will the hunting buggie pkg help battery life , hurt it or stay the same

You will have the ability to pull more amps accelerating or climb hills faster. Losses go up with speed - rolling resistance and wind resistance. In theory, as long as you drive exactly the same as before - yeah right - you should see about the same results. One motor may be a little bit more efficient at the driving conditions you use most often.

My batteries were nine years old and I went from stock controller at 36 volts to 500 amp controller with eight T-105s, so I couldn't really do a side by side comparison.

I just received my hunting buggie pkg ... I ordered 3/8s lugs but I really don't want to mess with the new cables ... I have 2g cables that I just put on ...can I drill the existing cable lugs to 3/8in ?

You're talking about the two for the solenoid? I'd drill them, but you probably end up with slightly less metal. Will it matter? Feel them for excess heat. I'm guessing you won't notice.

If you've never drilled out copper lugs like you're talking about, I'd suggest a big vice and a brace and bit, if you have one. Very slow if you don't.

Ditto what Yurtle said. When trying to drill a lug oversized drill bit will grab big time and if not ready will twist drill in your hand.
A dull drill bit helps as does using a tapered reamer helps.
Coppers soft,go slow😊

did it ... dead center ... worked nicely but bolts arent long enough to mount the controller so i have to go to the lumber yard tomorrow
