Not sure how I feel about this unit…
The good: it’s got a pretty small footprint with 10 gauge wire and I really like that.
The not so good:
First off, the calibration process, for me, was a nightmare zone. The LED sequences with no sounds threw me off and I had to redo it at least 3 times. On top of that, once I figured out how to do it correctly I still have no reverse. Even set it all up with the program card (sold separately) and recalibrated an additional 5 times, no reverse.
Finally after about the 10th time, I got it to kick into reverse, but it took about 55 pushes of the trigger out of frustration to get it to go. Not sure what it is with this thing.
Could it be operator error? Sure. I won’t discount that, but I’ve tried and tried again. No luck. Oh well. My buggy still hauls the mail. It’s really smooth, but I’m pretty irritated I can’t get it fully calibrated.

Update on review!!! I decided to make the mistake of buying another one to see if I may have gotten a lemon the first time. I installed it, took it out for the first time yesterday, and within the first lap it caught fire. Not sure what it is with these things, but I would not sell one to my worst enemy.
