Default Navitas controller any good?

I have a 2014 EZGO TXT 48v PDS Cart that I want to take up to 400 Amps.

Is the Navitas 420-Amp controller good?

Do I need to replace the dash F/R switch?

Thanks for your input.

Not much help here, but never used navitas. It might not be a helpful answer, but it's an answer. In your case, I have always used an Alltrax. Worked well, and has many more options now than it did last time I did one. Check out ScottyBs site for info and a deal on their newest thing WWW.CARTSUNLIMITED.NET . Alltrax has great support around the web for the fine tuning, and ScottyBs support as a seller can't be beat (who else will answer your questions on the weekend?). Try to find that with a Navitas....

On my first build i used an alltrax 48500. I spent the entire weekend troubleshooting it with the help of Scottyb. On Monday alltrax confirmed that my new controller was bad. They made me purchase a new one before they would ship it, which I was not happy about. I felt they shlukd have overnighted a replacement at their expense with a return shipping label. Once installed though I was happy with it and extremely happy with Scottyb' s support. When time came for my second build, I chose a Navitas controller due to Alltrax poor response to my problems. After my install including the on the fly controller, my cart would not run. I spent the weekend trying to get it straightened out and finally learned thst the on the fly controller was bad. The company sent a replacement with a return label without any questions. The new OTF replacement was DOA as well. At that point I removed it all and went back to the stock controller. 2 months later I am still waiting for them to credit my PayPal account. If i were to do it again, I'd use an alltrax from Scottyb.

Thanks for your honest review.
Generally speaking in mass produced electronics there will be a less than 0.5% failure rate. It's not common but it happens. I have been an Alltrax dealer for 10 years in that time I have seen a company that goes above and beyond any customer service in any product.
A majority of their product is installed by do-it-yourselfers who have never worked on DC electronics before and frankly have no clue where + and - is on their cart. Installer caused problems are 10 times more common than manufacture problems.
Alltrax keeps 2 extremely qualified and helpful technicians on the phone M-F to aid in sorting out your install. They will replace defective units for up to 2 years after the sale. Nobody else does this... And nobody else makes a unit with reverse polarity protection with higher peak and sustained outputs than anybody else.

I've installed around 20 controllers in the last 2-3 years, all Alltrax except a couple being regen 1 & 2 club cars that I couldn't find an Alltrax replacement for. I've only had one failure. Scottyb and Alltrax' s customer support was awesome. I'm an Alltrax fan all the way, and they are usually cheaper than Navatis anyway.
