Club Car IQ upgrades what should I get
I am new to golf carts but, I am fairly mechanical, so I will be able to do most if not all of the upgrades.
Last August I purchased a 2003 48 volt club car DS serial number is AQ0316-273748 So far the mods that have been done are Jakes 6" lift 22" tires Heavyduty rear Leaf springs New Batteries. The cart will be used for a hunting cart in Western, Pa so torq. Is a must, but speed doesn't matter. What do I need and what should I get? |

Re: Club Car IQ upgrades what should I get
you will need to get a bigger contoller (400 amps min) , then a heavy duty f&R switch followed up with 4 gauge wire set .

Re: Club Car IQ upgrades what should I get
Yeah I knew I needed the Controller I talked to Scotty B about a 500 watt controller, 2 ga. wires and an upgraded torque motor, I was under the impression with the IQ I did not need an upgraded F/R. I'm looking for actual parts / places to purchase from people that have actually done this to their carts, Scott seemed very knowledgeable but I'd like to do some comparison shopping and some homework. I don't want to spend money I don't need to but I also don't want to have to upgrade this stuff again in 6 or 8 months
Thanks Gary |

Re: Club Car IQ upgrades what should I get
Call Robby at PQ he can tell you the way to go as far as motor for torque.
Myself I'm a series cart guy and u can get a lot more out of a series cart than u can a IQ. I have gutted several IQ and made them series and use just about all the factory wiring in the cart. It is expensive up front but well worth the end results. |

Re: Club Car IQ upgrades what should I get
Like I said I'm new to the whole cart thing, I thought there are more advantages to having an IQ then disadvantages?
What would the cost be to switch everything over to a series cart and what advantages would I truly see? I'm not going to race this and I only travel about 1/10 mile at the most on the road so speed is not a need for me. Thanks Gary |

Re: Club Car IQ upgrades what should I get
500 amps, 2 awg wires, 400 amp solenoid and torque motor of your choice. I like Plum Quick for motors.
Do your homework on your choice of controllers. With Alltrax you can change settings via a laptop computer, with Curtis you get one program for free and every additional program requires a pull and send to FSIP for programming. I had some issues getting my programming 100%, but they did not charge for the 2nd programming. I am very happy with my Curtis 500 amp control. I went with Curtis because, at the time, people were having issues with choppy starts on IQs with Alltrax. I talked to some engineers in the business and chose Curtis. Things may be different now, so do your homework. Being able to program from your own garage is a huge factor to consider. Good luck. |

Re: Club Car IQ upgrades what should I get
After talking with some people on here I have decided to convert my cart to a series cart. I just have not decided on which controller or motor brand yet, or which amp controller l'm going to use (500 or 700)
I live in western Pa so we will be climbing some moderate hills. |
