72v question
Is a reversing contactor necessary for the f/r operation or will a hd f/r switch suffice? I'm taking notes and trying to get all my ducks in a row so when I'm able to start my other cart I won't have any surprises. I got a good friend that's an Interstate battery AND an Alltrax dealer. I'm looking at spending $1000 for the big SPM 72V Alltrax controller and 9 HD 8v greentops.

I don't know if my 90 marathon has it's original f&r switch or not (it looks like the original) but not heavy duty for sure and for the last three years it's been going on 72V with no problem. The last year of those 3 years I've been running actually 84V (and 23" dia tires). No problems for me.(actually there is less amps going through the system on high voltage but that also depends on your usage) An HD F&R is probably a good idea regardless of the voltage. Barna |

Re: 72v question
This is going to be a street only cart. My plans are to lower it, no top, custom paint, 72v, disc brakes and rolling on 14's with some lo-profile tires. Seeing Terry H's cart has inspired me to do a street cart. I also want a Jakes sport shifter to give it that hot rod look. it will take awhile to get this done, it'll be hard trying to hide all the money from my wife to do this. Hoping to have it done by next summer.

Re: 72v question
72v_ezgo, is your f/r switch like what's in a txt? With linkage/rod that runs down to a switch? Not familiar with the marathons but the cart I will be doing is an all stock 97 series TXT. And thanks for all the replys guys.

Re: 72v question
You can hide the $ going into it but one day they look at the cart and look at you .... and look at the cart & look at you ...... believe me, I know they know
Good luck with the build. |
