Re: Replacing cables
For an IQ cart (SEPEX) 4ga is plenty.
Without getting technical, it is a matter of efficiency. The times a SEPEX motor needs high current, it does not need high voltage, so any inefficiency in the cable system will not reduce speed or torque, only a minuscule reduction in potential range. If You need a lot of low speed high torque performance, the SEPEX motor is the wrong choice and You should have a SERIES motor. |

Here are some ends (Lugs) http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-4-Gauge-A...BY3Ke7&vxp=mtr and both Sergio and I posted places you can get heat-shrink. Do you have a crimper to crimp them on or can you silver solder them? |

Re: Replacing cables
I was planing on silver solder and heat-shrink.
That link for ends will work great I don't need alot of speed as the campground is 10MPH but does have some hill. I was going to upgrade because I have free wire |

Just be sure it is a high quality cable or they may not last a long time. |
