It’s good news , never had a problem with LRP stuff. Always hate it when a brand associated with rc products goes under. I wish them well

I’m of the same mindset, I have always liked LRP products and wish them the best. I wonder if “modified business model” means a shift in production from Europe to China? Just curious. I just bought a Blackbox 510r (which is very nice) but would have certainly considered another LRP if they had remained solvent. Will be interesting to see what products they bring to market with the new venture.

It would be nice if they left the support pages (firmware downloads etc) up while they had the relaunch countdown on their site

good to hear. I wish them much success and longevity.

With LRP officially gone, that means they dont have to honor any of the warranty issues with the current line of stuff.....wonder how they will handle that

You really think LRP does care about your warranty??

I wonder how they will handle the debt. .

They went bankrupt and closed shop. This is a new company. I think they just walk away from the debt.

Unless creditors come after him personally. Besides, how does someone who just bankrupt a company get a line of credit to start a new one? Unless someone has been getting overpaid for a long time.......I dunno, wonder how he did get the money,interesting.

If the brand else has a good solid name or reputation
it's easier to get credit from the banks or investors..

LRP was incorporated as GmbH, which means the owners aren't personally liable for company debts.

walk away from debts.
walk away from warranties.
walk away from contracts with suppliers

New backers with cash..
New contracts with new suppliers.

Today's business model.
my opinion.

And I never had an issue with any LRP product I had,none. There is just something about it that feels wrong to be able to do that so easy.

Yeah I think I saw that Market plan in the movie " Goodfella's " LOL !
