Lift and tires installed. What you think?

LizardLeg · 08-24-2011, 02:11 PM

My only issue with the 480 amp controller - not sure if it is enough

Sometimes I'll get in a bind and will have to get off the gas because the wheels just stop - anyone running 15:1 gears for the torque?

Did the speed calculator. Right now it figures me at:

3724rpm, 12.44 gears, 22" tires = 19.6mph - almost dead on what I get

If I went 15:1, then this drops to:

3724rpm, 15:1 gears, 22" tires = 16.2mph

I could live with that until I get the PQ purple dust on the motor but what kind of torque increase am I looking at real world?

Very nice!!!

I thought about doing the gears as well. I have done themon trucks, but never a cart. I am not sure how much more torque it would be. Maybe someone can enlighten us. The gears are not expensive and if it gives a good bit of torque I would definitley do it.

About the contoller, Mine is believed to have had a problem from the start

and now Logisystems is no longer. When I first connected everything, in reverse my cart would kind of buck when throttle was applied. It can't bak over a 4" block without getting a running start. It seems that the contoller justs starts and stops rapidly. It won't build up any power. I swapped the 3 and 9 o'clock wires on the F/R and it did the same thing forwards. I am shipping the contoller to ScottyB on the Aug. 30 sohe can test it on hs cart. We think it is faulty. Hello 700 AMP FSIP.

nice cart, will it float with those tires

Thanks, the only reason I got them is because they were $45 a piece with free shipping. Couldn't beat the price. I believe they are discontinued.

Never went in deep enough to find out. It started out rough. Well it is still rough, but it is a hunting and trail riding machine. No need to make it pretty. Working on custom brush guard and fender flares.

Madoc, I need that and a motor. It's just so expensive. Need to make a little overtime at work for the upgrades.
