2003 EZGO TXT 36v too slow going up hill

millerj431 · 05-01-2012, 09:52 PM

I have a 2003 EZGO TXT 36v fleet series golf cart that tends to barely climb hills at my golf course. I have had the cart for almost a year now and have put brand new batteries on it and I am satisfied with the level ground performance but the slightest incline brings the cart to a snails pace. My question is do I need to replace the controller, motor, solenoid to gain more torque and power to maintain speed up a hill? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and where to get the above at good prices. Thank you!

The controller limits the amount of amperage the motor can access. This limits how much torque the motor produces, which is why it slows on the hills... You can increase the amount of amperage the motor gets with a bigger controller. You will also need to upgrade the amperage delivery system. In a series cart that includes the solenoid, F&R, and all the cables.

Scotty is right.

i would start with goin bigger on wires size 4ga minimun, if not satisfied than go bigger on everything else.

I have made alot of customers happy just buy going to 4ga cable instead of 6 ga.
