Difference between an IQ cart and Regen II

Has a back seat but will be rarely used.

Call Plum Quick and tell them what you want. They'll put a package together for you.

Looking at their executioner motor. Thanks

The only thing I would warn you about is the torque. I have the executioner motor and its great for speed. But I have a friend that has a series cart and he can take me any day in torque. Series are build for torque and shunt motors for speed (that's what I have heard everywhere). It's apparently kinda hard to get both.

Do you have at least as much torque as you did when it was stock?

This is directly from the Curtis Website:

I heard that Series motors produce more torque than SepEx motors.
This is not true when an electronic motor controller is used. A motor controller will limit the current to a Series motor, effectively limiting its torque to the controller’s maximum current rating. A Series motor will only provide more torque than an equivalent SepEx motor if the Series motor is connected directly to a battery without any current limiting. In this case, the stalled motor current would be very high due to zero armature back EMF. However, once the motor got spinning, the torque would rapidly decrease.

I have a torque motor in my cart and it gets 25 mph. Mine is a GE but now it is manufactured by AMD.
You can find this motor if you google "7 hp @ 5106 rpm"
It will require an upgraded to a 500 amp controller, either GE or Alltrax
