Default opinions on battery cable size for 420 amp controller on precedent

Are stock precedent battery cables 4 or 6 gauge?

Would it be OK to stick with the stock battery cable if upgrading to 420 amp controller?

This will not be an off road cart, just used in a hilly subdivision.

OEM should be 6 gauge and if you "Have" to use them, you can, but they will break down sooner and heat up more then a good 4 gauge set would. Plus in hilly situations you will be pulling more load and will need the heavier cables....

If I replace cables, I just go ahead and place on 2 gauge so I am covered in any situation.
