[South Seas Towers]

I have a 2010 RXV, lifted with 23" A/T tires, with 1.5 year old Trojans. It's been a great buggie with no issues until now.
I was easing around the pond at my house shooting snakes. I let off the gas, coasted to a stop, shot the snake .When I pressed the pedal it moved but was at a slow crawl. About 10 minutes later I tried it and worked fine. Let off the gas and back on - Slow crawl again and has been since. I was looking for loose wires & discovered a loose (+) connection (slightly melted the post / but Voltage looks good individually and total). Tightened it and checked the others- no change, disconnected the power, let it sit for a few hours reconnected it- no change. Was told to take the brake off , set it in the bag storage, but leave it connected and be careful, did that- no change. Friend hooked it to his programmer and says, best he can tell it's the Motor or controller. From what I have read neither of those goes out too often and are too pricey to playing with. I was told to check the speed sensor but mine has the old style & not sure how to test it or if you can. Does anyone know how to test the sensor or have any other advise this issue? Thanks for your help
