The RTR Version in the Images above should retail in the UK for £154.99, I think you will find that spec hard to beat at that price!

LRP have not 'lowered' their quality, the same winning products are still winning, their speedo's motors and lipo's are still some of the best available.

they are branching out into other product ranges and doing some entry level stuff too, but their top level competition gear is still top level.

LRP 8th scale car is the same car as the Z-car but called LRP for european distribution, initially it was Z-cars creation but LRP now have active development with this car.

its not a blip at all, look at the new touch screen pulsar charger, octa-wind x12 motors, stock spec speedo, all new top-level gear.

Thanks for the positive comments, remember this is not aimed at racing, but entry level bashers. The fact that some of you consider it good enough for racing is a real compliment. (i think it looks good enough to race too)

The RRP is £154.99 but i suspect that shops will sell them around the £134.99 mark, considering this is full RTR with Radio, speedo, motor, batteries and charger etc, its a bargain.


Forgot to say, they should be with us first week in March!

But the guy in the video said it was for racing

Im interested in one, geared diffs are a cool feature for me, as those that know me, know I need a strong car! Is the radio 2.4Ghz as there's no aerial in any pics


Edit, will there be any hop-ups available? Like spring sets etc? To give more adjustability for racing

some more info released on the LRP site

http://www.lrp.cc/en/products/new-pr...y-rtr/details/

I'm sure it would be pretty good for entry level racing, its certainly not going to be a worlds contender though, well at least its not aimed at that level or racer.

the exploded diagram looks really good!

I would imagine a range of accessories would follow but don't hold me to that.

Default Got It

Finally got mine to try

Ill be honest its No durango and it has not been made to be. Its meant to be a good introduction to racing. And in that sense it is way beyond its remit

There is alloy where there needs to be, no fiddly eclips. Whishbones pins long screw and bolt type. Totaly secure ! everything looks purposefull and will do the job.

I junked the standard radio gear of course. But looking at the one that comes with the kit I am amazed at the settings you can adjust ??? EPA adjustments throttle hi points etc WOW !!!. Im sure the speedo and battery and motor will make it zip nicely.


I threw in my LRP speedo and for now 8.5 X12 and one of my Lipo's. I changed the pinion but as soon as i started the car it made horrible noises. Im not sure but i think the pinion and spur are the old .6 module type. A little thicker and more robust than a .48dp. We shall find out. It might be an easy swap to another manufacturer. I put the kit pinion back on and the car was now smoother and quieter. Its a little noisy compared to a ball diff car its about the same as a durango. It did get smoother and quieter near the end of the pack.




Handling is really good for an out of the box RTR ill go out on a limb and say its not far off my durango but we will have to wait and see . The big shockers really smooth it out. It I had to tighten the slipper 1/2 a turn and after it shoots off like a errrr Durango ! I just love geared diffs
braking was excellent and as time went on it became smoother.
It was dry outside on the road and dusty so I couldnt really judge the turn in but I never struggled around my usuall lap around the lamposts!! HEHEH

I felt like a kid again for 20 mins before the speedo told me the battery was ready.


Nothing fell off or came loose and the kit tyres are awsome. Some to try at all tracks especially Robin Hood !!!! going to do a strip down tommorow and changed some oils.. Roll on Sunday !!!! the 410 is ready in the wings but im not worried about blooming drive shafts anymore HEHE And unlike me when racing I gave it some right stick everywhere !!!!

I saw these in PBM today and have to say that for the money they are very surprising. Cant wait to see one run at a race meeting. May well be some expensive buggy owners made to look ordinary. Hopefully not me tho. lol.
