First off-road experience and I want more!
Probably not the best place to post this since there is an off-roading forum but point here is to say that I took my first off road adventure. It is dry as a bone here so no mud to worry about other than the holes that will never dry up. I am completely stock other than the tires and lift(and of course some tunes).
The experience wasn't bad - Its relatively flat here with some lows and highs - 4 to 5 feet tops - along the right of way. I intentionally crawled down and up. In fact I backed back down one just so I could crawl back up to see what it's breaking point was. Yes I got right to the top and it ran out of torque and power. Went back down a few feet, picked up some minimal speed to clear. No buggy but I can see I want MORE!!!!... I see cables, F/R switches, solenoids, controllers and a perhaps a new motor in my future...distant future. I will wait till I get back from the beach trip(1 month in July) before thinking about my next step. But for now...I have the fever - thanks guys!!!!!! P.S. I've got to start bring my camera - I am seeing more deer in the last week than I have in the 10 years I have lived out here. |

Re: First off-road experience and I want more!
I've since sold that cart, but it had a custom DnD speed/torque motor, alltrax 4855 controller, every cable was 2 ga. and everything was heavy duty and 48v. It would do 26 mph on flats and enough torque to pull the wheels 6 inches off the ground from a dead stop. It was a fun cart but I kept spinning hubs and blowing holes in the differential due to all the torque and the 26" tires. This was it all clean and purdy.
