'86 EZ-GO upgrade
Does anyone have any pointers on how to upgrade the '86 resistor style cart to one that uses a controller, as far as how to wire it and accelerator modifications?
Also, I just finished upgrading to 4 gauge wire and put in new resistors, contacts, solenoid, added a rear end off a 2003, and a new 3.5 hp 3000 rpm high torque motor. My cart now goes between 15 and 17 mph. Is upgrading to a controller needed? |

Re: '86 EZ-GO upgrade
I'll send you a link for a conversion utilizing existing throttle linkage. Just need to get a controller of your choice.
The resistors are very inefficient since they just "bleed" off excess energy. You should gain run time and longer battery life converting to solid state. |

Re: '86 EZ-GO upgrade
If cart does what YOU want it to do why spend the extra mooola. the best speed/torque upgrade you can do is raise voltage to 48v. You can keep your resistors for now, install a 48v solenoid, 2 6v batteries, and a 12v charger.
In the long run, a controller upgrade is the way to go. With controller you can raise volts to what ever level you want. But all of it takes a lot of dollars. |
