    I just bought a very lightly used WP40. It came with an extra white adapter with a dial to reduce the power. The dial on the stock controller reduces the frequency of the pulse. Between the two there is a surprising amount of control. I did also buy the RA cable, but haven't had time to program it with the controller.

    How long did it take to get it. I think my wife just ordered me one for Father's Day and I've been wanting one for a while now. I am super excited now.
    I can see how you felt like a kid. I know I do.

    alot of people were upset when they got the wp25 because Jeabo told everyone it would have a controler with speed control. They fell behind so the updated controllers did not roll out. FS is offering an updated version for it looks like now $10 that pretty much will just cover shipping from Hong Kong. Email thier customer service or check their site. I'm following both 25 and 40 threads on RC

    Alex, so if I ordered the pump like let's say, 5 min ago. Is it possible it will have the new controller. Because its official, my wife just ordered it!

    Yeah Will, it probably does.

    Jerry. Thats just an adjustable resistor and does pretty much the same job. I would suggest breaking out a multimeter and marking the levels because under 15v can damage the controller and potentially add heat to the pump.. I got one a couple months ago in preparation to getting a wp pump, then chickened out. If I get some Ill use my reefangel.

    Diverdan, I ordered mine on june 5th and got shipped on the 6th, since I got it yesterday that puts the travel time exactly at 7 days from shipping date. Rather quickly considering its coming from their hong Kong warehouse.

    Alex, thanks for the info. I will look that thread up to see the progress and email their customer service. I'll keep u updated.

    Just wrote the customer support about the controller. I wasn't aware of the new version but I hope they will ship the new one even if it costs me the $10. Will I have to ship the old one back? Nobody was mentioning that on the thread on that other place.
    I am very happy with my purchase though. :)
