Improving torque

[bamarich]

First off, I want to say "thank you" to the people on this forum who answer questions so frequently. I've just purchased an 05 TXT with a lift kit and will be using the cart primarily for turkey hunting on rolling terrain with very steep hills. Thus, I probably am going to need more torque than my stock cart has to offer.

Here's my question... am I better off getting a different controller or should I go with a different motor. In answering, I'd appreciate those of you who know including the anticipated costs with the different options. Also, I would be very interested in knowing any other things that I can do to increase it.

Thanks in advance for helping... and again I appreciate the forum.

I would upgrade the controller first. The stock motor is fairly strong and you can aways upgrade it later if you need more speed and torque. I would check with the sponsors for cost info, many of them sell after market controllers.

first thing to do is replace all wires with at least 4ga or bigger. My personal 99 model has 0ga for wires. I have lift and 20 inch tires and pull diesels trucks with it no problems using stock components from 99 & 05 batteries

The controller is the hold back, it is only 300 amps. get a 500 and bigger wires and you should have all the torque you need.

Is your 2005 a Series/Fleet or PDS system?

It's a fleet cart. Thanks to all who have offered opinions.
