Written by: Jeff Eveleigh

….but still remain friends. After 18 years of partnership and multiple National and World titles, the popular US and German companies announced jointly today that Team Associated will no longer be selling and servicing the LRP brand in North America. Team Associated will focus its efforts into further developing and promoting the Reedy brand of motors, batteries, engines, chargers, and speed controls while LRP will establish a North American distribution center in Southern California in early September of this year. This has been a mutual decision by both powerhouses and although they will work independently with regards to business, they will still maintain a strong racing partnership into the future.
