motor/controller

Hedger

I have this motor, MFR P/N 5bc49jb1149, that is a yamaha high speed motor. It was in a wrecked ezgo along with it's controller. The motor is good but I need to replace the controller. What kind of controller will work with it and where do I get it? Will good instructions come with it?

Use an XCT control to fit the cart you are installing this in, be it a G22 or a TXT/PDS. Use 400a for stock tires and flat ground. Or use 500a for bigger tires, added passengers, or hills, all of which increase the motor work load. You should ask whoever you get the controller from to program it for this motor. What controller did they have with it?

Hedger

controller on it was P/N RX54-FX503.

Hedger

from "flight systems industrial products"

XCT48500PDS is what I would use.

thanks scottyb. not sure i need one quite that big though. not gonna lift it or even put a back seat on it. just going to play golf. is there a smaller alternative that will work or should i stick with the big one? Also wondering if i could just get the one that was on it re-built.

Skip the "rebuilt controller" nonsense, its throwing away money better spent on a new one. A 300a (stock size) controller will give only so-so results with that high performance motor. At least get a Alltrax 400a controller. Just a guess, but does your plan of playing golf include trips to & from the course plus neighborhood street use? If so, a 400a controller is your best $ spent. That motor is a great street/golf motor, you will be pleased with it. I have built lots of real nice G22s with it (and some Drives), and its probably my favorite for a 48v sepex yamaha for street use.

you cannot"rebuild" electronics-only repair....all non replaced parts are potential failures waiting to happen...old solder joints, diodes,ect are as old and potentially as stressed as the component that failed....

i would replace it....we see a lot of failed "rebuilt" controllers....

Hedger

Thanks for the advice. anyone forsee a problem with putting it on an ezgo pds?

Speeding tickets ?

Excessive amp draw if the course is hilly or lots of slow going is always a hazard with a high speed motor.
