Re: Help, need to slow down my club car.
That could be an expensive experiment unless you are prepared for drive system upgrades... Consider the stock controller and motor are rated for nothing more than a 15% incline. With any gearing increase some upgrade will be needed

Re: Help, need to slow down my club car.
Good morning folks,
Just talked to my local shop. He instructed me to upgrade the current controller using www.flightsystems.com over changing out the gears. Anyone have any experience with them? He also said he would charge $150 to swap the gears and would buy back the high speed gears. I could get this swap done for almost free and not have to do the work myself which is pretty neat. I am interested to see if anyone has used flightsystems. Thank you, Sam |

Re: Help, need to slow down my club car.
Unless you are trying to save money in the short term by purchasing an old "repaired" controller from FSIP, I would strongly recommend buying a new modern Alltrax controller.

Re: Help, need to slow down my club car.
While there will be some torque increase, I don't believe you will see the results you are looking for with most likely 6:1 gears installed.
Further, FSIP sells multiple makes of controllers. Did they say which they thought you should use? This will result in upgrading the solenoid and possibly cables (hard to tell the cable size from the pics) Where are you located? |

Here are 10 plus reasons to choose Alltrax XCT over ANY other controller including FSIP and Curtis.

Re: Help, need to slow down my club car.
Alltrax and Curtis are pretty much the standard go to controllers here on BGW. Most prefer the Alltrax (myself included) since you don’t need to buy the separate programmer like the Curtis.
An XCT and stock gears will probably get you to the 25mph your looking for and still have decent torque out of the stock motor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
