I had a HD chrome molly mast as well.

The mast clamp on mine slipped after 6 months. I took it down and tightened the
bolts again with blue thread locker this time and 4 months later it slipped
again. I think the the problem is I used a chrome moly mast that the clamp
could not bite into. Your mileage may vary.
I cant comment on the controller since I have never owned the stock one.
Thanks

It works great! I had it on a TH7 with a XM240 above it on a 70' Rohn 45.
Stock mast clamp. NEVER did it slip in the 14 years I had it up.
I'm puzzled why you would think the mast clamp and controller are junk?

I went with the M2 Orion 2800 rotor. It fits in the tower completely. It has
been up for 3 years with a SteppIR DB36 with a NN4ZZ tilt plate. This is a
very heavy combo, I have not had a bit of trouble.
