Default China knockoff controller

Anyone have any knowledge if these Chinese controllers are any good. I have a street legal golf cart and I’ll just be driving around town.

I installed one last week on an old Melex that a guy wanted running as cheap as possible. It works. That's about all I can say about it right now. Looks identical to the curtis.

I know, they said it’s programmable too. I’m thinking about trying it.

You have to have a 1313-4301 to program it. I have the 3301, and it wouldn't program it, just diagnose. It works, just don't know the durability just yet. The guy wanted it running cheap as possible because the cart wasn't worth much more than the controller, so I decided to give one of them a try.

I considered getting one for my 93 marathon. But decided against it. So I'd like to see how people made out. I balked mainly because if there were issues I'd be kinda screwed for support. But I'd like to find out how reliable they are.

Responses I've recieved have been all over the place. One common theme has been, if you are not pushing them anywhere near to the current limit and are not needing the missing advanced features, they perfom fine. But in cases where the rated current is required (like climbing hills or pushing large tires) and you do need the advanced teatures, don't buy a chinese clone of a Curtis controller.
