Need advice on what type of hunting cart to buy
Just got into a new hunting lease here is south Bama. 5000 acers, most roads are good but there are a few hills. I've been looking for a few weeks now and I'm not really sure which cart will be right for me. I need something with some low end to get up the hills. Need a cart that will take me many miles turkey hunting. There seem to be lots of used cart around here for sale. Most are 07' and 08' lifted. I test drove an 08' ezgo txt with a 6" lift kit. To me it just felt unbalanced. Trying not to drop $4000 on a cart and then spend more for new batt's. Should I go with 48 volts or 36. Thanks in avance for yalls help.

Re: Confussed on what to buy
Try re-wording your question. Mention looking for a good cart for hunting. That should get a large responce.

E-Z-GOs all feel unbalanced to me. The suspension is much softer than the suspension on a Club Car and they tend to have much more body roll, especially when lifted. How fast do you want it to go? I'll point you in the right direction.

Z7-1 thanks for your help. Speed, from what I hear and read sounds like some give and take. Lots of low end, you have to give up speed. Is that right. But more to your question. At least 20mph { on flat ground } or I'll feel like I'm walking. Thanks BamaT

Looked at one that had a mixture of old and new batt's. Dude selling said that is ok. I thought, sounds like something that's gonna leave me WALKING.

Re: Need advice on what type of hunting cart to buy
I wouldn't trust mixed batteries unless I knew the history. I'd look for an IQ car of some sort. Any DS 2002+ with a serial prefix of "AQ" or any Precedent electric (all IQ or excel) Excel isn't much different. Slap a lift kit on it and a Plum Quick motor under it and you'll have plenty of torque and speed to do what you want to do without any major mods. I've got a Curtis 350 AMP controller and a PQ motor in my personal Precedent. GPS'd it yesterday at 33MPH with PLENTY of torque.

Re: Need advice on what type of hunting cart to buy
Sounds like great advice thanks. IQ meaning Club car right?
That 350 amp controler work with the stock wiring? |
