D&D or EMP

jdbuckshot · 06-20-2014, 09:50 AM

I am in the process of finishing the mods on my cart.

96 club car with z lift and 22" tires - cargo bed and front basket. 48V completely stock right now

I want to upgrade motor/Controller/etc to make it more capable off road.

I am interested in the following package from EV Drives

evdrives.com/product_p/gk-81-25.htm

I'm also interested in the HD two speed option that EMP builds.

I want good torque to power through mud and got up small hills and through the woods, as well to carry weight- I also want to go approx. 22 MPH

any input on these two options?

any other recommendations ?

PlumQuick, sponsor here for the motor and scottyb Carts unlimited for the controller etc. Service unbeatable!

I've dealt with Carl at EV drives, he is a good guy but don't like or want D&D motor.

JMO!

+1 for Scotty B for the controller, great prices and even better customer service. I called EMP, D&D and Plumquick for motors for my 72 volt club car. Plumquick was the only one willing to build me a motor for my application.

Though they are not a sponsor, the motor and service I got from EMP was far better than I had hoped for. Not one complaint. For a controller package I would definitely go with ScottyB at carts unlimited. Some day I hope he comes up with a 500 amp plug and play package for a G29.

I went with ev drives and happy with results. I spoke with poehl for some questions I had and very supportive. But if you read this forum often you will find plum and Scotty to get the same reviews. I think the sponsors are all good and obviously back up their products and offer support. You need to find the product you want and find the right deal for you.
I have read on here z-lifts Are not for club cars go jakes or all sports
Good luck on your search and finding the right deal for you.

I vote D&D all the way, excellent customer service and super fast delivery. They deliver exactly what they promise.

If D&D says they can't build you a motor for your application it is because they are looking out for you, the motor life and battery life. Worst thing you can do is get a wrong motor for your application that draws way too many amps at full throttle cruising killing your batteries in only a year or two and also dangerously overheating the motor causing it to fail early also.
