2011 48v TXT controller/speed question

Jt936 · 05-17-2023, 08:14 PM

I’ve got a 2011 48v txt with a stock Curtis controller (1206HB-5201). I’m getting about 12mph out of it and looking to upgrade speed. I don’t have an ezgo dealer very close and want to refrain from trailering my cart somewhere to get freedom mode programmed. If I buy a used controller with freedom mode already unlocked will I be able to replace the current controller and get the 19mph speeds? What options do I have for achieving freedom mode without trailering my cart several hours?
New here and new to golf carts. Apologies as I know this is a typical question. Just looking for some options and clarification.

A TXT Freedom controller will say Freedom on the label. Saying it's already in freedom mode. You can ship your controller to someone who can program your controller for you. You can also buy another controller that is already in Freedom mode and just replace your old controller.

You can also get an Alltrax controller for 22-23 mph and increased power.

Does an Alltrax controller beat Navitas? Or are they pretty much the same capability wise?

If Navitas would publish their output tests like Alltrax does we would know.

Given same batteries and same motor, most good controllers should give about the same maximum performance.

I use my cart primarily for golf so I’m not looking to go super fast. But the 12.5mph I’m getting on a stock controller is tough. Hoping to buy an Curtis controller already programmed for freedom mode for 19mph and plug and play for my cart if at all possible

You can use the ezgo passkey. There was a guy that used to rent one out on here.

I see there's a 1206HB-5201 controller on Marketplace I'll ask if it's still available.
