Newbie looking for tips
First of all, Hi all , since this is my first post.
Now, I am totally new to golf carts, in fact, I dont even own one currently, but have been looking around craigslist for one. I guess I am just looking for advise right now, is there anything I should know while looking for one? Any particular models or munufacturers to look for or stay away from? I have built a couple muscle cars over the years and have found building one from the ground up is always much more expensive but at least you know what you have, is that the same case with golf carts I assume? Thanks for any advise |

Re: Newbie looking for tips
Welcome to the forum. what are you planning for your cart. Is this going to be a golf only cart? A campground cart? A ripping bad *** cart? Your question has many answers depending on where you want to end up.

Re: Newbie looking for tips
A campground toy to start with, but as with most toys, I am sure I will want to do some modifications once I learn more about these and what mods are available. Likely lights,lift kit and wheels for sure.

 I know 3 car batteries are not suppose to be used, but could you temporarily hook them up just to test drive it and verify it does work? |

6 batts will be about $450-$650 depending on brand. And a charger is not cheap either. Used $50-$200 new $250-$450. So add it up and see what your willing to pay from that point. |
