Beefing up my cushman

[JonnyDingo]

So I'm in the initial planning stages of making my old azz electric 68 cushman a bit more of an offroad cart. From reading your guys posts, it seems like I may need to do some work to the electrical system if I am going to put bigger tires on my cart. So what is all this controller business, and how had is it to get more torque/ power out of my 36v system? Do I need to go to 48? And if so, how hard is that? Lots of questions, I know, but humor me, I'm new to all this madness!!

THe best you can do is read everything and then decide to go to a 48v controller system.

i'm on the www with my phone tonight, which is slow. Is there a thread on here somewhere that discusses how to do that? i really wouldn't know where to start. pretty sure she has a ge motor, I'm going to try and get all the specs this week and post em on my off road project thread.

Jonny, go to the top and click on SEARCH and put in your key words.

This site search works really well.

So I'm not sure i even have a controller! I got some pics of the motor, I'll post the rest on my thread in the off road section...but in all seriousness this isn't worth it if I can't get more juice!! I know you guys have said it is near impossible on newer carts to go gas, but since this is belt driven...is it possible??
