Alltrax DCX500 Install
My son and I completed the install- late last night of a new DCX500 PDS that Santa brought me. We initially had the diode reversed and the controller went through initial diagnostics fine- ended up with a solid green LED. When we jumped in for a spin, the cart lurched but stopped and the LED went off.
I found a post here (from scottyb- Thanks by the way!) that listed the correct diode install and we had it opposite. After we switched it, off we go . Can I say 'SWEET'! Not much top end speed improvement but the torque you feel when you hit the accelerator is a huge improvement over stock! I'm taking the beast to the woods tonight for New Years Eve and will report later. Here is my 2006 EZGO PDS' new specs: Alltrax DCX500PDS limited to 80% output (purchased for future upgrades) MZJ400 36V Solenoid 3 amp diode 220 ohm pre-charge resistor 2 Gauge Cables throughout Stock Motor I'll post pictures after I 'pretty' the install with wire ties etc... HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone on BGW!!! |

Re: Alltrax DCX500 Install
Good Job. I'd like to see pic's of your setup. I just did the same install on my 07 PDS. Also would like to here your report after the woods trial. I haven't got to play with mine yet.

Re: Alltrax DCX500 Install
Pictures as promised. I'm very pleased with my controller upgrade from stock to the DCX500 especially the additional torque. I spent most of New Years Eve in the woods in lots of rain & mud- my stock controller would have stopped from thermal overload more than once last night.
The beast chugged through the mud without a hitch . |

Re: Alltrax DCX500 Install
KC- I'd like to have it if you're willing to part with it.
How are you fabricating this stuff are you using a mill or some kind of router set-up? Very professional looking stuff! |
