Ez no go
Ok to sum all of this up I have a fairly stock ezgo cart with 22" tires and lift kit it has the 4 th stock controller in it now it is the cart with the switch for the forward and reverse
A few weeks ago my cart started feeling like it was skipping as in getting power and not getting power then all of a sudden it just stopped I'm not really sure were to start with this thing I have been told it was the controller and I wanted to upgrade to a 400 amp alltrax anyway but thanks for the help in advance and sorry for the novel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Ez no go
Check out the ITS module and micro switch look in forum under search tab on correct voltage readings etc this might point you in the right direction from the limited info . You have given
Is the F/R switch on the dash or at the seat ? , this will determine if it is a series or PDS or DS style cart , 4th controller ? You need to up grade to 400 Alltrax Last edited by Great white north; 02-02-2013 at 11:21 PM.. Reason: Add sentence |

Re: Ez no go
Switch on the dash means PDS and the controller is 300 amp.
As a cart builder I would NEVER suggest a person operate a lifted cart on a stock controller for any length of time. Not only would the cart require more power than the controller would be able to supply, but the larger diameter tires/wheels would cause the speed sensor to be getting false readings. I would suggest you contact ScottyB from Cartsunlimited and get a larger controller (400 is good, 500 is better) and beefier cables if you haven't already upgraded them. Personally I would also suggest a bigger motor as well. |

Re: Ez no go
4th Controller ?
At some point you gotta wonder if you are headed down the right road. Rabbit is right, the stock control is engineered for the game of golf... short trips on relatively flat, groomed courses. Once you take the cart off the course and add tall tires you overload the control and it heats up due to the higher amp draw. Sell your new control to a golfer or trailer park (campground use) cart owner and get a solid aftermarket replacement controller & HD solenoid. |

Yea Scotty I've been wanting to upgrade for a while now and I plan on upgrading everything I just bought a new set of Trojan batteries I don't really want a huge amount of speed 25 to 30 is all I want I just don't really have a huge wealth of knowledge when it comes to upgrading these things

Scottyb what package of yours would you recommend to me I want to step up to 23 or 24" tires I don't really need to increase speed but I would like to have some more power to pull my little 14' John boat ( it would pull it like it was ) not out of the water just pull it to move it around the yard thanks
