WillyChang 1812 Posted October 22, 2002 Looks unfamiliar... did Tamiya repackage the CPR for TT01? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyby 0 Posted October 23, 2002 Looks like your right Willy, but i can't see any writing on it to confirm it. Is it sitting on the steering servo?, if so it must be quite thin, at first i thought it was big but if this is right then wow. Still a bit wide though ! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njmlondon 570 Posted October 24, 2002 Are CPRs worth buying? They seem expensive and ridiculously hard to buy in the UK. My 959 does not fit a CPR, but I am thinking of getting a new Tamiya like the F201 - do you reckon it is worth finding one for something like that? noel njm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're impossible to fix, wouldn't bother unless someone gave you one free. F201 is cramped but you can easily still fit a tiny RX and tiny ESC in that 2 sq-in spot, the wonders of modern electronics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyby 0 Posted October 24, 2002 hey willy[], there are benefits of living in the uk, my m8 has got a friend who he can send any broken cpr aswell as other old esc's to fix[8D], he's really good on price aswell[], but all the cpr's i've used have never broke.[] I'm fitting a cpr160 in my F201, but thats because i have it spare , even a 100 would do for the sport tuned. don't want to have to put my micro stuff in unless it starts to get used alot and racing gets serious[]. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1812 Posted October 24, 2002 Ya, I know there's a few guys who are cluey enough to fix RC electronics (and I've made friends of most of them down here!) but the old CPR units used to be "potted". Imagine the usual electronics on the board, now just cover every inch & crevice with epoxy then close the lid. Made the unit very robust, less chance of impact & water damage etc etc. But also makes it impossible to fix, as unless you try to chip the epoxy off there's no way to touch anything on the board. Unless anyone has a better idea these days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
