The manual tells you to drive backwards and do it. I think that is what your problem is. Unless you missed installing a spring or something of that nature.

I think they are saying to drive the cart and hit the brakes repeatedly

Thank you! This seems to be doing the job. I am running the cart and braking hard. At least I am stopping, just not skidding yet!

On another note, ScottyB, this thing screams. Gps at 29mph with your controller, cables, and new batteries. I am going to pick my son up at the bus stop this afternoon on it. That should be a real crowd pleaser!

GRATZY King! I'm glad you got through the issue.

Happy carting!
