Would a TXT controller improve power in Marathon??

royale with cheese · 07-21-2011, 10:10 PM

I have an 89 Marathon with new batteries that slows to a crawl even on shallow grades. I have the opportunity to buy a TXT for parts. Would the motor or controller from the TXT work as an upgrade??
Thanks,
Sean

Pretty sure they are not the same. TXT uses ITS throttle, I believe the marathon used 0-5k. So, the stock TXT controller wouldn't work.

That is right and ..... the marathon had a 350 amp control and the txt had a 275 or 300 depending upon the model.
