LRP walked us through their new bits on their large stand and there are lots of new things on display. First up is a new line of Quantam speed controllers, these are aimed at the entry level market and are all supplied with reverse and come in 3 different versions, Super, Pro and Bullet. For cooling your LRP motor, they have released a range of aluminium plates for the rear and front of the motor, with the front versions available in 2 thicknesses for adjusting the centreline weight of your car.
