Alltrax vs Upgrading from Curtis 1204 to 1205?

jakehanl · 10-30-2018, 03:21 PM

What's the opinion here regarding upgrading my current Curtis 1204 to a higher amperage Curtis 1205; versus going with an Alltrax?

I think you will find the community unanimously sold on Alltrax Speed controls.

Alltrax has free, user friendly software. All you need is a PC (windows) and a USB printer cable. Alltrax has some nice features like reverse polarity protection and throttle auto cal. Good reputation for customer support.
For price comparison make sure to compare apples to apples. (new to new)
Rebuilt controllers aren't really rebuilt, just repaired.
Not nocking Curtis. Good controllers. Alltrax just easier to live with if you want adjustability.

See post #2

edit: Also, when reading through the forum, don't conflate series and sepex carts. They are different animals. Don't expect a speed increase with a higher amp controller alone on a series cart like what happens on sepex carts.
