THANK YOU LH. So are you saying that the pos side of the diode should be at the yellow wire instead of blue?

Yep look at the diagram that came with your controller you will see it.

OKAY. Thanks you guys SOOO much for helping me out with this. It has been bugging the crap out of me the whole day through school. The cart is now running, and it has AMAZING torque! However, I haven't charged the batteries in about a week (I haven't used it at all) and the cart was running slow I assume because of the batteries' SoC. I will post speed results and I will try to get some other tests done after it has been charged. Aussie and LH, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SCOTTY: THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! RABBIT: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I have a bad memory, so other than the above, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

Kid if you have more than 10 min of pedal time, you should consider charging your batts after each use. JMO.

Okay. I usually go on a reference of 1 hour of pedal time. But I will change my habits to 10 mins. Thanks for the info.
