Keeps getting hot!,
I have 2 gauge cables on batteries and the motor. 8" lift with 26" tires, I keep burning through the terminals on my motor. The terminals on my motor start smoking and the resistors are hot after driving a very short distance (75 yards). What can I do to keep this from happening again?

Re: Keeps getting hot!,
A resistor cart was never meant to be run on 26" tires. The extra torque puts more electrical strain on everything. Even if you can make the motor run cooler, the next weak link will show it's self.
There are only 2 options. either run on 18" tires or convert to a controller system. . |

Re: Keeps getting hot!,
I'd give Scotty a call. Even if you can beat his package prices a-la-carte, nobody has better pre-sale or post-sale service.
