94 marathon controller

Dwnieto · 12-03-2019, 11:17 AM

Hi everyone new to the forum and hoping i can get a few answers for my questions. Thanks in advance.
We inherited a 94 ezgo marathon after installing new batteries and charging we were off on our maiden voyage. Well it was a short voyage as there was a sudden thump and the bottom of the controller blew off.
My question is what should i check before replacing controller?

And can i replace the controller with an upgraded model without upgrading anything else?

Sorry guys im new to owning a cart and not sure how to proceed.

You can upgrade to the Alltrax SR controller with confidence - the controller has reverse polarity protection on the input and output - so the cart cannot hurt it and it carries a 2 year replacement warranty.

Scottyb can i order the sr48500 now even if it may be a year or so before i put bigger tires or upgrade from stock motor?

Yes you can - The stock series motor can run on the 500 amp control. The SR48500 control is the most popular controller for this cart. It will run the stock motor now or any aftermarket motor later. And it will run on 36v now and 48 volts later too.

Just wanted to come back to this and give a shout out to scottyb. Ordered an alltrax controller and solenoid but did not receive the resistor or diode and scottyb was quick to make it right. Awesome customer service
