Running Cart Without Resistor Coil?

leotech

I picked up two 3-wheel golf carts. EZ-Go/Cushman. I've cleaned and rebuilt the motor, replacing the wiring, etc. Last item that I have is the resistor coil. Since mine is in very poor condition, I was going to replace it. Resistor route will be a cheap option than a speed controller however has anyone just removed the coils and wire it "one-speed"? The original 5-position speed board is pretty rusty and will require some spit to get it clean.

Yes, it would most likely be a jerky ride at startup (kinda like Disneyland rides!) and I figured something will break, gearbox or motor with the startup surge.

Thanks,
Curtis

It will eventually (quickly) ruin the motor splines or the splines in the rear end... EXTREMELY hard on equipment.
