Default Question about the Alltrax npx 4844???

The company that I am gonna order the 4844 from has the plug breaking option. My 97' TXT series cart has a 4 lug controller instead of 3 lugs. Do I need the plug breaking option? Here is a picture of my current controller.

Is that a DCS cart?

From Alltrax:
"Overview
Plug braking, also referred to as dynamic braking, is a
safe way to slow down a vehicle with a series motor
when the motor direction is reversed. Without plug
braking, if the operator reverses direction while the
vehicle is in motion the armature will lock up. When the
vehicle comes to a halt, then the motor will reverse
direction. Reversing the current to the armature while
moving causes the armature to lock up with violent and
potentially dangerous consequences for the motor,
controller and operator."


Mine is a yes Vote. I am curious where you are buying your controller?

Best price I could find was Cloud Electric. $239.00 for the NPX 4844 +$29.00 for plug breaking. I wish I could find it cheaper.

What is the advantage of the programmable?

I mean would your average golf car owner even use it or would it just be for those die hard golf car folks trying to squeeze all the performance they could out of something?

Average person will never need the program feature, especially if you just was a replacement controller and nothing else.

I don't know what the speed braking feature is? Never had that as an option on a non programmable before. That's a good price - ours is $21.04 more, but it includes the fuse.
