For those that went from stock setup to a controller, solenoid, F/R switch, possibly wire upgrade, how would you quantify your improvements after from stock? From Scotty's guide a user should see up to a 40% amperage increase with a 500amp controller.
With my '96 48v series club car, a stock setup for me is 10-12 on flat and 2-3mph on hills. What kind of improvement should I expect from a 500amp controller upgrade, upgraded switch, etc; it certainly won't add to the top end speed but as far as torque, does that mean an easier time up the hills, not necessarily speed? What have been your results?
The reason I ask, I feel as though I should spend the extra money on a 700amp and look to get the aftermarket motor down the line instead 500 and feel as though I've limited myself. If the results from the 5 are sufficient, that may be the route I go. My use is mainly up and down hills on a blacktop road with stock tires with 4 adults [for the time being but will avoid the oversized tires even then] so torque is more the measure of the day but I can't help but have the need for speed too!
