Hey Jordan i got an update from MGM about the brakes on the controller. Apparently they have been having a problem with people hooking the system up and instead of switching wires to get the motor to run the correct way they simply reverse revoloutions on the controller. They said this is why they are having brake problems. I havent had time to give it a try yet but might get a chance this weekend.
Thats good to hear, i actually did reverse the controller instead of switching the wires to get it spinning the right way, maybe thats why the brakes were dodgy, looking forward to hearing about your results!
