For even more fun playing!

The Control Unit is the heart of a new accessory series with the easier operability and playing facilities to be extended. It unfolds its full potential, however, only in combination with the other accessories such as Driver display, position-tower and pit lane (or Pit-Stop adapter if you want to replace an old Pit Stop Lane). There is also a fancy start-Light, which however does not include other features. Allegedly is already a new lap counter for the year 2012 in preparation. If you want to have all the accessories, but you have to invest a lot of money, especially since every driver needs its own driver display.

However, there are alternatives. So you can for example the software Cockpit XP fetch the data from the control unit to the computer and thus has a complete overview of position, and times when using the new pit lane (or Pit-Stop Adapter) also tank levels of individual vehicles. Driver displays, position-Tower and also the current lap counters are superfluous.

I especially like the new Real-tank mode, go in the cars with a full tank slowly and have a longer stopping distance. It is clearly noticeable that improves with decreasing tank the acceleration and the braking effect increases.
Another plus is that when the Control Unit and the old wireless handhelds from the Pro-X time can be used.

The control unit is well made and works flawlessly for me. The bumping of vehicles to the built-in rail diodes, as reported in some forums, I can confirm Carrera vehicles at any of the tested Original. But if you so many distance-plate sets with the magnets that these already grinding on the busbar or other tire rearing, it can certainly come to this effect. To get straight to the point: The diodes actually protrude slightly, but with my CU they are not higher than the busbar and also slightly higher.

Who wants to have more fun, you should consider purchasing here absolutely!
