Default Does this sound like a speed senor?

The cart is a DS IQ cart with a plumquick motor and a stock controller. Here is the symptom: had it out for a couple of hours last night and were cruising along when it almost felt like a downshift in a car, now it is extremely slow in forward, but seems ok in reverse. Going forward it starts to accelerate, but then backs off and won't go any faster.

Does this sound like a speed sensor on the motor?

Yep, so I will need to get a replacement from PlumQuick as they put a different magnet on to fool the sensor.
