looking for a good recipe
i know one or the other will not get there but eventually with the mods in place it may
i will be upgrading the cables to either #2 or 1/0 soon
the batteries are in good cond across the board

alltrax 700 @ 80% ?
or 500 @ 100%

new motor or stock worked by PQ ?

im just learning bout these carts so bear with me
Fishman, if I had to pick one and its speed Im interested in, then definitely the PQ motor. Just with the PQ motor alone and a healthy battery pack, you'll be at 25-26mph. Thats about 10mph increase in speed from where you are at now. I dont think their is an Alltrax 700 for shunt motors. Series motors as opposed to shunt type motors do well with high amperage controllers. Shunt motors are wound with thinner wire which do not hold high amperage well. I would go with the 500amp controller due to the fact that it has a large heat sink like the 600amp Alltrax as opposed to the 400.
