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

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.

This was posted up on Neo-Buggy on 4/22/09
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!

i saw this on neobuggy today,
- GRP stop engine production, focus on tyres?
Got Gossip ?
[email protected]arely 4 days after writing, "I am still runnning GRP engines at this time. we will see what the future brings but as for now still GRP." in our Live Q & A, Mike Truhe has switched to Orion engines for the remainder of the 2009 season. After Adam Drake's departure to Novarossi, it seemed only a matter of time before Truhe would find a new engine supplier. The Losi driver will debut at the Euro warm up in Austria next week.
always sad to see and eng manufacture having a tough time.

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

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
