it's not to say there was anything wrong with alec's system, but more due to the fact of buying anything (especially electronics) used - it's the risk one takes.
I sold the car/electronics as a package the evening that I completed the club series to Andy. I handed him the car straight after the final and as far as I know he has been using it ever since with no problems. The first I knew that he'd sold it to Craig was when I read this post.
As the club members will confirm, I won all rounds of qualifying and every final with this set up to gain maximum points for the series and the car never let me down. I can't possibly be to blame for any problems with the car/electronics after it's been sold for a second time.
As Rocketrob says, it's a risk buying anything second hand, it can fail at any time. Personally, i've had speedo's/motors blow first time out and also units that have gone on for a couple of years without problems.
I think this post should have been titled "Andy, can you help with my LRP Shark" as it was him that sold it to Craig
