The Altrax I have been using is a 450 amp and it runs the Bypass fine with no problems it's the same controller I first installed in the Mud Buggie back in 1995.
Every connection that the juice flows through takes a bit away from the end result. The less connections components you run through on the system the more power you deliver to the motor. In turn means more torque and speed in a hurry to get the 1/8 mile times I want.
I guess we shouldn't promote running anything over 48 volts then either to the average carter to drag race.
That is why we come here to learn and see what the guy's that do try stuff are getting done. This is why Im posting this info. So people will know what is going on and make there own decission on what they want to do with there cart. If like me once they start it keeps moving up in speed and voltage to what all of us have to decide is our limit. Mine has been 72 volts now 1995 at the second Bonanza. This is my comfort voltage.
I can't speak for everyone but only give info on what I have learned by trying something you are anyone else dares not to.
I'm not a police man of drag racing. I'm a racer that likes to try things and see what happens.

I think you may have mis-understood something I said. Let me clarify. I said that you could get a controller powerful enough that you dont need to run a by-pass. And therefore, not have to worry about all the safety precautions. The pictures and video do not tell the story. The ET tells the story. The quickest carts out there in the 1/8th mile do not use a bypass. If you use a good enough controller, you dont need a bypass.
Gornoman, bypass is basiclly a shunt between B- and M- on controller. Full battery pack power straight to motor. Bypasses entire electrical system. Good for instant power but you better have your shut down plans in place or you can end up with a ghost rider cart.
