Help me pick controller upgrade for PDS.

[jcourtney986]

Well, I sold my Yamaha Rhino and bought this cart so I'm not looking for crazy speed, just want to make it up the hills without putting a lot of money into it.

Here is what I was recommended by EV Drives for $440 total.
DCX400 PDS and upgrading the solenoid into a 200 amp (MZJ-200D or WR-586).

I'm assuming I can do this myself, but the diagrams didn't look too simple.

Also, anyone worked with this company and is it a good price? I looked at sponsor sites, and will begin checking prices now ....

with all the controller upgrade talk here, is this including the factory motor or aftermarket motors?

[jcourtney986]

factory motor - not interested (right now) in spending more money

Let us know what you decide on and how it works out.

each cart is different we installed a 600 amp in 2 different lifted carts and got 21mph and 23 mph with the other one and we change controllers, motors and batteries and didnt get a different speed


with 18 to 19 tall tires i would not run more than 500 amp 36 volt
or 400 amp 48 volt
