scottyb is one out there that has done plenty of upgrades from 36V to 48V front what I have read and there is a thread just a few down "SPEED UPDATE; 97 CC VGlide 36/48 conversion" by oxfordlawn. Is your cart a v-glide with resistors? From everything that I have been following Oxfordlawn with, it looks like all you need is the new batteries, 48V solenoid and upgrade the wires (helps to prevent meltdowns). From what scottyb has said, this upgrade performs good but works best with WOT. He mentioned that running low speed under a load can cause melt-downs. Hope that helps. |

Re: 1989 club car help
your cart is probley a 6 solinoid cart. If it is you would need to replace the 5 small micros they are only less than $5 each and the 1 big one about $45 . batterys are same size as 6v and fit right in. your cart probley has a v-glide and no controller. does it have like 3" bare metal coils like 4 or 5 right in a row and a slice of pie shaped black box looks like a triangle with 1 curved side, if it does its a restior cart and doesnot have controller

Re: 1989 club car help
just a quick little note here..I have been using mine with the 6 gauge wires and they really have not gotten hot, not even warm, not at terminal ends or in the wire length area itself. One terminal at the relay gets warm but it also has a pretty cruddy terminal/wire joint. This wire flexes a little whenever f/r switch is moved and the wire where it joins the terminal is exposed and corroded. But thats not related to the wire thickness.
I will be upgrading my wires when I get some info on terminal end size at the VGlide switch, but I dont think a cable upgrade is necessary, just seems to be preferred for possible better performance. I also have intentionally been running at mid throttle speeds and the coils havent gotten scary hot or smelly. I pull over and check immediately, so far so good. |
