More power
How do you guys upgrade your SEPEX carts for more power? There seems to be limited controllers for the Regen 2 Club Cars. My cart has a bad controller and I was going to use this as an excuse to upgrade.
I found a new Alltrax 300 amp programmable controller with regen for $278. Is this a good deal and how much performance difference will I notice over the stock 220 amp controller? Is this a good controller? What does the programmable feature allow you to do? Thanks |

Re: More power
Just from what I have read.....Programable controllers are just that. With the enabling software, you can set limits and ramp up speeds. Sometimes the software is expensive. Why not just buy a non programable controller that is set up to do what you want - for less! 300 amps is not alot for 36 or 48 volt system.
Look at the Logisystem controllers for a better buy. |

Re: More power
Hot rodders prefer the series carts. But it depends on what you have and what you want to do ? If you lay that out for the guys here...they will set you staight!

Re: More power
I'm looking for more torque than stock to help with the large tires and rear seat. Who sells the Logisystems controllers? I saw a few on ebay, 700 amp for $325 but it's a series. Do you know if they make one for regen 2?

Re: More power
Im thinking about converting my cart to series. I'll be upgrading my car soon so I can use its 300 amp curtis controller and f/r switch. Is there anything else that has to be changed like the solenoid and motor?
Would a 36 volt motor out of a v glide cart work with a series controller? Is this going to make the performance worse than stock? Sorry for all the questions I'm still a newbie at this. Thanks!! |

Re: More power
"Would a 36 volt motor out of a v glide cart work with a series controller? "
Yes. The 36v series motor run on 48v with controller is the biggest bang for the buck upgrade. Is your 300 amp controller rated for 48 volts? 300 is not a lot of amps. I bought a 480 Logisystems for my 48v CC. The V-glide itself is not going to work unless you buy the resistor set for a v-glide conversion. ($100) Looks like a pb-6 is a better speed control for about the same money. Recoup $ by selling the v-glide. You will see about a 30% increase in both speed and torque 48v 480 amp $275 pb-6 speed control $100 good 48v solenoid $40 CC F/R switch 4 gauge cables six 8v batteries or eight 6v batteries And a way to charge the extra batteries |
