i have that controller. It's programmable.

 

[tungpo1]

Yes most alltrax are, plus they are water proof

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Well, I was right...it sure was the controller...Ive hooked it up and shes running like a dream come true....my tomtom is dead...so I dont know how much faster she goes...but I can tell its faster than before. I cant find a usb cord ANYWHERE to charge this dang thing up...Im dying to know how much faster its going!!!

Mines an alltrax400 with turbo turned full on...I thought it was a D&D....but D&D doesnt even make a controller, they just sell Alltraxes stuff!!!

YEAH,,GO MAN GO !!!

....my tomtom is dead...

There are prescriptions that will fix that!

Glad to hear that you have more speed now Rog! Get the Tomtom charged and go for a spin!

Ok...now that the excitements worn off...and the tomtom is charged...3 immediate problems...IT WONT CHARGE!!!!! It runs without the key, and its only up 5mph...totaling 17mph!!! the 17mph I can deal with because it beats the hell out of 11!!!, but Im nervous about someone jumping on it and taking off without the key....and if it doesnt charge....well, I guess I wont have to worry about someone driving off with it if its dead!!!

17 mph, wow, that is about 14 more than mine. I am sure a quick call to the controller company and you will get the little wiring snag worked out. Post the prob on bgw, they will help.

 

[Gatordad]

That's ok, i already know my key works for it.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Ok...after racking my brain over what STUPIDITY I was guilty of this time...I realized the the big fat red wire that goes from the rear of the charging plug should probably not just be dangling and not hooked up to ANYTHING!!!! SO Ive got the charging problem fixed(god...I never cease to amaze my self with the level of retardation I have the ability to obtain). I still cant figure out why it runs when the key is in the off position....obviously I spiced into the key switch...but thats exactly where the instructions said to do it...guess I'll be calling alltrax today....I hate admitting to techs that Im an idiot....I dont mind writing it on a daily basis to you guys...but on the phone to a tech is a different story. ALso...Im thinking of upgrading my 6 gauge wires to 4 gauge...does anyone think that may increase my speed by another mile per hour or so?

I know....LIKE THAT WASNT BAD ENOUGH....now ANYONE key or no key can take it!!

ummm....maybe I shouldnt be broadcasting this info, huh???

 

[Gatordad]

we upgraded all our wiring with the 500 amp controller and souped up motor. You should do it. Tungpo will tell you why exactly.

You might get more MPH "MIGHT" but it will reduce the heat for sure!!

Here's a few pics of a UM cart I just finished for a customer.

Before!!

After!!

I got him going from 15 mph to 23 just with a motor change

 

[Gatordad]

nice..... The reason we were told to upgrade the wires was for the heat thing, i can't remember what put us over the edge on that, the motor or the controller. funny enough, 4JUL we overheated (melted) the FNR switch. Part of that was the lack of h20 in the batteries I guess.

who does your seats?

 

[tungpo1]

When you upgrade your controller to a 400amp or higher, you should always go to 4ga. wires the heat is way too much for the standard 6ga.
