LRP Out of Business?

[rjvader]

So...I've recently gotten back into RCing and decided to finally bite the bullet on a LRP engine for my Savage, but I noticed that their nitro engines are out of stock. A little googling came up with this article, supposedly they are going to shut down for good in March?

It just mentions LRP Electric but I'm assuming it's the entire company going under?

I always thought someone else like OS made the lrp nitro engines but could be wrong, I like to support companies like kyosho that are still all in releasing new rtr's with the nitro always as an option

That's crummy news. I have 2 LRP engines in service at the moment and one in the drawer for spare. Oh well... enjoying brushless these days more anyway.

Lrp is just an importer. If they go down somebody else will pop up.

Rough time for RC.

Rough time for RC.

Another Company effected by HOBBIECO filing for chapter 11, Hopefully the rest will survive as Chap. 11 means they don't have to pay off the debt they owe to all these smaller Companies.
