1988 EZ-GO Resitor Cart issue

What would cause the resistor coils to get so hot they glow?

A lot of slow driving

Okay. I have a chance to buy the cart. They told me the resisters get hot. I was concerned that there is a mechanical issue.

the resistors get hot when u drive slow but a full throttle ther are out of the loop and should not be a factor

Tell them there may be a real problem when that happens and drive the price down to take care of the upgrades you're likely to do if you stick around here.

The person that has the cart indicated they own a Golf cart shop. I would think they would know that the resitors heating up is due to slow driving. So with that said, is there anything else that could be the cause?
