Default Voltage change

I've read a little here and there about motors that will do both 36 and 48 volt? Is there any reality to this? If so what about on a '04 TXT?

Yes you can run a 36v motor on 48v. You will have to upgrade the controller, solenoid and charger to do this.

YES, when you put more volts/amps to them they will turn faster and supply more torque.

my 96 txt will do about 31mph at 48v and torque you wouldn't believe, but in the near future I'll probably upgrade the motor

For the most part you will gain 33% more torque and speed running the 36v motor on 48v. Upgrades to the amperage delivery system are required.

Other than the parts previously listed I would assume a wire upgrade would be in order as well?

when you say wires......if you are talking HIGH CURRENT CABLES.....(the ones on the batteries, from the controller to the f&r and motor) then YES.....all the others "wires" are fine.

Thank you for the help. I was able to purchase a 48 volt club car from Bowslayer. This precludes my need to upgrade in that part. Now for the other fun stuff . . .
