Too bad they are done. GRP made a great little engine. I see A-main pulled them from their website, not even listed anymore. Time for a change.
I have heard nothing but good things about these engines too. I remember reading, or being told, that GRP was going to sell the engines direct to the customer to cut out the middle man so that they could make some more money per unit, in attempt to keep afloat. I guess that isn't gonna happen now. Boy did I ever pick the perfect time to buy one, eh?
My LHS has a promo kit still in stock that he wanted to sell me BAD before
I bought this one. His best deal was still twice what I paid for just the engine. I had to buy a pipe, yes, but I just put the 053 Dynamite on it for now. Should be fine.
