Carryall (club car) wants to go faster! HELP

greygoose08

ok i have a 98 carryall 6 passenger 48v golf cart. want to get an exact setup and where i should look at for purchasing all of this. have been reading a little bit and dont know what exactly i should be looking at getting. i want the most speed and most torque i can get. the cart has a rear seat, will be lifted and bigger tires this next week, and the terrain is pretty hilly where we will be running this cart. i was looking at D&D's website around at their stuff and filled out their little chart. so ideally i was wanting someone to tell me exactly what and where i should get everything i need to complete this. ie; if i need just a motor? motor and controller and cables? i know you guys will be able to get me going!!! all helps appreciated!! thanks.

get a motor setup for more speed and torque, you,ll need a bigger controller ( more amps ) at least 600 or so all new 4 gage cables and HD F&R switch........that will get you started..................................

started?...so theres more to do then? any ideas on what motor to look at? ive also been testing all my batteries and such, they are all like 8.2 volts. the motor seems to has anywhere from 36-44v running to it when i hold it wide open and have someone test the voltage coming to it? it also seems to lose power going up hills but the batteriies appear to be all right so im kind of lost. anymore help would be great! thanks

the best help i can offer besides the things i mentioned is to wait for one of these guys who have done a upgrade and get their thoughts...........i never really got into upgrading other than hi speed motors but some of these guys know just what to do...........what i do know is its not cheap...................

Motor: GE D380
Controller: GE 700 AMP
Solenoid: WR 586 HD 48V
Wires: 2 Gauge 450+ strand Weld cable

Those are my reccomendations. If you need assistance finding any of it, let me know and I will do what I can.

if you have already been to the d&d website you kinda have an idea of what you will be getting
I recomend the ES-58 motor
an alltrax controller 500+ amps, or a kelly controller that has a good range of voltage and high amps (because after you do these upgrades you will want to up the voltage)
a 400 amp contactor (solenoid) one that can also handle the higher voltage
and 2 g cables
and a heavy duty F/r switch (or a reversing contactor)
and if you skimp on any of these parts it will bite you in the long run
so its best to fork out the cash now and be done with it
