teamkillzone · 06-20-2011, 11:19 PM

i been looking on here and cant seem to find the answer so, i recently bought a 1984 ezgo electric cart.. im basically using it for hunting.. i put 20" tires on it and painted it.

but i want some more speed.. how do i achieve that???

Hello and welcome!

1984 there is only a couple of choices with it.

First motor, then a controller upgrade. the 84 is a coil cart and they aren't much on upgrades. You need to convert it over to a controller.
A motor will make it some faster but will use up the batteries pretty quick so run time will suffer. Changing it over to a controller will be the best bet!

"You need to convert it over to a controller"

i have no idea how to do that but i guess ill start researching it...

We do some of them, basically you replace the speed control system.

So out with the resistor coil speed control system and in with the Solid state speed control

o ok, where can i get that set up at, do you happen to know how much it costs

Speed in an electric vehicle is not cheap ... A solid state conversion runs $650-850 and then the door is open to all modern improvements like high speed motors, gear changes, and big tires.

holy crap!! can i just put a bigger motor on it?

I thought you already asked the bigger motor builder and they told you their motor was for a modern solid state drive system?

I'm sure if you ask enough people, you can find somebody to sell you one.

We are trying to explain why the golf cart drive systems evolved and what you can do with the modern system.
I don't know of anyone running a big motor on a resistor cart. Maybe somebody who has a big torque or speed motor on a 36v resistor coil cart will chime in.

Remember you are talking retail. Our prices are for new parts. If you have the ability and time to do it yourself look for a 1989 are newer cart that is trashed and get all the electronics out of it. This is cheaper but very time consuming!

Yes you can put a high speed motor in the cart now but I doubt you will be happy with it. It will run fine just want have much run time.
