1994 Club Car DS Question

i really don't believe in the waste of energy claims... we run them wide open so coils are not in engaged ... yes we start out using coils but only for a 1/2 second each
i would love to take a coil cart and a controller cart and run them side by side and see what the travel distance is .. anyone got connections at Daytona ?

At full throttle I'd bet it'd be close to the same, the real test would be side by side at half throttle and see which one dies first. That would give a good measurable number on energy consumption of the coils vs. the controller.

And no doubt coils are way cheaper, resistor carts take the prize in that area. But, unless you're beating the ever loving crap out of it, the controller shouldn't need replaced for a very long time.
