Rear axle problems.

iizrdnk · 09-10-2012, 01:10 PM

Cart runs very very slow while on ground. Jack cart up and motor runs very fast. I removed tires and found that i am able to stop the turning hubs by hand while pressing on the go pedal. Am i looking at a bad rear axle or just an old motor? 2001 txt f\r under legs on seat.

you should be able to stop one side at a time by hand and cause the other side to start turning, this is normal for this type of cart...you should get a reading off each battery under a load and make sure you dont have one dropping out...and a side note its not good for your motor to run very fast off the ground, this can damage it...

Welcome to BGW!

Sounds like bad batteries, or maybe they're simply not being charged properly.

Not being charged properly could be a charger issue, or user error.

The batteries ought to be recharged each time cart is used.

A fully charged 36V battery pack should read 38.2V.

The top speed of a stock TXT cart with a series wound motor is about 12MPH.
