New SPM Alltrax Controller

[tuf-duc]

Has anyone used one of these new controllers from Alltrax?

Yes lots of people have used them... like any new product there have been some bugs but I think the Ezgo ITS bug is dead now.

I recently bought a 97 Melex 512e and upgraded to 48v batteries. When i took it in to get the "guts" looked at, they said the controller was shot. I didn't know much at the time, so let them talk me into an Alltrax SPM. I have the 48200. It seems great, but 200 amps is WAY too low for me. I like that it's programmable. i don't know what I'm doing, but one day, I am sure I will appreciate it.
I do around 23mph on flat. I'd like to bump up to 30ish. I'm thinking the only way is to eat it on the controller and get another, or go to 6:1 gears. Could I get some thoughts?
Thanks,
JT

200 The good news is the SPM has a higher output than an AXE so the 200 puts out like a 300 but ....... 300 all my clients use 4 and 500. That what it takes to run an aftermarket motor, tall tires, and gears.

Okay ScottyB, this is what I have:

1997 Melex 512e:
AXLE - Dana H-12FNR - Dana has it listed as 10.15:1 reduction
SOLENOID - 48 volt 200amp
CONTROLLER - Alltrax 48200SPM 48 volt 200 amp
WHEELS - 10” wheels, 4 bolt
MOTOR - Motor Mfg Id BT5-4001
Desc - 36/48 Volt, 3.5/5.5hp, 19 Spline, series, E-Z-GO
OEM Part# 6-224C
Original Equip Manufacturer (OEM): Fore-Par

I upgraded all the cables to 2 gauge.

This gets me at around 23mph flatland. I am trying to get to 30 without paying an arm and a leg. What are some thoughts?

I got the SPM48500 and I love it. Besides frying it from doing something stupid < my fault. It's a great controller and I had no issues with it besides having it sense my over throttle.

I give the SPM one big

The SPM is the wave of the future ..... Put a 500 in my cart the day they became available... They deliver very smooth power

Adding to ScottyB, Yes it's the future. I asked them about how I could pick references from there program to put on my desktop and was told they are not releasing that info till they come out with some ?? thing or ?? early this next year.

What I mean is, I want to be able to pull reference info out of the program and put it on my desktop ie: voltage, amps, warnings. They said they will put the program out for twiddling after they release there next new big thing. So I have to wait
