lol. Yeah. It's all in the wording. I hadn't seen your post until after I talked to him on the phone. You nailed it.

Thanks to you all. I found the problems I was having were the result of wear on the accelerator linkage arm. I used some 1/4" ID braided tubing around the forward most fork of the MCOR arm. Immediately I got my torque and acceleration back. Total cost: $0.39

For the record, Dave Hicks (TahoeDawg) from Revolution was really helpful. I ended up ordering all the new replacement parts for my accelerator - all parts new cost about $40.

Thread De-Rail,....and a little off topic,.... BUT,...... What is the best controller for the $$,.....to be used in conjunction with the PQ Bandit motor ?

FWIW,.... Mine is the stock 225amp unit.

I'm actually interested in this same question so I don't mind the derail at all!

I like my Curtis 350 amp. It is a direct swap no changes need. Big difference in performance.

ALLTRAX 400 amp with stock motor!

So does that replace the controller which is currently in place? What's involved in the installation? Assume this is a body off project?

Both the Curtis and the Alltrax are good options.

I'm just wrapping up an Alltrax 400 controller install with HD solenoid. If I was not converting to lithium, adding lights, stereo, gauges, charging port, voltage reducer, etc., it would have been done in one evening. No need to remove the body but you do need to remove some lead! The controller plugs right in with only a couple of wire terminations that need to be converted from spade to ring. They even supply the ring terminals. Easy peazy lemon squeezy!

Thanks. Where do you mount it?
