Wolf Did you get a speed motor or a torque motor?

wolf · 11-09-2008, 06:18 PM

it's a GE beast motor "torque" 11.4 HP I think

wolf · 11-09-2008, 06:24 PM

I did not check mileage or hours of run time yet but it seems like it's gonna run the batteries low fast

gps it at 20 MPH and it will climb any hill

I don't know the answer to your question but I do know those are about as big a tire as I have seen on any Golf cart...Big tires take more power to turn, of course..
It sure looks good

Do you have a pic from the side?

In the pic it's raining. Are you sure your not spinning? Other than that those tires are killing all your low end. Check to make sure your getting full throttle and make sure the Alltrax is ramping up right.

wolf · 11-10-2008, 07:15 PM

no tires were not spinning

I thought with the beast motor, 650amp controller ,wires ect. the big tires would not be much of an issue

but I guess size does matter

batteries were bought in the spring

anyone know specific settings on controller that would give it the wheelies?

I haven't seen a 36v cart wheelie yet.

If you are running 48V I think you have the ability to pull the front wheels even with 26" tires. How fast your controller ramps the power up is what determines whether or not the front wheels come off the ground. Just curious, how long is the motor case not including the brush housing?
