i'll open the console and check it out.the loss of drive power is intermittent.sometimes it'll shut off when you back off throttle completely.reseting the f/r lever gets it going again but sometimes it doesn't.
you can always hear the hum of the controller and the contactors close but as soon as you touch the accel the contactors cut out and hum stops.reseting the f/r gets the hum back on and cycle repeatsthis happens in forward or reverse.are these trucks very sensitive to input voltage/amps?
it's currently running on 3 8volt golf cart batteries.i'd like to sort this out first before splurging for a $3k battery.
the forks and power steering always function.
thanks.
