Navitas 600A RXV Controller vs Curtis 350A
I've read countless posts, particularly with esteemed BobBoyce that show that the Curtis controllers (including 235A) are actually more powerful than the Navitas, of course this requires his wizardry and custom programming, something that unless you're on the East Coast is harder to come by.
Regardless, with my 23" setup and recent issues, I need to move to getting a new controller, and relatively quickly. The Navitas is compelling because: 1. Readily available for <$1,000 compared to the 350A Curtis which is more like $1,500, and none are on sale/second hand right now. 2. OFP is nice especially since when my son gets older, I'd want the ability to limit the speed. Even with some of my friends, being able to put the cart into a reasonable but not outrageous mode has a TON of merit. 3. Bluetooth monitoring is nice for someone who would never buy a handheld I'm not looking for max performance, I just want reliability. I'm happy with 25-30 mph, not trying to get the most, but I want reliability, I don't want to blow out controller or other parts. I’m guessing there’s no issue of overcurrents and the issues the 23”+235A have with the Navitas? With all that said, would the Navitas 600A be a good solution for me? I did just put the ACDC 2AWG kit in, and I understand this to be more or less plug and play. |

Re: Navitas 600A RXV Controller vs Curtis 350A
Same boat here. I’d love to have Bob Boyce program mine. I’d even pay well.
But I’ve had no luck making that happen, I’m in Seattle. So I’m starting to eye that Navitas even though I’ve come to the conclusion it’s not the best and maybe not even super reliable. |

Re: Navitas 600A RXV Controller vs Curtis 350A
Thanks for the suggestions, but yeah choices are more limited here. There's a lot to like on paper about the Navitas 600A including OFP, availability, etc, but few people with RXVs have them. It'd be great to hear from someone who has had one for some time and not rely on a bunch of dated beta posts.
Ideally I can find a Freedom 350A and wait tirelessly for Bob to make it to Texas, but may give the Navitas a try. That said, I did find someone in Florida selling an FSIP remanufacturerd 350A with a 6 month warranty (which states warranty valid for OEM use, whatever that means). Unclear on the quality of re manufactured ones, would feel better about a new one. |

Bob is no longer offering mail in services, you've got to catch him "On Tour". ;)
