Controller amperage

[webster]

I have a curtis 1206 stock controller on a 2005 EZGO TXT PDS. How I can I tell what amperage rating it has?

[LostHusker]

It is either 275 or 300, can't remember, if you are going to lift your cart, you can go with a 400 amp alltrax.

It would be 300 or 350. Not sure about that year.

Did they put 350 in them stock?

[webster]

Thanks for the feed back, reason I ask is that my cart is lifted and so far no problems, I was hoping it was at least a 350 so it could get me by until I moved on with other modifications.

Start saving now to be safe.... a stock pds drive pushing big tires may give out at any time.... what color chip do you have in it? That will factor in to how well it lasts..

yellow chip, I dont care about speed, it goes 18-19 now. I like the torque because I hunt out of it.

[scottyb]

Change to the blue chip ( steep hill) that will maximize your torque and minimize the possibility of trouble

Will do I already have one of those. I know you've answered this a thousand times Im sure, but is there a major difference in the 400 vs 500 amp. Because down the road I would like to do a motor swap?

This is right out of the back of the 2001 EZGO owners manual:

TXT PDS ELECTRIC - FLEET
STANDARD EQUIPMENT:

SPEED CONTROLLER Solid State, 350 Amp Capacity with Non-Contact Inductive Throttle Sensor

MOTOR 36 VDC, Shunt Wound with Brazed Armature and Solid Copper Windings

This is a surprise to me, I was always told they were 275 or 300 amps, now I wonder why an Alltrax 400 amp controller makes such a big difference, if it is only 50 amps more???
