more speed and torque

BIGGER CONTROLLER, END OF STORY...

Bought a refurb club car with SC4 installed and 3 year old batteries. Had trouble with the smallest hills. Replaced batteries and could now least ride around most of our hilly HOA but there were several hilly road that I could not do. Replaced cables with 2 gauge and found no joy. Replaced the motor with an HP one and still no joy. Replaced the controller and solenoid with 500 amp and there I found joy with no paved hill being out of my reach within the HOA... In fact I'm the only person in the HOA to have an electric cart that can venture the entire subdivision, most dont leave their circle or switch to gas...

More oomph = more amps. 300 could be enough, 400 most likely, 500 open up the wallet and be the person to beat.

I have an Alltrax XCT 500 and 400 amp Solenoid from ScottyB in my 2010 Precedent with the stock ADC Motor.

The increase in torque and top speed is very noticeable (I have it limited to 26mph), but the Motor HP increase which is what You need to go fast up hill is only marginal in my opinion.

I will probably upgrade my Motor once I can decide if the torque or speed motor will give me the boost at the correct rpm, and then I just have to set the XCT to max and I am ready to go.

Thanks people, controller it is!

Did you also change out the battery cables?

I had already changed my battery and motor cables to 4ga (using a stud through the OBC) before I got the XCT controller.
