Default EZGO Medalist Controller Question - 9 pin to 5 pin possible?

I have a 1994 Medalist with an old style 9 pin controller. I changed it out once a few months ago with a rebuilt. It ran for about 3mo. and now it burnt again. Does anybody know if there is an upgrade for these old expensive controllers?

The DCS controller (Curtis 1206SX) was a failed design.
Replace it with an Alltrax XCT48300-DCS, or larger if your cart has oversized tires and/or a rear seat.

Thank you JohnnyB, my cart is all stock and a two seater. Do you know if there are any cheaper options?

I put an Alltrax XCT400DCS and heavy duty solenoid on my 95 Medalist. And 2 gauge cables. Best money I have spent on the cart. Well worth it.

You could always throw away some more money on another rebuilt (I really mean "repaired", the "rebuilds" aren't really rebuilt). I think it's time to step up to the plate.

Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) said it best.

Quality is like buying oats:
If you want nice, clean, fresh oats you must pay a fair price.
However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse, that comes a little cheaper...
