its a funny site the links dont work sometimes heres how to get there
1. type www.rcdeal.com in you adress bar
2.at the top left of the page click on rc auctions
3.scroll down that page a little further than half way
4.on the left click on the bye bye grp store
they have 4 .28 promos for 285$ and they have 4 sport .21 promos for 215$ a buddy of mine found the store about a month and a half ago ....i had to get one cuz i felt there would be no more ...and they really are a super good engine after its all said and done

yeh i saw that ..the info on neobuggy was from 3 days ago ...hoping horizon has some unpacking to do

Not to bash it but that online store looks kinda fishy.

For those that haven't read the SUPER HOT PRESS RELEASE from Horizon!

"For those of you still running GRP engines in the US, Horizon recently contacted us to let us know that after GRP's exit from the engine business, Horizon purchased the remaining inventory of engines, parts, glowplugs etc. So rest assured there is a good supply of parts available to continue running these engines. Simply visit Horizon's website, and type "GRP engine parts" in the search box for an up to date list of what's in stock"

Horizon updated the site and it is a joke.

Overpriced crap that is available everywhere. I dont need shims at full retail or cooling heads at full retail. A blatant advertisement full of lies meant to sell some of the crap inventory-Nothing more!

This is the line that kills me "So rest assured there is a good supply of parts available to continue running these engines"

No Engines
No piston/sleeve combos
No conrods
No piston pins

I called Horizon the minute thier offices opened on Monday and ohh man did I get some BS. They cant even service a warranty claim and when I asked how they were going to fix a brand new out of box issue. Suddenly disconnected-shocking.

This was a product that they pushed and they recommended.

Yes, buyer beware but come on. I dont care if a bomb went off in the factory. There were never enough support parts manufactured period.

So how are we to "rest assured"

I just won an auction for used piston and conrod. I care most about the conrod. One over heated run or a good pinch, will jeopardize the integrity of the con rod and I need atleast a couple gallons to warrant my investment.

Yes, buyer beware:
I talked to a few of the losi pros and sponsered GRP drivers. Like what I heard, got 3 motors delivered and the next day-wham-Drake gone?

Heck, Team Losi's site still has "tune your GRP like a pro by ADAM DRAKE!!
http://www.losi.com/Articles/Article...ArticleID=1897

As a supplier and company that contracted for a product- It is there responsibility to have parts support covered and if not:

They need to offer the ones that have that product(s) some sort of restitution. At minimum, pull the molds and have a few conrods molded out.

I guarentee you that Associated made sure that their engine makers of the new Reedy motors had more than 2 Conrods available for repair.

Why is it the rest of the Losi motors have matching components with parts availibility?

Yes, I have Hotbodies listed on my signature for Nitro but was a supporter and user of Losi electric products.
Up to today was going to purchase 8ight E and the new strike. Not a frickin chance of that happening now.

Sorry for venting. I can afford to lose a 1000.00. It sucks but I wont starve that is not the same for alot of my friends and co racers.

This is not a fair way of doing business and sweeping it under the "burning" carpet. I was hurt but up to that announcement from Neobuggy did I get **ssed!

I honestly think that it is time that we post our unhappiness with Losi and Horizon as the consumer.

That was you that won that GRP auction. I was bidding on that.

it is run by ofna ...and yes i too thought fishy ...but in reality its not ....like i say i know several people who ordered and got there stuff as promised ...including my self .....take it for what its worth ...figured somebody might need one

then dont order, but i too ordered from them and received confirmation emails from ofna and received exactly what i ordered and they even refunded me some money that had been overpaid after the shipping was refigured.

hey guys do you know if i have to remove any shims in a untuned grp .21? I just got one at a great price NIB and the engine bearing already went!! i was told not to use nitrotane. So i did and after a gallon...rear bearing went.

Well i want to run 20% like i always have, but just want to make sure my head clearance it good. Thanks guys!!

i use nitrotane in my grp, the bearings are fine....one has 9 gallons on it...

the key is using quality afterrun....i use yamalube storage oil...it is foaming oil, the best i have found....

Will heating up my engine with a heat gun lower the amount of time spent "warming it up" to get rid of the richness?

^ Yes.

I preheat my engines to around 160 (and let them saturate at that temp before firing) before every run.

Loooooong sleeve life thus far. Also makes them easier to start

Well guys I just sold my tuned .21.I came across fthobbies.com and as far as I can tell they have some tuned rods.I didn't purchase one,but it would let me place one in my buggy without saying it was backordered.And only 59.99 also.So if you guys are lucky they just might have some.Hope this helps

can sameone till me if we can get a other con rod for this motor 21 or can sameone try other con rods for us plz

i tired searching the thread but could find a answer...

what shims should i run with 20% nitro? right now i have one silver, and one copper shim....
