Sucks to hear the bummer news about GRP.

AFter greasing the o-rings for the HSN, LSN, pinch bolt pieces in my carb and sealing the back plate, the engine is working great now. I can't believe it still has that much power with a 6mm carb insert and yet only runs 200-210 degrees. It's just crazy after what I'm used to in the past years. Loving it and hoping GRP will pick up production by the time my engine wears down. LOL

So is GRP officially stopping production or is it still just speculation? I can't find any hard facts on it.

this is not good news i did hear about this a while back that grp were going to stop production of there motors...

sounds like it is time to start searching for a new motor to use ....

It's really a shame they produce a great product. I have run them since they came out and they run well. I will run what I have and then switch to nova or maybe trinity I don't know. I just hate to see a good company that produces solid reliable products go under.

your rite frank im not sure which way i will go maybe try a new os i have looked at the nova motors not sure which one i would get but :confused:

Former GRP engine designer Mario Rossi has joined forces with Italian distributor Schepis Model.
The two have been in business during the early days of GRP engines with Schepis Model's 'Boss' branded GRP engine. Salvatore Schepis and Mario Rossi announced the deal last weekend at the first round 10th scale touring champs in Mesero.
Schepis tell us that together Rossi and Schepis will develop and produce a new range of SchepisModel branded engines. Given that we received the news, an offroad engine looks pretty likely!

this sounds promising

not to sound silly , is there a web sight at all of the company has joined with any info ? just to keep tabs on any new motors been released:nod:

what are teh bearing sizes fot the grp tuned???

Go read again. i dont see that top part. if this was real there wouldnt not be one pro driver still runnin these engines.


same as vspec

front-7x19x6mm

rear-14x25.4x6mm



BTW ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GRP CONTACT ME.....

I just installed new tko bearings in it, ran a tank on the new bearings. but it needs a piston and sleeve. ill include a pipe and header(053, not lookin to seperate due to not needing the pipe anymore unless i have a buyer for the engine and pipe) for 100 SHIPPED inside us only. the pipe is dirty due to shoe glue from the body melted on it havent tried to clean it....

the grp has maybe 4 gallons thru it. the front bearin started leakin and i replace it to late and there is almost no compression. it still runs but it flames out every once in a while. PM ME IF INTERESTED

so they are still making these motors or not ?????

No.

Time to buy orion Alpha's. sucks. I loved my GRP's

tuned 21
