Bolton 35amp controller. Any issues?
mbates50:
Just got my RR5 and thinking of changing out the controller. All I read about the Bolton is positive. Has anyone had any issues? Hate to void the warranty this early in the game
FloridaBoy:
No personal experience, though I have thought about it for the future.
But somewhere in one of the forums I read about the motor wires getting
rather warm on sustained hills. 10 gauge stranded wire is only rated for 28 amps.
So far, I haven't felt the need for more acceleration in Florida and will probably
think more about dual batteries to extend range ? ?

the 35a bolton radpower upgrade is the best mod i've done to my radrunner 1...so far!
i've been using the 35a bolton upgrade since last july with zero issues.
definitely increases the bottom-end performance - would recommend!

Bolton states the stock 750 watt motor doesn’t like going much over 800 watts. Are you going much over that?
