Default 36v EZGO to 48V?

I just got a 2007 txt 36v ezgo cart with a 6" lift, 23" tires, rear flip seat and windshield. Cart needed new batteries so i got it really cheap. i purchased 6 8v batteries, 2g wires, 48v state of charge meter, DPI Charger along with
•D&D 170-010-0002 Motor
•New AXE 4855 500 amp Controller with fuse
•MZJ-400 Solenoid
•3 amp Diode
•220 or 470 ohm Pre-charge Resistor w/ 3/8" terminal

What else is needed to do the conversion?
This cart will be used to hunt with so i also got the realtree hardwood camo wrap and need to buy a light kit.

Im a rookie in the Golf Cart world and use to working on ATV's as there is no comparison between the two. Any help is appreciated.

How much did all of those upgrades run you? Im looking at upgrading mine over time and Ide like to weigh the price of upgrading versus just getting a Bad Boy Buggy.

I would say you need a HD f/r switch sounds like you should be running good

You might get by with the original f/r switch for a little while but that is now your weakest link in your amp delivery system. After spending that much for all the upgrades why not spend another $70 and finish it? You are sending more amperage through that switch than it was designed to carry.

You wont need a heavy duty switch till yours burns up when you are way back in the woods, and whoever said u can leave it on a lifted 500 amp 48volt cart with 23" tires and a amp sucking motor thats gonna be used for hunting is.............. well their an idiot.
