Any tips/ tricks?

anything you would do different? could I see more pictures if you have any or are willing to take more?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

2009 also and just did my install.

Take your time, don’t rush, and read all instructions.....twice.

It took me about 2-3 hours going step by step. 2g wires are a must! I kept the OBC and used a brass toilet bolt kit from Lowe’s for $5 through the OBC.

I have a lift kit, D&D motor, running 22’s with 5lbs air on gravel and clock out at 28mph. I can spin the tires now 😁

No more overheating, longer run times, better throttle response BEST UPGRADE I have done and should have done sooner

I had the same exact issue. CC precedent new XCT400 install and new SW180 solenoid. Stutters and wont move after install. Stuttering forward in reverse and stuttering reverse in forward. Low voltage and precharge errors from controller but everything was installed correctly and pack is 52v+.

My problem was the diode on the small posts of the solenoid. I removed it and the cart and controller work fine now. The large post solenoid is there still.

Just an FYI for future use if others have this issue.

The diode was an issue because it was on backwards. Turn it around and reinstall.
