If you are up to making your own cables, try weldingsupply.com . If not, our site sponsors sell complete 4g kits for a series cart like yours. Check with them on the controller too.

how many feet of welding cable do you think i will need to recable the cart? will 50 be enough? and is there a difference between red cable and black welding cable? or are they just color cordinated for our own uses

35 feet will do a series cart with leftover cable. Red or Black, the electrons don't care. Black is cheaper. Red looks nicer.

is it nessesary you think to get a 400 amp alltrax xcontroller to get the torgue and speed or will any 400 amp controller do? i found a greast buy on a curtis 400 amp controller but didnt know if there was a difference there

Well, 400 amps is 400 amps, but the Alltrax has a very, very good reputation.

What size lugs would we need? All the same size?

All the lugs on an EZ-Go TXT are the same size.

The lugs are sized by the wire and the bolt hole so If you are making 4g cables you need a 4g x 5/16ths lug ...... all batteries are 5/16ths. Some CC F&R connections are 1/4 inch....

Caution controllers are throttle input specific. This varies between manufactures. Some Controllers are programmable with the correct software and cables...Hope this helps.
