips. It’s powered by 1.2ccm LRP motor, is shaft driven 4wd, has pivot ball front suspension and is basically a mini racer. If you want it you will have to wait until the 22nd of December, so perhaps Santa can just about manage to get you one.

With a top-speed of 50 km/h and a 1.2ccm high performance engine, this little race monster truck is conquering every parking lot or racetrack! The all new LRP SHARK-18 RMT combines the most popular features of the R/C Car world: compact dimensions, great offroad performance and nitro power = perfect 1/18 drive feeling!

Ivan, using with a brushless LRP motor, has captured his third consecutive outdoor title on the back of having just taken the Indoor National title as well.

For sure, Ivan trusted in the LRP Brushless Technology and did not give any chance to his opponents. In a total domination, Ivan won all qualification runs, all three A-mains and also set the fastest lap time!
