I'm thinking the power to weight ratio is going to be too much........so, I bought some lead ingots for weight distribution. I've always been battling the too much weight issue to keep from having so much voltage sag...........now, looking at having to add weight to get traction. Hopefully running the LiPos in the stock cart first will give me some data as to the right combination of power and weight needed to get the right grip and keep it pointed straight. We'll see soon...............
Take care my friend......

Voltage sag will be a thing of the past. These cells are something else.

I know if you get too greedy with the voltage you'll burn up stuff........going from AGM to LiPo is a big adjustment.

Agree totally. It's been a pretty steep learning curve for us with some carnage along the way for sure. The data tells the story. The AGM's fell on their face a the hit of the throttle and barely recovered by the finish line. The LiPo's just barely fall off at all and then just stay the same. Definitely hard on parts if you don't have the right setup. We still have a ton to learn but we are gaining on it. I can only imagine how fast your cart will be with the LiPo's!!!
