Thumbs down

BTW, it looks like LRP has quitely scraped their 25year waranty on the latest SXX ?

What a shame, this was the very thing that made LRP worth the extra money. Did they think they can scrap it and still sell their ESCs as expensive?

Can someone confirm this is the case (Darren?) ?

Where did you hear that? News to us if they have, every unit we have in stock still has the 25 year warranty label with it.

They did abolish the "Lifetime Warranty" a while back for some "legal reasons" and had to re-word it as 25 years.....

And as Budfish rightly adds the warranty does only cover the "original" purchaser not the 2nd owner onwards (which is why they require the proof of purchase to prove your name is the name on the store receipt when it was first brought)

It was the SXX I was referring too, just checked the instructions included in my own personnal one and it states the warranty is "90 days (for non european countries only)", no referance to it being any different to normal for the UK (whose law I thought ensured it was longer anyway ??? 1 year ???)
