95' fleet ezgo FnR wires Hot under load

tunnelmike

Hey guy's , i'm still having the same problem of the wires from the FnR switch to the motor getting extremely hot when in the thick mud or steep hills i sometimes have to deal with where we hunt.
The cart is an EZ Go '95 fleet, 4ga wires, hd swich mods and solinoid, D&D torque motor,alltrax 650, 22" mudbusters with a 6" lift. The problem seems to be worse since i went from the 400 axe and the raptor motor to the D&D torque motor and the 650. Could be the problem is getting worse with time and not the swap.

Even with brand new 4ga wires and all clean connections no change. I rebuilt the FnR switch 3 years ago but all i remember with the kit was the buss bars and contacs, i dont remember any springs or other things.

Can the FNR switch just be worn out ? It is most likely from 1995. Do I need 2ga wires ? The swap to an electric cart from the 4 wheeler is no improvement if we get out smelling like burnt plastic !! Thanks for the help Mike

Definitely go to #2 cables and a complete new F&R with HD Switch Cam.

I am using new ultra cool buss bars in my switch cams. They are made from ultra conductive alloys in a heat dissipating design. Tests show a 20% reduction in heat.

Do you think that the FnR switch is the problem based on the heat bieng in the wires between the FnR and the motor ? Do you sell the switch and wires Scotty ? Thanks for the quick response, Mike

I had a cart in my shop last summer. Big 11 hp motor and 42v 450 amp controller. People smelled burning plastic... but cart would run... A laser thermometer revealed that a combination of small cables and the stock F&R were to blame. When I replaced the undersized wires and installed my ultra cool switch cam the temps dropped dramatically. We used a very long steep hill for temp tests. I do sell the custom switch cams and custom cable sets. Contact me via email or PM.
