Welcome Hawgs!!

Yes!, you got a good deal.

The Regen (Regenerative Breaking) can be identified by a Rocker Switch on top of a small box. It changes the direction of travel, hence F-N-R

This model is the closest sister to the IQ car which is like the Regen but has much more computer to change the effects of the cars running and operation. It can be identified by a rocker switch on top of a small box also, however, the IQ model will have a Plug-In type Jack on the bottom side of the box with a plastic cover to cover the jack. This jack is to plug in a programer to make adjustments and settings of the computer.

The old style, Non Regen, Forward & Reverse control is a knob on a rod and a large rotating switch assembly. These types of cars and associated motors are being phased out by golf car manufacturers. It's this model that has been so sought after for so long.

With the new technology from the Regen up, and the IQ cars, the ability to modify these cars and their motors & controlers has been enhanced to the point that they are in demand and getting more so all the time because they can be "tricked out" as easily as the Non Regen carts were. They are the newest and fastly becoming more plentiful.
