Default Intermittent problem since installing alltrax controller

I recently installed an alltrax controller and upgraded solenoid In My club car 2010 IQ ds. Everything has been working well for last 2 weeks but
began playing up during round of golf yesterday

It was intermittently not moving and would just “stutter “ . To get it going I had to push the cart to get it moving. I first thought was a loose connection but checked every terminal and nothing was loose.

Wondering how to solve this issue ?

That is a classic sign of brushes not making contact in the motor. Perhaps caused by the new Alltrax Controller. Time to upgrade that motor.

Does sound like worn brushes. Not likely caused by the Alltrax. The IQ motors just like to eat brushes.

Okay. MZJ-400's have caused a similar problem as you describe, but not that one.

You never stated what amp Alltrax you purchased. General rule of thumb has been a gray motor 300 amps, a black motor 400 amps. Rebuilding/replacing a motor that wasn’t engineered to take the amps is throwing away money, unless you sell motors.

It is a 400 amp alltrax and I have the black ADC motor so it’s capable of 400 AMPs.

Was interesting , played 9 holes today and had no issue .
