Re: 1998 TXT Build Thread
I read a post on here that talked about putting the fan pointed up, then on some instructions that I got with it, it said the same thing. Look at the date of the picture, I think it is old.

Re: 1998 TXT Build Thread
Got a note back from scotty.....he told me that he had mounted his at the top so that there wasn't a dead space where leaves might collect and could hinder air flow if they got trapped in there, BUT it really makes no real difference to the controller.

Re: 1998 TXT Build Thread
I can see the logic about not getting stuff inside the controller. I am not sure how powerful the fan is, but I wonder if the airflow coming out of the "tunnel" would blow leaves out. When it is parked, the top of the controller is only a few inches below the bottom of the seat and it will be kept in the garage.

Re: 1998 TXT Build Thread
rking.....I mounted mine today....come to find out, unless you want the HIGH mounting you have to drill extra holes in the heat sink, and the LOW mounting is what ALLTRAX recommends for our carts.....so I mounted mine the same way you did.
PIC24.jpg only thing that is, I had already engraved RUN and TOW on the mount....now they are upside down....oh well, at least you know is way is which!! lol |

Re: 1998 TXT Build Thread
Looks familiar.
Also, my big cable from the engine to the controller was not long enough to cross over it I had mounted it the other way. It won't help me much to engrave run/tow on my mounting bracket because once the body is back on, I can hardly even see the switch. I do it by feel. I am jealous of the shiny red motor back there. When I decided to by one, everyone across the country is out until August. So I decided to give my original motor a second chance. |

The reason I engraved the RUN and TOW....is that I am building this cart for my nephew as his hunting cart....and he has never had a cart.....and wouldn't know any better....this way its labeled so there is no excuse for not knowing which is which. as far as the motor....I just got lucky....and got the last one available. otherwise I'd be in the same boat and would be waiting until August. |

Re: 1998 TXT Build Thread
This is my first cart also. The learning curve is steep...
Hopefully, my motor hangs in there for a while. |

Re: 1998 TXT Build Thread
I have re-installed all of the trim including rocker panels, floor mat, cup holders, bumper. I also finished covering my front seats, but I am struggling to get my rear back rest covered.
IMG_0490.jpg Today, I took apart my driver's side brake and screwed in the auto adjuster quite a bit to make it stop rubbing. It was obvious that was my problems because there was a ton of brake dust from probably not more than an hour driving. I put it back together and it no longer rubs, and it brakes better than ever. I can almost lock up the brakes now. I downloaded a speedometer app on my Iphone to see how fast the cart is. On fairly level ground it is going around 18-20 and around 14-15 up a slight incline. I drove it down a slight hill and reached 25 mph. I got my new Yewy 1200z charger today from Scotty. Sure is a lot lighter and smaller than my old one. We will see how it charges. |
