72 volts or custom PQ motor?
I have a series txt D&D motor 170-0001-001 20% tq motor on 48 volts, 22" tires. My friend has the same cart on 23", 36v and stock everything else. We are at a dead heat on top end at around 15.5-16 mph. I have more on take off of course. He wants to buy my 48v components from me if I go 72 volts. I know 72 volts will stress the motor and I have a temp probe glued to the motor casing with conductive epoxy and LED gauge to monitor temps. But that isn't my concern or question right now.
It will cost about the same to sell him my parts and upgrade to 72v as it will to get a custom PQ motor built. My goal is about 20% more tq and 10mph or so gain top speed. Which one will give me the best performance? (considering a perfect world where my d&d motor will survive forever on the 72 volts). |

I say motor, components for 72 batt controller solenoid and new motor in the end I'm sure once you blow that one on the 72v. Motor should get you there. And replacement parts will be cheaper. And don't forget the fab work to make/alter battery tray.

Re: 72 volts or custom PQ motor?
D&D built me a custom 72v series motor for $450 plus shipping and I had it in a week. They dyno test each and every motor they make and can send you the dyno sheet if you ask.
When I called PQ they quoted me $750 for the same motor with 3 weeks build time. |

Re: 72 volts or custom PQ motor?
I have the 2ga cable and lugs. 3 8v batteries. One under driver seat and 2 in bag well. If a motor will get me there, It would be easier.
Ill look into d&d for sure. |

Re: 72 volts or custom PQ motor?
mjhoward, looking at your sig, your cart is the same as mine, except I am still at 36v....but it baffles me that you are only at 15.6-16 mph......this leads me to believe that you are still using your stock motor......I have the same controller, cables, F/R, Solenoid.....BUT I have an AMD Raptor motor.....and even at 36v it get me to 27 mph. IF/WHEN I got to 48v.....it will get close to 35 mph.....
so for me, its a no brainer......get a high speed motor and kick your buddies A$$. |

Will the raptor pull the front wheels? I had to set my acceleration rate from 12.5% to 60% to get it to. |

Re: 72 volts or custom PQ motor?
I'd think you'd have to choose between popping wheelies and doing 40 mph, unless you have a LOT of HP and Amps.
But for my sig setup with VERY aggressive controller settings, I have to be rolling backwards to pull the wheels off the ground with stock tires, but I blow away every sparky and gasser ('cause they don't know how to disable their governor), in my four subdivisions. |
