Thanks guys, but I guess no-one has actually done this. Tender is out of the question as it is packed with the Railsounds electronics.

The ERR cruise board is double the size of the original DCDS board, and mounted next to the motor. I would think the cruise lite board would be too light duty for this engine. I will get some pictures and post to see if anyone has any ideas.

Cruise Lite is rated for 4 amps. That engine likely has a Mabuchi RS-385 which has a stall current of 2.5 amps. I have used Cruise Lites in engines with two of these motors as normal cruising current is less than 2 amps. Fuse for 3 amps and no worries. Not recommending this for others but I did it to prove it could be done. Chuck I assume you meant to say DCDR or Electronic E unit as DCDS were Odyssey boards.

ERR list dimensions of their boards. Compare the Cruise Lite with what you have. It will be taller given the piggyback R2LC but length and width should be close to what you have.
