Horizon hobby uk & LRP

[stegger]

A little bird told me yesterday that horizon and LRP have or are about too part company. As yet i don't know who will be the new distributor. Does anybody else have anymore info, were to send those warranty repairs etc!

[Darren Boyle]

They have indeed parted company, we have some serious bargains on the way, on LOTS of LRP products

We are led to believe a new distributor will be appointed soon (IF any of them are interested in taking it on that is)

Warranty "for the time being" is still with Horizon on all products that they have sold.

Joined them in 2000 when they started their 'comeback' into batteries and motors.

I think Tricky joined the year after or something like that.

That is all i want lee, i've used a lot of LRP products over the years and i just want to know that the backup is there if anything should go wrong. I just hope it gets sorted out sooner rather than later:)

[Lee]

Spash has been papped with Oscar and a deal is to be struck soon with regards to stealing the Orion distributorship :o

[ashleyb4]

Maybe its to do with the los brushless but hey what the hell has it got to do with us it will be interting to see where they go to as mirage have nosram and cml have novak also dont think cml could offer the same service as mirage.

lets not go there with this you know people will boo hoo any names that get droped if there not a fan of that company

[Lee]

Let me guess ash, you run Nosram????



I heard its going to Fister.


"Fisting the opposition till they turn BLUE"

[millzy]

why is blue better?

[Lee]

Because it says so on Doughty`s top :confused:


And there is no Orange smoke in blue stuff

[millzy]

blue smoke is better?

but norsam is LRP so is red just as good as blue but not stated on Tshirts?

[ashleyb4]

Red is better than blue as i have only seen one nosram speedo die ive seen loads of lrp's.

A

[Darren Boyle]

Chris, love the quote!!! Remids me of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"

I personally also dont care what goes on behind closed doors at LRP and Horizon just as long as it does not affect my business or the back up of the products I have or have sold. It will be a shae if we cant get LRP anymore since it has been an excellent seller for us over the years, but somtimes things move on. Lets wait and see who gets it to see if the supply will continue to be good. There are several rumours floating around as to who is in the frame and who is not already, we will see.

So off to read the HEAT scoop "George and Jurgen split over forgotten secret love child" then...........

[RLGfx]

i can see the shirts now...

"red is actually from the same factory as blue but just a little bit cheaper and with a different name on it, also it's distributed by different people and stuff"

I know i'd buy one...

[Darren Boyle]

Red is better than blue as i have only seen one nosram speedo die ive seen loads of lrp's.


But Ash they are exactly the same mate, EXACTLY (except colour of course)

[ashleyb4]

I know that it doesnt make any sence but that is what ive seen i have only seen 1 nosram brushless speedo die and that one was about 3 years old.

[millzy]

RLGfx i can see the shirts now...

"red is actually from the same factory as blue but just a little bit cheaper and with a different name on it, also it's distributed by different people and stuff"

I know i'd buy one...

but dont tell ash becuase he thinks there not

[Chris Doughty]

I think you just close your eyes when you think one is about to die, if you can't see it, it can't happen :P

[Southwell]

Everyone knows red means your cheap.

[millzy]

I think you just close your eyes when you think one is about to die, if you can't see it, it can't happen :P


maybe its the magic box Norsam's come in that suck all smoke out and then it passes in the air to an unexpected LRP Speedo causing the Speedo to overfill with smoke that leak out unexpectedly

[Darren Boyle]

RED "used" to mean not such a good back up as "BLUE" but maybe not now depending on where BLUE goes of course ;)

[millzy]

Everyone knows red means your cheap.

cheap is good

a cheap red speedo in a cheap red 2wd and 4wd( b4s are cheap now) just won the euros

[Lee]

Ash, i can`t believe you just said that :lol:


Thats like saying my black biro is better than my blue one, what a dick :lol:

[ben]

Ash, i can`t believe you just said that :lol:

Blue has to be better than red, why else would Viagra be blue?

[VintageRacer]

"If someone can create a 10" x 10" minimum 200dpi file I can make this happen"

Something like this? I've got the hi-res version if you want it.

[bigred5765]
