Default Replacement of all wires

87 ezgo marathon electric. I want to replace all of my wires battery's, motor, and resistor. Would it hurt if I used 4 gauge welding wire.

Now is a good time to go with a solid state conversion... upgrading to modern electronics opens up a world of performance options

Thumbs up Re: Replacement of all wires

That's what I use, along with red shrink tubing on connector ends the kind w/ hot melt glue inside along with T&B Copper Sheild and T&B Crimp terminals. I also maked up a set of # 2 welding cables for my other car. Good Luck on yours. Joe

Yes, 4ga is good and will give you a nice boost. Be careful when replacing the cables to the resistor board as it can be brittle after all these years and the nuts rusty. I used 4ga jumper cable wire because it was more affordable and has a good installation on it. I also recommend wire wrap on the cables that go to and near the resistor coil box.

Scottyb means, changing the cart from a Resistor cart to using a Controller. Modern carts have a Controller and ITS or pot box that regulate the speed of the cart. Old school carts use a resistor coil to regulate speed. Controller systems are more efficient in that energy is not wasted. Both systems have pro's and con's.

What does something like that cost and is it a simple change over. Would I need to do anything with the motor
