Controller blew
Controller started blowing capacitors. Man, that stinks for both the nose and wallet! Guess it's time to call Scottyb!

Re: Controller blew
How old is that alltrax controller?
What do you think caused the failure? |

Re: Controller blew
Any time i change a controller, i pull and inspect the motor to be sure that the motor didn't cause the failure. Yep, dead alltrax has a very distinct smell. When a cart comes in with a dead alltrax, i can usually tell before i even look at the cart.

Re: Controller blew
Now I've got to decide between the SPM-48500 (10" case) or the SPM-48600 (14" case).
Has anyone fit the SPM-48600 in the stock location? |

Re: Controller blew
I have a cart with the baby Alltrax dcx 330 I think, and I suspect it may be the reason I am using my spare cart. Or at least trying to. I cleaned the cables for the first of years plat and then she went about ten to fifteen feet then jerked and quit. But I had no smell, is that inheirent on all of the failures? My controller is a 06 or 07 model controller on a 06 cart.

Re: Controller blew
Spm 600 does not fit in stock location, i tried. But that cart did have 8 batteries under the seat, not 6.

Re: Controller blew
I HATE it when things die an early death. I HATE it even more if I can't figure out why it died.
This is really driving me nuts. Whats causing the caps to blow? How was it driving before the caps took a dump? (why do they need so many capacitors in the controller anyway?) Is your pre-charge resistor still good? WHY DID IT DIE? |
