Bad Boy Buggie Parts Source
Hi, I'm new here so I apologize if this is not the right place to put this question.
I have a 2007 Bad Boy Buggy in need of a motor controller. Although it is 2 years old it only has about 50 hours "very easy" hours on it. The motor controller went out and BBs cost is $1,000. Obviously I'm not impressed with their service. Is there another source for the BB parts other than BB themself? Their prices are pretty steep! Thanks for the help. |

Re: Bad Boy Buggie Parts Source
Navitas is the controller manufacturer. DSE1000 is the OEM controller model number . A TSE1000 is the manufacturer model number. You can't use a different type controller like an Alltrax without completely re-wring the whole thing. Not a simple task because of the dual motors. I just happen to have DSE1000 sitting here right in front of me. (Big nasty GREEN controller)
I'm not even sure if an Alltrax will handle BOTH motors. The TSE is a 1000 amp controller. Kelly controller makes some high am controllers but you'd still have to re-wire the whole thing. "IF" you happen to buy a new DSE or TSE you will also need the programmer to set the controller up. Thats another $400. You MIGHT be able to get someone to set it up for you. http://navitastechnologies.com/wound.html There are companies who can rebuild them but rebuilt controllers don't have a good reputation. The controller used to be under a different name. Something like SRE325...aka SRE controls. |

Re: Bad Boy Buggie Parts Source
So, if I buy a new controller it has to be programmed?
Is it common for these controllers to fail this fast? Can they be repaired? |

This is a time where it might be best to visit a BBBuggy dealership with a service department...
It does sound like Roady89 has a controller you need, though? |

Again, this buggy has less than 50 hours on it in 2 years. I would think a controller should last longer than that. What makes this device go bad? Thanks for the help. |
