Default Shudder on take off

Got my Logisystem 700 amp controller couple weeks ago and installed it along with high speed motor from CartZone previously installed.All I can say is hang on!Same speed as before "27mph" but will spin tires in loose gravel or slick concrete and gets to the speed in half the time!
Quiestion is that at a sloww take off or trying to maintane a slow speed I get a bad shudder like power going in in out If you just floor it no problems but if you feather it kinda goes ;start,clunk,start,clunk, then smoothes out. And when wanting to go like 2 or 3 mph it constantly clunks back and forth?
Any Takers or help greatly appriciated!
TIA

What year is the cart? Sounds like the throttle input, common problem for MCOR units, if yours has one.

Does it have the MCOR unit? These are a black box on the passenger side frame rail right under the passenger side foot area. Check and see if you have one of these. Looks like this MCOR

If so, replace it as that is most likely your problem.

Finally checked cart and yes it has a MCOR! We sure that is what I need before I spend another 100 to 150 dollars?lol May be a silly question but why did I never notice the shudder with old controller!?

i,m gussing your pulling more amps with the 700 amp controller and it could be an indication of a battery problem, load test your batts since its only doing it when taking off........i,m guessing and i,ll be corrected if i,m wrong and someone else may know more about it hopefully they,ll chime in......................

Load tested batteries everything fine. Batteries are less than a year old, Trojan 875's. Don't think they are an issue?

They go bad, plain and simple, I have my stock controller, upgraded to a 500amp, ran fine for a bit and then a few months later MCOR started having problems. I simply replaced it and never looked back.

I had the same problem with an Alltrax controller. I was able to program out the shudder by changing the ramp up and ramp down rates. Also, mine works never did shudder with the standard controller. I put the standard back on just to make sure.
