thanks! I received the new controller a couple days ago
i will wait till the weekend to work on it, and make sure every connection is super tight
i noticed that the controller box is way too small.. when I try to use it, connections pop open
i will either modify the box, or find something else
if all else fails,... I will contact you later this summer to see what I might be able to use instead, just with the battery I have... I have already spent a lot, and have to save up a bit
