Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
My Alltrax AXE 400 is sick(probably dead).
So my question is, I have my old 36v controller. Can I replace my 48v controller with the 36v controller and just disconnect the 2 extra batteries? I have the 48v solenoid, 400ohm resistor, HD FnR switch. 8-6v batteries. |

Re: Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
That would work but I think the resistor may need to change based on the two value resistors ScottyB posts on his web site.
Sorry for your problems in the other thread, I just sold an Alltrax controller and shipped it yesterday. I was going to post up and let you know but the diagnosis was not complete yet. |

What plum quick motor do you have? I know on some of their motors they recommend 48volts min.

Re: Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
not all 48v solenoids will operate on 36v. Which one do you have? I hate to see you do this ...... down grading is never a good option.

Re: Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
I have the Bandit. It is a 36-48v motor.
scotty, I'm not sure which one I have, it came with the upgrade kit I got from you. since your kits change, I know that is not much help. I will see if I can find a picture of it(since I'm not home). I dont want to do this either, but since I'm about to be furloughed, I can't afford any extra until this is all over. |

Re: Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
With the bigger tires and the kid driving it I suspect it will smoke the stock controller. Maybe just sell it needing a controller?

Re: Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
Here is the solenoid. I hope it helps.
The kid will have very limited access until this is corrected. But momma can drive it to the store. Selling it is on the table |

Re: Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
Thanks scottyb.
I found the old controller. However it has 4 cable connections. the Alltrax has 3. Also the Alltrax has spade connections, but the old controller has pins and I think it used to have a molded connection. Yep I dont have that. Hopefully I can find a fix for this so I can verify that the controller is the issue. Then I can move forward. |

Re: Replacing a 48V controller with 36v controller
Does anyone know the pin/wire layout for the molded connection?
I am gonna have to make individual connections for each wire and I dont know what wire goes to which pin on the controller |
