Re: Motor getting hot
It's not surprising that the GE motor is getting hot on a hunting cart. Especially on one with a 600 amp controller. The heat you're feeling in the wire is more than likely coming from the motor. I've had to replace brushes and insulators in hundreds of GE motors over the years because the A1 terminal and A2 terminals get so hot it actually cooks the insulation off of the wires that are connected to them. The heat can travel down the wire and make the wires hot as well, but the source of the heat is the motor. The brushes in that motor can't handle that kind of amperage.

Re: Motor getting hot
I have the otf controller and try to keep it turned down as much as I can get away with and still climb a few hills. I just wanted to know if it was something I could help to make it through this first season with the cart . Any recommendations for a DC torque motor? I think the plum quick rebuild wouldn't be enough torque to keep it from running hot still

Re: Motor getting hot
I forgot to mention the most important reason for replacing your motor. If your Electric Cart breaks down in the field you will never hear the end of it from the gasoline powered ATV and Polaris owners.😎

I marked 25 on the GPS speedometer on a fresh set of batteries. It is a MONSTER of a motor. I'm pretty sure it would rip the guts right out of the axle if you aren't careful with it. On 23" tires, I would fully expect 25 or better on the road assuming your battery pack can provide enough juice to feed it. (it is hungry) |
