New from LRP is the Dynamic 8 1600kv Brushless Motor. It’s a high torque, hi efficiency 1/8 scale motor using a 4-pole magnet, and a multi-slot winding to help keep the heat down. Seems like more and more vehicles are using 1/8 scale systems, and the bigger they get, the more torque they need. A 1600kv should give ya plenty of torque.
They will be available in September 2012 for about $235.

New from LRP is the Spin Super Brushless ESC. It’s designed for the parking lot, and newbie guys and built for 1/10th scale on-road and off-road vehicles. It has a switching BEC and can handle from 2s to 4S lipo batteries. It’s upgradable via usb and is ‘splash proof’ which is more than enough protection for most people. We don’t have a price on this one yet, but if it can handle 4S I know there will be some interested people! The fact that LRP is saying it’s for the newbie/parking lot guys means it should be pretty affordable when it’s released.

So we don’t give a lot of love to nitro around here as of late. Wrench still reps nitro like a champ, but the rest of us have pulled away for the most part. There is still a lot of nitro love out there though, and LRP has a new ZR.32 Spec.2 Pull Start Nitro Engine available for anyone looking for a little non-battery powered boost. XTEC T6 engine housing, XTEC PowerCarb 2 15S-2 carburetor with 9mm inserts, universal fit, and an ultra strong pull start all look to make this guy a winner. It’d fit great in your 1/8 scale buggy, truggy, or monster truck, and 4.34HP is no joke! It should be available now for around $330.

It looks like LRP has an update to their A.i. Runner Reverse ESC This is a legendary ESC that features a no-button setup! Just plug it in and you’re off and running. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. I can never remember the setup instructions on my of my ESCs. There is nothing more frustrating than being out somewhere and not having the write-up on your ESC if you need to reprogram. It is now 100% waterproof, features a fail-safe that stops your vehicle in the event of running out of radio range, and an on/off switch. It should be available anytime for around $70. I’ve got to say, I love all these MFGs getting on the waterproofing kick!

Who says 2wd buggy is dead? Well, besides everybody… LRP apparently hasn’t gotten the memo though as they introduce their brand new S10 Twister. It’s a 1/10 scale buggy that comes ready to run with a 27 MHz radio, 540 brushed motor paired to a digital ESC, a battery and charger. Other nice features are full ball bearings, a fully adjustable suspension with oil-filled shocks, and a composite tub chassis for durability.
The LRP S10 Twister is hitting the shelves over in Europe right now, no word if it’ll make the jump across the Atlantic (or the longer jump across the Asian continent and then the Pacific, or maybe it’ll take a polar route and come across Canada). For more info check out the LRP website.
