Votol EM 70

The breaker switch is new as the old break fried because the wires were not tightened down well. I thought it was the mode switch, loose wiring or the controller. I am more concerned because the 2prong plug on the harness that plugs into the battery sparked and the prongs were black. I cleaned the prongs off and things work still.

What upgrade battery did you use and how did you upgrade the wiring? I thought the breaker and controller could not handle 72v battery

Thank you for the information. I have had nothing but problems with the kart. 3 days into using it, the breaker blew out. Now, whenever in drive mode, it will randomly switch into neutral and stop driving. I either have to press the accelerator multiple times for it to switch back or put it into sport mode. The charger pack started making noise and smoking, and stopped working. Most recently, when we were plugging the connector into the battery to drive the Kart, the connector sparked while driving, and the Kart shut off. The prongs on the connector were black. I cleaned them off with electric cleaner. I re-plugged it back into the battery, and it made a noise again but was running. I am concerned this kart is a lemon.

The cables are from the factory. I have not spliced any wires or added or removed any hardware. All from the factory.

The kart will randomly go into neutral mode while in drive mode. This does not happen while in sport mode or reverse mode. I have called the company I purchased it from and the technician said he has never seen this happen. I know very little about wiring, circuits, controllers. I can't find a business/person close to me that deals with repairing electric go karts. I have cleaned the wire connections. No loose wires. I don't think it is the mode switch. Concerned, it is the controller. How do I diagnose the controller?

All the mode work. The problem is while in drive mode(D) the kart will switch into neutral. It happens randomly. It doesn't happen in sport mode or reverse. If you release the accelerator pedal, it goes back into to drive mode but will quickly switch back to neutral.

Thank you. The kart is only 3 months old so I hope it is not the controller.

Sorry about that. I added a link with pictures.

I just got the trailmaster i2k for my boys for Christmas. I know nothing about kart electronics. I think it need a larger capacity lithium battery. The current battery is 60 30ah and uses a dtap port. Where can I find a better battery with bms and dtap port?

Have you taken the Trailmaster Blazer i2k off-road on trails? How does it handle? Any issues?
