Lost torque on motor swap

jcfarms

Hi, Guys
I have a 2000.5 clubcar I lifted. 22inch tires. the stock 3.5 HP motor did fair on the hills. I wanted more speed and torque. I went with a 9.5 HP D&D 170-1-2 motor. Now I have no torque at all. I bought from redhawk. their site said I did not need a new controller. I believe now that I do. Redhawk tells me this motor should not be used on a lifted cart ( after I bought it). I checked D&D motors web site and it suggest it will be fine they sell it as their economy hunting buggy motor which is what I am using it for.
I just need some input from YA'LL
Thanks

BGW

You did not say how it does on the speed.....is it faster than before? Sounds to me like you got a speed motor not a torque motor. Can you post any info on the motor? I looked around their site and didn't find that particular motor listed. A motor not recommended for a lifted cart will probably not improve with a bigger controller.....Sounds like you may have to sell that one to a road racer and buy one from one of our sponsors who can help you choose the correct torque motor for your cart......
