Question:
Hi What electric brakes are compatible with the RF prodigy? I have a RF unit and want to convert my electric hydraulic hydrastar to electric.

The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller is compatible with all electric drum brakes. However, it is not compatible with electric over hydraulic actuators like your Hydrastar unit. If you were to add electric brake assemblies to your trailer using wiring like # 10-1-1 to wire the brake magnets, then the Prodigy RF unit will be compatible. If you want a brake controller that is compatible with Electric Over Hydraulic units that is wireless, I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180. I've attached a couple videos to assist.
If you have 12 inch drums, then I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. This will have a 5 bolt mounting flange.
If you have 10 inch drums with the 4 bolt mounting flange then I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA.
