New 20s and loss of torque, need help...

aircat · 10-03-2010, 06:18 AM

Yesterday I put some 20s on my stock, series txt, and now notice a quite a difference in hill climbing ability ”I really wasn’t expecting that much difference “ . So if I upgrade my cables to #2 awg will I regain my torque or do I need to ditch the new tires and go back to the 18s. I’m sure the best thing is to go 48v and new controller but I really can’t justify those changes yet .

Thanks

4g cable is enough for all but the extreme builds......it will help but, it still will not get all the torque back though.
If you have that much difference from a 2 inch tire change; maybe look at the battery condition?

The batteries are less than 1 month old, the controller is cool but the solenoid was pretty warm, maybe too much voltage drop there. Didn't seem like 2 inches would make that much difference.

Best thing would be a 400a controller,Solenoid, HD F&R Switch Cam, and 4g cables .... that would make a big seat of the pants difference... It would be much stronger than going back to the small tires.
