what is the best programming for an alltrax controller

mookiemoo · 07-18-2010, 11:18 AM

i have the 5021 motor and need torque to get up some steeper hills, but also wanted speed. is speed and torque opposite of each other. so, if i drop the speed down, do i increase the torque? there was no torque option on the programming software.

No ... use 100% output. That is going to give you all it can. What controller do you have?

i have the dcx500. i got the DD5021 motor with it but it still seems to slow down when going up hill. i was hoping it would be a little faster and more powerful

What is the size of the smallest cable in your battery & drive system? What is the condition of your batteries? How did you determine the battery condition? Are you still at 36v? What solenoid are you using? Is your cart DCS or PDS?

4 guage. batteries need replacement. they are 4 years old and they are exides. they do hold a charge of 36volts though. would i notice a big difference though with trojans. solenoid is a 400 amp heavy duty solenoid

The batteries could be your problem? I would load test to determine if they are strong enough to continue diagnosis ... If the batteries are weak you will slow on hills for sure

ok based on D&D's website, the most speed you are going to get on 36 volts is between 12 and 14 MPH. If you were to upgrade to 48 volts, you could see speeds between 16 and 22 MPH....... If you need new batteries anyway, it might be a good time to upgrade your voltage......

that would be great to upgrade to 48v batteries, however, isn't the motor rated for a 36 system. i would then need to change the motor as well. yes?

I have seen alot of people convert to 48 volt using D&D motors, but I would make the call to D&D to find out what they say for certain.

.... many of us run the 36v motor on 48v with great success!
