2014 TXT 48 Drive Train Upgrade Suggestions
I recently was gifted a 2014 EZGO TXT 48, and have zero experience with carts. I will start by saying that I am a hobbyist by nature and am fairly handy, so no project intimidates me.
With that being said…I have already stripped the cart down to the frame so I have a blank canvas. I have already ordered 14” wheels with 23” all-terrain tires. Next up is the lift…currently leaning towards the 7” Rhox A-Arm kit (open to other recommendations though). The cart will be a multi use cart (street, campgrounds, mild hills, hunting). The cart has 6 brand new Trojan 875s and will have a rear seat. I would like to be in the 25-30 mph range but wouldn’t be disappointed with more. Now onto my question…Motor and Conroller upgrades?!?!? I am assuming the stock motor couldn’t achieve my speed/torque wants. |

I have a 2013 and hated my all terrain tires, they made it vibrate like crazy on the road, I switched to the atv 25" tires I have now and love it. as for a motor and computer see my signature

XCT48500- TXT48 and leaving the stock motor for now. But wondered if this would restrict me to certain motor upgrades down the road. |

If you go with the 500 just turn it down to 80% output until you change the motor out. Or leave it and it will motivate you upgrade it sooner

Re: 2014 TXT 48 Drive Train Upgrade Suggestions
Thanks for the reminder KG. More than likely (cuz I know how I am) I’ll end up upgrading the motor at the same time. Just trying figure out which motor?!?!? Based on my current research It sounds like desired speed will be easy to reach so motor upgrade should focus on torque. Currently looking at the admirals.

I have the 2014 TXT which I just finished installing the Navitas 500 KW DC-AC conversion kit. It comes with the motor and controller. Lithium batteries, stock tires, no lift, HD solenoid, 2g wires and the top speed is just under 40mph. I'm not currently tracking any other motor that gets that kind of power.

I ordered a XCT500TXT48, Solenoid, and 2g cables from ScottyB yesterday. Will try it on the stock motor and research additional motor options in the meantime. Body is at the paint shop, wheels/tires, lift kit, and dual action springs should all arrive this week. Shhhhhhh….don’t tell my wife…she doesn’t know yet. |

Re: 2014 TXT 48 Drive Train Upgrade Suggestions
My wife and I went golfing with another couple. I told him to fly by us on their way to the golf course. We showed up 5 min behind them as they sat there drinking Bloody Marys. The whole round he kept talking $h!t about our cart...later that night my wife was asking if I can do that to ours...annnnd here I am.
