So I have a lifted cart/buggy that I recently replaced the motor due to the lack of torque on hills to an upgraded 36-48volt high torque motor I bought offline. With the new motor it does better on hills but still not exactly as much as I would like. When I bought the cart it already had a 36-48 volt 400 amp AXE controller in it. I have replaced the 4 wires that run from the F&R switch and controller to my motor to 4 gauge wire I got from Lowes and had industrial ring terminals crimped onto each end. My question is, I have noticed the wires getting hot (and smelling a little bit) after riding around for about 30 minutes or so. I have also replaced the copper F&R contact studs and made sure they are all tight. Does anyone think I need to get maybe 2 gauge wire or maybe there is a problem elsewhere? thanks for any help or suggestions
