What System Does this Cart Have Please?
I am looking at this cart tomorrow morning. It is going to be 600.00 as you see it. I am going to use it as a project cart to use at the campground. I tried the resources here to figure out PDS vs Series etc....but this cart is a 2000 and seems to be oddball from what I read. If you look at the link you can see pics. It does have a toggle switch that says F and T on the controller box but it also has the forward/reverse switch by leg under seat which is a contradiction. So if you guys could give me a heads up on what system it has and pros. / cons. to the system it is. Also feel free to comment on what I am getting for the price? Also includes a used body (Not shown) that is in fine condition to replace the one that is in pics.

I'm guessing it is a DCS cart. The back of the F/R lever will have a silver, hockey puck looking piece in the middle with a small microswitch on the left and another on the right of that hockey puck looking piece. I couldnt see the back of the F/R in the pictures. Mine is a 99 DCS and I really like it. Hit me up if you need used parts, I have a parts DCS cart with most parts still on it.

This image explains the differences. See the DCS and how the rear of the F/R looks and the micros on each side. I could be wrong there were some differences around 2000-2001. Maybe the early PDS's had F/R lever instead of toggle. I'm not sure. Someone smarter than me will reply soon. I'm still fairly new at the cart world. Good luck with whatever you get. You will enjoy the your future project. |

Re: What System Does this Cart Have Please?
Since I can't see the controller under it's cover, and I can't see the F/R mechanism clearly in the picture, I'm gonna go with the only real clue I have. In this pic there is a gold decal under the charging port, and I will bet it says Precision Drive System. I have seen a few decals like that before. The first PDS carts were manufactured using DCS hardware for F/R switches, making them truely ******* carts. Nothing wrong with this setup as far as I remember.

Re: What System Does this Cart Have Please?
Thanks guys for replies. So it seems there was a line above the chart that says "this does not apply for model year 2000" So it seems like I have the magic in between models cart.
So my next question is does it matter either way for the cart? As far as I should stay away from it if ........... And any comment as to price for what I am getting? Thanks, Frank |

Re: What System Does this Cart Have Please?
I have always been told to stay away from a year 2000 pds. It was a one year nightmare that was replaced the following year.
CC made theirs too...... right about the same time. The 98 Regen I was another cart to stay clear of. |

Re: What System Does this Cart Have Please?
I must have bad luck, the cart i found last week was a CC 1998 with the regen system too. Thanks to you guys I avoided that. Looks like I will do the same here. So if I am looking for ezgo... in your opinion should i look for pre 2000 DCS cart or 2001 and up to get the PDS?
Thanks, Frank |
