Re: (ET) Alltrax controller question

I checked, and these have enough range in motion to match up well with the 
disc that operates the switches.  You would only have about 1/2 throttle 
in reverse, but usually you don't need full speed backwards;-)

I got the pots on ebay.  I was shocked to find some, and the right value, 
too.
