speed controller
If I change just the speed controller on my 1990 Marathon will it gain me any more speed? or do I need to change more than that? thanx

Re: speed controller
controller change will give you more torque (amps), but not anymore speed, climb hills better, pull thru soft ground better.....need to upgrade your wires to at least 4 ga. speed - change motor, rear tire size, up voltage, high speed gears, etc...plus always need a strong battery pack for best performance.

Re: speed controller
what would be a good recomendation for a controler for my 1989 EZGO Marathon, being it is stock right now, what would be a decent upgrade, nothing radical. Once I change that I can work on the next step. being I'm new to this I would like an actual part number so I get the right thing.

Re: speed controller
Actually the 700 amp FSIP is a tunable controller, meaning there is a screw to turn in down so he could run it at 400 amps now and 5-700 amps later when he gets his big motor!
Reduced to $450 just 2 units. |

Re: speed controller
Now that is a deal! How many times do folks jump up from stock to 400-500amp only to go buy another 700amp later? Scotty this is a good deal....I just need a 72volt!!!

Re: speed controller
You think you need 72 volts
These units are 36-48 volts. |

Re: speed controller
I have been in email contact with scottyb and will be sending him a pic of my battery compartment later today and we will be going from there. I already plan on buying upgraded battery cables, and a HD F/R cam. If I can upgrade my controller I will get it all at once. Only have a certain budget to work with this summer
