I suggest we pick apart a manufacturers controller as to why it would make this thread. Such as my experience has been the contractors on the Galaxies are undersized and fail prematurely. Make good choices, JKH

Supposed to be fixed with a new version board but still hearing it happening with new version boards. Also Traction relation on the MX machines is horrible. Rope slippage will get much worse with time also. Accel & Decel rates have to be slowed to prevent slippage. Would not recommend this product for my Garage Door. lol!!
