PRODUCT REVIEW THREAD... LRP DIGITAL SOLDERING STATION

mrrcguy · 10-11-2009, 09:01 PM

This is not intended to be another "which iron is best" thread.

I would like some honest reviews about this product (LRP 65800). It looks like a very nice product, but I have heard nothing about it from consumers.

Please keep on topic (LRP65800) rather than discussing other brands.

if it has a "turbo" function, I will purchase it...

j/k q ))

back on track.. I would like to hear from users about it as well... it looks interesting, and how does it compare to the other big 936 in terms of heatup and how fast it recovers during soldering.

In vegas I used Sean Cochrans at least 10 times and it was by far the nicest iron I have ever used.
He did have a different tip on his.

Ah yes, this was a concern. On the LRP website there are no replacement tips that I have seen. Also in the description it notes that the iron comes with two tips but both are very small.

I have not this soldering station but I know this one and if I had to buy one now I would go for it. For just soldering wires to the motor a lot of soldering irons may be working. But I think if you want replacing wires at the ESC what had been soldered using leadfree solder that´s where you will run into problems with nearly all "usual" soldering stations. But also this is where the LRP really shins especially if the ESC is using a very thick PCB board like the GM 90/120. There is a reason why a certain brand now is selling a soldering station looking the same as the LRP.
