It is what I have. I’ve done the software tweak, swapped for 20” wheels, and get 22 currently.

You are maxed out with your stock controller. It has 3 settings for acceleration (lo-med-hi). And speed settings up to 19 mph (which actually gets 22mph with your larger tires). The software options are very limited in comparison to the software menus available in the Curtis controller. And there is no way to put the Curtis software in a Danaher.

I also suggest avoiding high speed gears for more speed. It can very easily cause motor & controller overheating. (I can put it into thermal cutback within 5 minutes, by just stopping & accelerating repeatedly).

Thanks for this info! Super helpful. Welp, moving over to classifieds.....”for sale, 2009 Rxv”......

Jk. I’ll sell this to a buddy between now and the new year and be on the lookout for a newer RXV with Curtis controller. Am I reading right to not buy anything pre-2012.5? If so, how do I know which 2012’s are ok?

Will I get any better performance with an upgraded cable kit or should I not even bother?

If you look under your seat, on the controller/passenger side, you will see a plastic cover with tow/run switch, then a aluminum cover with a sensor on it and slots cut in it. On a Curtis controller rxv, the metal portion will be powder coated black. Also, the front cover of a Curtis controller is black, not grey like a Danaher controller.

What year does the Curtis controller show up?
Also just refreshing the question on which cable set is good. Is 2/0 needed?

cgtech · 11-10-2019, 03:24 PM

2012.5 model year. I believe production switched over in Feb 2012. (So dealers wouldn't have seen any Curtis for a little while after that). 4 awg cables are ok, 2 awg is better.

Ok. Is it fair to assume I can’t just drop a Curtis controller into a 2009 or 2010?

Scratch that, I just saw you already answered this.

Wait-you spoke to a software overwrite, but not a physical swap from Danaher to Curtis.

09-10 is danaher controller. There is a conversion kit but new harness and not plug and play.
