Controller upgrade
My dad has a 36 volt EZ-Go with a tow haul switch. Controller fryed and he wants to up grade to a 500 amp controller. I dont really know anything about the shunt wound motors and how going up in amps affects them. Anybody have any experience with the this upgrade?
Thanks |

Re: Controller upgrade
We've assisted many BGWers with this. First, we need to know what other upgrades you have done. You will need to upgrade to 4 gauge cables, no matter what conttroller you get. I would suggest the AllTrax 400 amp. You may also want to upgrade to a HD solenoid, but not necessary to do asap with a 400 amp controller. If you go 500, then a soleniod is a must.

Re: Controller upgrade
As far a performance upgrades its a stock 36 volt cart. They just put brand new batteries in it. It has a back seat kit on it other than that its stock. From what you have said it sounds like a 400 amp is the best route to take.

Re: Controller upgrade
At our shop - we replace mainly with the 400 amp on a PDS cart, PLUS the 4 gauge cables

Re: Controller upgrade
Thanks Mike. I'll put 4 gauge cables on it and go with the 400 amp controller.

Re: Controller upgrade
Dawg, you''ll like the 400 amp controller. I put the DCX400 on my cart with 4ga cables and it worked great. Also have one that I put the DCX500 and D&D motor on and it works great. The 400 was still stock and the 500 had a lift and 22" tires.
