Overview
Some 48V Club Car carts, including utility models such as the Carryall, and many Star EV carts use a Curtis 1268 or 1520 controller. This Navitas TSX 3.0 kit is built to replace exactly that controller while the cart keeps its DC motor.
In the box you get the TSX 3.0 controller with Bluetooth, the vehicle specific harness for 1268/1520 wiring, and the On-The-Fly programmer for adjusting speed and acceleration on the go. The Navitas app shows live diagnostics instead of leaving you to guess at a fault.
Pick 440A for a lively daily driver, or 600A for heavier loads, hills and work use.

How to confirm it fits
Read the controller label. A Curtis 1268 or 1520 part number is what this kit replaces.
Confirm the cart is 48V. Star EV Classic 36V carts need a different harness.

Requirements and install notes
This is a controller swap. Your cart keeps its DC motor; the stock controller comes out and the Navitas TSX 3.0 controller goes in with the vehicle harness supplied in the kit.
Disconnect the battery pack and discharge the old controller before you touch any terminal. Photograph the original cable positions first, then follow the Navitas TSX 3.0 manual step by step.
Check the main battery cables, terminals and solenoid before installation. A tired solenoid or undersized cables limit what a higher amp controller can deliver.
The On-The-Fly programmer lets the driver adjust speed and acceleration from the seat, with a key lock to hold the settings. Deeper settings and live diagnostics are in the Navitas app over Bluetooth. Dealer level app access is available to qualified customers only.
If you are not comfortable working on a 36V or 48V traction system, have the kit installed by a qualified golf cart technician.
FAQ
Should I choose 440A or 600A?
440A is plenty for two riders on flat or gentle ground, and it asks less of the battery pack, cables and solenoid. Choose 600A for a rear seat, a lift, bigger tires or regular hills, where more current means more torque. Both ratings come with the same vehicle harness and On-The-Fly programmer.
Will this kit make my cart faster?
It adds torque, so the cart pulls harder from a stop, up hills and with passengers. Top speed also depends on the motor, gearing, tire size, pack voltage and the speed you set in the programmer. The kit does not raise the cart's load or towing capacity.
Do I need a new solenoid or battery cables?
Check both while the seat is up. A worn solenoid arcs on every engagement and sends spikes into the controller, so replace it with one rated for your amps if it tests weak. Navitas lists undersized battery cables as a cause of a cart that goes sluggish after a while and recommends 4 AWG power cables.
How do I change the speed and acceleration settings?
From the driver seat, with the On-The-Fly programmer that comes in the kit. A key lock holds your settings. Deeper settings and live diagnostics are in the Navitas app on your phone over Bluetooth.
