What does a solenoid resistor do?

This resistor, typically seen across the two big power terminals of your contactor (solenoid relay), pre-charges the filter capacitors in the electronic speed controller. Its purpose is to maintain the capacitors within the controller at the battery pack voltage so that when the contactor closes, no arcing occurs.

How can I make my golf cart resistor faster?

To go taller the 20″, you will have to lift the body and frame of the cart off the axles for tire clearance. If the resistor drive system was replaced with an electronic speed control system, than the pack voltage could be increased from 36V to 48V for a 33% increase in both speed and torque.
