Yes, I still have the old motor. I will measure both and see what I find. After this I will likely upgrade to an AllTrax controller. Do you have a recommendation for the motor? |

Re: 1998 EZ-GO TXT Series 36V Upgrades and Performance Issues
for starters, go through Scotty at cartsunlimited.net and get you an Alltrax SR48500 (Item #4 PKG#485) on his site. and upgrade to 48v.....you may find your 7122 may run ok, in not either get a 7126 like mine OR a MOT B1 (if you go to 48v a MOT A1).

I just want to put it out there again to make sure I am not throwing money at missed issue. Battey, Throttle, Ect. When I upgraded my controller from OEM to the Curtis 1205 I noticed no difference in any area of performance. Does that seem correct? Give my current set up. |

Re: 1998 EZ-GO TXT Series 36V Upgrades and Performance Issues
Would I be correct in saying the 7122 does not
benefit from a controller upgrade? That the controller upgrade is more suited towards a motor that makes additional torque. I read all this information saying Controllers are suppose to help provide the motor with additional amperage which in turn allow them to develop torque? Example being a D&D motor will show +5%TQ on 400 AMP and +15% TQ on 500. |

IF the amount of torque you want/need isn't enough for you, your options available to you are to upgrade to 48v (which will increase BOTH your torque and speed by 33%) or replace your motor with one that will develop more torque, but you will lose speed. |

If you need to keep the larger tires for terrain, then consider changing the rear end gears to reduce torque loss. |

2. The controller is a valve rather than a pump and its function is to limit the amount of amps the motor is allowed to draw. If the motor is capable of drawing more amps than the controller can pass, then a higher amp controller will allow the motor to draw more amps and produce more torque. However, the faster the motor spin, the fewer amps it is capable of drawing, so the torque gain of a higher amp controller primarily exists in lower RPM spectrum. 3. I don't know the source for that information, so I question the percentages given, but it is true that more torque can be realized if the controller is limiting the amps the motor can draw at the specific RPM and voltage applied. |

After additional research I found out my Curtis Controller I purchased is not genuine. It's either a clone or did not meet quality standards. I am going to replace it with an AllTrax 500 Amp per the suggestions. 3. Regarding the %'s that info was right from D&D's website under the Motor/Controller section. I will still likely go to 48V in the near future, but I want to eliminate any issues with the controller. Plus like you said, The AllTrax is user programmable and can be better suited for specific motors. |

adog.....don't forget to go to cartsunlimited.net and talk to scotty here and he will set up the controller for your needs so it will be totally P-N-P for you.....plus get the Pkg 485 and you will get the solenoid you will need as well!
