Re: EZGO Series Upgrades
Slowing when going up hill is the nature of the beast. Typically the stock carts will slow to 40-50% of top speed while on a grade. Installing taller tires will worsen this slowing effect. And it is hard on the controller and motor. Upgrading the system to larger (higher amperage) speed control is the best way to improve torque and recover your losses.
In addition to a bigger controller you will need a bigger solenoid. And bigger cables to help deliver the amperage. And in a series cart you will need to upgrade the F&R switch to complete the amperage delivery system upgrade. Even with all the improvements the cart will still slow down some on the hills, just not as much... Keep in mind the cart was designed for 2 men rolling along on 18" tires on a mild golf course. Everything must be upgraded for a 4 passenger hunting buggie. |

Re: EZGO Series Upgrades
I too have an 06 TXT that is lifted. Mine was refurbed by EZGO, and I know they upped the controller to 400A. Seems to have plenty of torque, but still slows uphill with my fam of 4 on it. I'll need to check the solenoid, cables and F/R switch too.
Donkey and rberg, have either of you made changes since this post? Curious to know what you did and how it's working for you if so... |
