Re: Alltrax 500a controller
I did the PQ upgrade first and ran it on my stock 350 controller. I now have a 500 but I just learned that it comes default to 48V I'm 36V so now I have to see if I can get it programmed to 36.
Try the motor first is my advise |

If 20mph is all you are looking for but with more torque for better acceleration than just an Alltrax XCT might do it for you. If that is not enough than a torque motor will give you the best acceleration if that’s what you’re really going for. You will need the bigger controller for a torque motor anyway, so might as well start there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Alltrax 500a controller
I don’t do a lot of roads. I am on grades and paths most of the time this cart will bounce you right out of the seat. It has a heavier leaf spring is it for the back seat. I would go back to stock but I use it as a flat bed for hauling the cooler and other things. What I am trying to say is it rarely goes over 10mph till I hit pavement. Also I don’t want to upgrade the brakes. I know how addictive it is when building a new toy. I had over $20,000 in the rhino pounded the he’ll out of it then sold it for $5000

Re: Alltrax 500a controller
Here is an analogy from the people who know. The carburetor is the equivalent of the controller. Take for instance if you put a 4 barrel carburetor on a four cylinder would you expect a lot of improvement? If your stock motor can't use those extra amps it won't make any difference what size controller you have.

Re: Alltrax 500a controller
So after doing a ton of reading i have decided to still get the alltrax 500a controller have it set up for the stock motor because if something happens to the stock motor I know i will be putting in a torque motor. So now my question is will it have to be sent back to the vendor for reprogramming or is this something that I can do my self. When I needed programming done for my rams I2 program. I let the guy take control of my computer I could see everything he was doing. He made it look so easy. Is this something that can be done. Like i said in the first post I don’t really mind paying a few extra bucks for the customer service. Also when they set up the xct500 I know they tune it down would it be exactly the same as the xct300.

Re: Alltrax 500a controller
The Alltrax toolkit software is designed for the end user (you). It is as simple a Controller programming software as you will find to date. Find the software and the user manual for free here > https://alltraxinc.com/alltrax-tool-kit/

Re: Alltrax 500a controller
Your supplier should set it up for you so it is ready to go right out the box. As scottyb said, the Alltrax Tool Kit allows you to customize and modify parameters down the road so if you want different curves or controls, it is within your capabilities with a laptop and USB cable. The XCT line also has field maps available for almost every motor out there so if you upgrade down the road, there should be a map available to help you along the way.

Re: Alltrax 500a controller
i gotta say the tool kit is great and finding the laptop to attrx controller is just an A end (usb) to a B end ( printer cable)
the problem is sitting on the cart and playing with the power curve while on the cart ( get a looong cord ) ... i got one to spin in the grass and slowly take off on pavement .. good thing it has a default setting and i believe a ezgo throttle 0~5k or is it 5~0k |

In conclusion = if it's running okay on 36v you have no worries. No program changes needed & enjoy the rides. Even 48v carts run fine on 36v programming. Don't sweat it. |
