Default Converting PDS to Series

I tried the search function and didn't see anything. I got a cart for free, and I'm wondering if it would be easier to go series vs pds

Cons: rear passenger shaft missing
Motor is gone
Batteries are gone

Pro: FREE
I have a spare factory series motor

Can the series motor bolt to a pds axle?

Any suggestions would be great!

Yes the motor will bolt up but you will need additional parts for series drive system. Mainly F&R switching is manual in a series cart and controller controlled in PDS. Both carts have their benefits. What's your intended use and budget for the project?

6-10" lift, 23" tires, radio, light bar, neighborhood driving with hilly situations.

I've got two carts with 6" and there not enough. I may not go that big, I just want to see the benefits of PDS, which is what the cart is now, vs a series, what I'm used too

The series drive system is your better choice for big tires and off road use just because the motor produces consistent torque throughout the rpm range while making less unwanted heat.
PDS is a better people mover street cart

A lift only lifts to body, not the wheels/differential. bigger tires only lift the cart.

That is correct for the rear axle.
