Re: 2001 DS Club Car runs great then drops speed
Well since it seems to be a heat related problem with the controller shutting down ,
(Did U get to test to see if it was hot when the problem happens) if YES I would go with the controller first after I verified it getting hot. then solenoid , then F/R then cables |

Re: 2001 DS Club Car runs great then drops speed
What motor did they sell you. With that info we should be able to cross refrence what controller you should be running. With everything else stock some motor upgrades do not require a controller upgrade but most do. However with your application (lifted/bigger tires, HD rear springs, and back seat) controller upgrade is a must.

Re: 2001 DS Club Car runs great then drops speed
I'm not familiar with the commander, but from the picture it must be a reworked stock club car motor. If everything else were stock you would not necessarily need controller upgrade with that. I'm guessing that since your lifted that’s causing your problem. Unless you are planning some serious upgrades in the future you can go with a 400 amp controller. Alltrax is a well respected brand and is what I'm running. The P stands for plug brake. You don't need that but if you get that model you can install it without using the plug brake (just wire it like the stock controller) again that is what I'm running. I would strongly recommend upgrading the F&R switch and solenoid at the same time as the controller. The controller is the bulk of the expense the other two items are not that expensive. Check with the site sponsors’, many of them offer this equipment at good prices. They will treat you fair and will answer all of your questions.

Re: 2001 DS Club Car runs great then drops speed
Well i said the heck with it and went a head and upgraded to a 400 amp controller, 4 gauge wire through out, a heavy duty F&R Switch, and the solenoid but now my batteries seem t obe dying pretty quick. i am going to buy new batterries i guess nad see if that fixes itr. hell it should since everything else will be new then Anyway. stareted a new thread for some questions on batterries and AH and making the right choice. Thanks all As for the shutting donw not sure since my batterries are dying so quickly i did not want ot take the chance of getting stranded again to find out....
