Hi Dale,

No idea if the 5k will fit but I do know that going lithium drops the weight so much the cart is really a completely different animal afterwards. I went from 48v lead acid to 56v lithium on a stock controller and the difference was night and day! Then I put in an aftermarket controller and again, night and day difference! I still run my stock motor and the cart is great.

I used Alltrax but it sounds like you're going with Navitas? It does make sense since you need the motor too and the Navitas AC kits include that. Plus AC motors seem to offer higher max safe RPM from what I've read. I guess they're banded.
