Vintage LRP le 25 AMS ESC

[blueracerRC]

Hey,
just wondering who has used or owns an LRP Le 25 AMS ?
Were they a super low volume ESC from LRP only given to team drivers ? I have been looking for one for a while now and they don't often come up for sale.

I am building a Tamiya Dynastorm / TRT211x replica - I think it would look great to use an early 90's LRP Electronic esc and Magic motor in my build.

It was LRPs first ESC, and LRP wasa small company back then with limited sales outlets. The LE 25 AMS was available to buy, and I know some people who had one, but with the price being the equivalent of around £300 today when here in the UK you could buy from the big UK brands of Mtroniks, Nosram and Demon for less money with better after service, than buy from a niche European company. The LRP was proven by winning several Euro champs and national races so was a good choice for top racers that didn't already have a sponsorship deal with any of the big names, although it didn't attract much interest in the UK for the average racer when the top drivers were winning with other brands of ESC.
