Club Car Lacking midrange

daprincipal · 12-05-2020, 01:03 PM

I recently put in a Alltrax 500, 400 amp solenoid, 2 gauge wires, and a Redhawk Admiral A2 motor. Has great torque off the line and topping out at 25mph. The issue is a complete lack of midrange power. Someone said replacing the wires from the battery to the controller and to the motor should be upgraded to 2gauge as well? Could this cause the bottleneck in power? Feel like it loses all umph after it hits about 15mph.

First attach a volt meter to your battery pack and see what the voltage does under load from a stop to 25 mph.

While I cannot say that it's your problem, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. 2 gauge wires connecting your batteries, but 6 gauge going to the motor will negate the flow that the 2 gauge allows. If it's SEPEX, the field cables don't have to be 2 gauge, but everything else should be.

It is a 2014 Club Car so yes it is a Sepex.

If I just record a file using the alltrax software, will it give me this data?
