No breaks rust corrosion etc.
The Curtis 1206SX (DCX) was a flawed controller since it has no under-voltage protection and more or less self destructs when operated with deeply discharged battery pack.

When it gives up the ghost, replace it with an Alltrax DCX300 or DCX400 controller. The DCX300 is a direct replacement and a DCX400 will give you more low end torque, both are Plug-n-Play replacements.

You might have a motor problem (bad brushes?).
