Re: (ET) Alltrax Controllers and speeds

["john briese" <goodguyforsure hotmail com>]

What a step back that would be.... Have had my alltrax for better part of 
the summer and I love it.  It now works like anything else with a throttle, 
more is faster...without steps! And I get instant direction changes without 
having to even lift off the throttle. And thus far..no maintenance. I can't 
wait till pushing snow. In cold weather I used have to wait between forward 
and reverse..some relay somewhere didn't like the cold.
