Re: EZ-GO PDS Field Map #4 File
Depending on the 500, it may already be set to 400. The only way to tell is hook a computer to it. Yes, replace the solenoid. Files are in the mail. I got them from another forum member so paying it forward.

Don't go cheap on the solenoid or you will be reinvesting again in the future when you eventually do go 500 amps!

Re: EZ-GO PDS Field Map #4 File
oh boy! I hope I did ok by buying this one: "http://blockbustergolfcarts.com/36voltsolenoid120seriestowertypewithsilvercontacts 4terminalfore-z-gosystems-1.aspx". What I did notice was the price is cheaper than other places but seem to look identical to the pricier ones.

The best choice for anyone that isn't sure if they will be staying at 36V or upgrading to 42V or 48V is the 48V Super-Duty solenoid (400A continuous/1000A peak), but the vendor you've listed only shows the 36V version, which only works at 36V. I've used the 48V one I have at both 36V and 42V, and others are using it at 48V. |

What would be your recommendation as a good amperage for the controller to be set and support the current stock engine? Again, I appreciate all that are jumping in an voicing their opinion. |

Dial the DCX500 down to no more than 400A. The only times the motor draws max amps through the controller is when you are accelerating from a standstill or bogged down to walking speed going up a steep hill. Once the motor is spinning more than a few hundred rpm, it will not draw more than two or three hundred amps. When cruising on level ground, a cart motor typically draws in the 50A to 75A range. If your cables, solenoid and battery pack are properly sized and in good condition, you should get about 24MPH on stock height tires at 36V. |
