Do you hear a "click" from the solenoid in the back of the car when you first press the accelerator?

Donnie Walker · 12-08-2018, 05:36 PM

Yes also I can put it up on jacks and it will run for a long time but put it back on ground and me in it and it does this

Sounds like low voltage. Have you checked the battery pack voltage with a multimeter?

Donnie Walker · 12-08-2018, 05:46 PM

No i do not have one They are brand new batteries not saying that couldn’t be the problem but I will get one and check

Check the voltage and post results.

Just test from the positive of the first battery to the negative of the last one headed to get meter

That is enough at 80% it should not be doing that, but to be safe, I would fully charge them and try again.
