Default What to do first?

Just wondering what to do first. I dont really need more top end speed, mainly torque. I would prob. be happy with what little topend I get from upgrading for more torque. I have pics of my txt on the welcome forum, will post more in the am. It has a lift, 6" i think, 4g wires and the prev. owner said he upgraded solenoid. I definatly want to start with cheapest options first. Any sugestions would be great, thanks. Oh yea its a series cart..

Wink Re: What to do first?

If you want torque then you have one choice. New controller. 400 amp or above. Amps = torque Voltage = speed. Welcome BGW!

Would the stock motor be ok with a 400 or 500 amp controller? Thanks.

In a series cart you can run a 500 amp controller with the stock motor. But you will need to up size 13 cables and the F&R switch to handle the increased amperage

The proper order would be 2 gauge Cables (based on 500a controller) and Heavy Duty F&R Switch Cam or new HD switch. This lays the pathways for the increased amperage to come when you get the controller/solenoid pkg.

1st thing is make sure your batteries are healthy enough for the upgrades.

Not sure on batteries, they are 09models and they are not trojans or any other name brand I have ever seen. Im sure the prev owner got the cheapest posible. But I cant turn loose money right away for a controller, just did get the money pryed from my wife to buy the cart. Im gonna have to use it as is and do small upgrades first. I noticed today that he did not replace all of the cables from the stock 6g. Only the battery cables and the two main cables from batteries. Im guessing that all the cables, except charger/micro wiring, needs to be upgraded?

PDS carts came stock with 4g from motor A1 and A2 so you just need to upgrade pos and neg to solenoid and controller and battery pack cables to complete the job. 8 pcs total.
