Speedometer

donhow · 12-11-2011, 07:37 PM

I installed a Revolution GR258-GPS-01 in my 2001 ClubCar and am very satisfied.
The wiring was relatively simple and the installation simple because of the GPS.
I ordered it from Speedhut (www.speedhut.com) for a delivered price of $144.96. The gauge is a 2 5/8 in. diameter analog with 40MPH top speed and it is available in black or white with a choice of dial and pointer colors and dash lighting. With an adapter (provided) I fit it into a 2" hole previously used for a battery voltage status meter. I replaced the old analog voltage meter with a small digital meter that takes up little space on the console. The GPS antenna is provided and contains a magnetic attachment. Also included is a small push switch that gives a readout of the highest speed recorded. For the price and simplicity and great looks I am recommending that anyone thinking about installing a speedometer take this into consideration. I am glad I did.

I went with http://www.speedhut.com/custom_gauge...number-928.htm due to for LSV requirements I needed a odometer.

Should be installing it this weekend, due to college course and work I haven’t had time to install all the toys.

I like your cart

Looks good, do you have "hours" meter? Speedo doesn't show odometer.

oconnorb · 12-19-2011, 06:14 AM

How do you like the Raptor motor? Affect on batteries? I have to upgrade, been waiting on some input from venders.

Didn't you post previously that you got a speedometer with odometer from Speedhut?

I haven't experienced any significant battery drain. Of course these are new batteries and I installed new 4ga. wiring plus upgraded the power control devices. Upgrading the F/R switch, the solenoid, and the speed control help reduce the power loss in the system.
