What kind of battery are you using ? (chemistry, capacity) SR48400 is only rated for 140A continuous. Check the LED on the controller for failures when the motor stalls.
eATV conversion stalls up hill
Greetings! I recently converted an '05 Raptor with an exploded engine into an eATV with a Motenergy ME1602 Motor and Alltrax SR48400 Controller. Overall I'm very pleased with the conversion but have run into an issue. It stalls going up hills. When I check the BMS on my battery it says it's only drawing 80 amps but I've seen it draw ~300 amps. How does one go about diagnosing whether the BMS, controller, or motor is the culprit? It should easily be able to muscle up a hill with 300a at 48v. That's ~20hp!

Can you attach a voltmeter and monitor your voltage in real-time while climbing the hill ?
I was thinking maybe you have a significant voltage drop under heavy load.
