Re: help with motor or controller slipping
That is so funny because we did the same thing at camp ground and yes I think a couple did have a beer or two. LOL. I'm still leaning toward the controller. . I'm thinking the altrax is nothandleing the amps on initial startup. The high stopped gears is making the motor draw to many amps. it feels like a car with a slipping clutch

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
That's what I thought, more of a supply problem than a mechanical one. Which is why I was trying to get somebody to with a realtime readout to see if voltage was dropping out?

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
I read on another post where someone had put 8.1 gears in and he reported a reading of 544 amps at take off. But he also had 72 volt cart with700 amp controller thats why I think my 500 amp may besurging or something.

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
Sledgehammer, a slipping clutch is what mine feel like also. I will plug in the laptop tonight and see what the amp draw is. I might also lower my throttle up rate. I think it's at 7 now and just might me to much for the PDS motor and it's trying to pull more than controller can give.

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
Well did you have any luck? I talked with a guy this week end that work for a local repair shop and he thinks its in the rear end. something slipping. I just dont buy it. When I had my torque gears in the thing would lift the front tires off the ground with just me sitting in it. I'm going to put the stock motor back in it tomorrow if I don't get forced to work. Sorry it's been awhile just been working 12 hours a day and not much time left over for cart.

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
I have been busy also, I did turn down my throttle up to 3. Wife and kids like it better. The slip is still there, I just don't slam the throttle all the way from a stop. Will be interested if yours still does it with stock motor.

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
Well backed up on ramps today and went ahead and pulled the pan so I could watch what was going on. Strapped to truck "redneck" gave her a good slap on the gas and no movement except the motor. Swapped motors back to stock and it seems to be a little worse. I've got to get my hands on a lap top. I really think it's in the controller.

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
Has to be if it does it with the other motor. What should we look at voltage or amp wise when plugged into a laptop?

Re: help with motor or controller slipping
Not sure but if it's pulling over 500amps. I'm thinking it acting like a 3 phase motor and not getting enough. Even though my altrax is 500 amp I thinking it only actully rateed around 450 -480 amp even worse. Oh well I was hoping for somehelp here cause I'm lost.. LOL along with everyone I talk to about it.
