hey! i recently baught a 2000 ezgo txt! i was wondering about a few things and didnt know how to find all the specs on my perticular cart! it didnt come with an owners manual from the guy i got it from! im mainly trying to find out if it has PDS becuase the cart struggles up the hills at my course and i was looking into ways to help that problem! any ideas? as far as i know the cart is completley stock! cart has great speed on level terrain! its really only hills that are the issue! i figured if i could find out if it were pds i could get a chip and maybe be good to go! how do i know if its pds or not for sure! its a 2000 with the F/R on the seat not the dash but i hear some 2000 pds' had the f/r located there! help!

thanks
Daniel!

Is there a toggle switch on the controller cover under the passenger seat?

goofymaz · 03-24-2010, 08:10 PM

no there is no toggle! im guessing that is not a good thing :) so am i dealing with a series cart? if so is there anything i can do to make it faster/ or even just better up the hills?

Yes, it sounds like you have a series cart. Is there a long metal rod leading to a large switch assembly?

First step is to upgrade all the 6g cables to 4g welding cable. This will improve your efficiency. After that, a nice 400 amp Alltrax controller should give your torque back.

yes there is a long rod!
so you mean the battery cables? upgrade thos to 4g welding cables?

goofymaz · 03-24-2010, 08:19 PM

other than the 400 amp controller, there no other cheaper fix for the hills?
the controller...., is that dificult to install on my own? i appreciate your help here! this will end my countless hours of googling this issue!

gornoman · 03-24-2010, 08:19 PM

Yes, ALL of them. Across the batteries, into the F/R switch, solenoid, controller, and back to the motor.

Controller swap on a series cart is quite easy. We can walk you through it.

goofymaz · 03-24-2010, 08:24 PM

goofymaz · 03-24-2010, 08:28 PM
