Re: i want to build a hunting cart and need advice
Looks like a series or DCS cart. Is there a run/tow switch on the controller cover under the passenger seat?

Re: i want to build a hunting cart and need advice
Either way they are both good carts, your looking at a series cart. Series carts make more torque than any other drive system, the trade off is they make less speed. An excellent choice for off road use. You can make them go 20-25mph but you have to go a little deeper into the build to do it.

Re: i want to build a hunting cart and need advice
Thank you for he reply . Ok what do I need to do to this cart to keep the speed of say 20 mph and still have all the low end torque I need to climb up hills at a creep...this cart is 36 vol ts what would be the advantage of upgrading to 48 volts .

Re: i want to build a hunting cart and need advice
Forget climbing up hills at a creep.
It's very hard on them. It draws too much amperage & makes too much heat in my experience. 20mph in a series cart will require 48v and an aftermarket torque motor. By the time you are done buying all the necessary performance parts you will have close to $2000 invested to get that kind of performance. It is easier to build for torque or build for speed than both. |

Re: i want to build a hunting cart and need advice
looks like a nice cart to start with.
very pricy to build for torque & speed together. 15mph off road is pretty effective imho |

Re: i want to build a hunting cart and need advice
On the one I'm building now I put a 400 amp controller, HD F/R, 2 ga cables, HD Solenoid, and converted to 48 volts. It runs 20 mph exactly on flat pavement and has awesome torque. I'm still running the stock motor. It's lifted with 22" tires.

Increasing the voltage will give 30-33% more torque and speed. Stock speed is say 12mph + 33% (4mph) equals 16mph and then the tire size increase from 18 to 22 will give you 2-3 mphs usually Most of the guys are putting the 500a control in their carts. The bigger controller is better suited for an aftermarket motor lalter. |

Re: i want to build a hunting cart and need advice
No, it's a fleet speed motor. I thought that was pretty good too. Some carts just seem like everything "clicks" on and this is one of them. I get very few carts like this one where everything comes apart and goes back together like it should. It was an indoor cart that was used in a warehouse so I guess that has a lot to do with how everything comes apart.
