Smoking forward and reverse switch(36v Club)
New to the forum, first time posting. Here goes. Have a 91 club car reisistor with new batteries , new 4 Guage wires, lift kit, 10 inch tires. F and R switch caught fire so I replaced it, sure enough it began smoking after 2 minutes of usage, so I deconned it. I don't see any diode by solenoid, could this be my problem? Too much tire for stock??? In deep and getting tired of spending, any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Smoking forward and reverse switch(36v Club)
10 inch is a rim size. We need tire size. 23" tire is 30% plus over stock tires = a 30% increase in final drive ratio... = torque loss, harder working motor drawing more amperage. More amperage can melt your components if they are not sized for the job.
So HD F&R and bigger cables....... soon you'll need bigger controller and solenoid, the tires were just the start of upgrade. |

Thanks guys, Appreciate the info., heard nothing but good bout you Scotty. One last question before I order your hd switch. My cart has no controller, can I get by w/just a hd switch for now? Will it still be sufficient when I upgrade? Just had a son and formula and diapers ain't cheap!

congrats on the kid ! look into 2g cables (again scottyb's) .. our early 90's carts can't do the super upgrades like the newer carts but we trade that for simple repair
