1997 txt Controller wire to motor extremely hot
I have a 1997 TXT EzGo. I bought a year ago. It wasalready lifted with siz 22 tires. I added size 23 tires. Recently i started smelling burning plastic. The cable from the controller (dcs300) to the motor is getting extremely hot. Do I need to upgrade my controller to a 500 and use a 2 gauge cable to solve this issue? Pictures of my current controller are attached.

That is a nice looking cart. Use the Alltrax XCT400 controller, a 200a solenoid, and 2g cable set.

Re: 1997 txt Controller wire to motor extremely hot
Your recommendations worked great. Cart now goes 22 mph and about 27 down a slight decline. As I was changing out the cables I discovered that the cable that was getting hot was frayed and loose on the motor. I am very pleased with the upgrade.

Be careful with that downhill speed - it is possible to be spinning the motor faster than it can hold together for.

I will be careful. Don't want to replace a motor right now when I just dropped about $675 on the upgrade. Thanks again!!!
