Converting cart to PDS
I am brand new to the forum and golf carts at that. I have a lifted 2005 36volt EZ-Go with I assume the standard motor and wanted to see what would go into upgrading it to a PDS system to get more speed/performance. Is this easy as buying a PDS motor or what all would go into the conversion? What would I be looking at in terms of $$? Any and all ideas and suggestions is very much appreciated!

Re: Converting cart to PDS
1st - WELCOME!
2nd - You don't want to upgrade to a PDS. The series is better than PDS for a lifted application and the conversion would cost you more than a used cart. To do it, you'd be looking at a new controller, motor, f/r switch, wiring harness... Bad idea |

Re: Converting cart to PDS
Series carts just do better in our area lifted over a PDS. Plain and simple...
Most people get a little pee'd off when they buy a PDS lifted cart, then 3 months later they burn out their controller and they have to pay for the upgrade. Something you don't have to do with a series cart. Now - Once you upgrade the controller on a PDS, then you are correct - they are fine. I don't think this poster asking the question will want to go to the expense in completely converting his series cart to a PDS system - Something I say is a bad idea. Do you recommend him doing the change, SMS? |
