98 EZGO DCS Upgrade Help
I picked up a 36 volt 1998 EZGO DCS yesterday. The body is in fantastic condition and it has a six inch lift with 23" tires. The batteries are shot so my thought is to convert it to a 48volt cart. It currently has an Alltrax NCX 300DCS controller and I believe the original stock 36 volt motor. I can't read anything on the motor (all worn off) so I believe it is the original. I am thinking of going with a new Alltrax XCT48500, new 400amp solenoid, new 2 gauge cables. My question is will this setup work with the old 36 volt motor? What other parts would I need besides new 48 volt charger? Will the original forward and reverse switch (hockey puck style) work?

Re: 98 EZGO DCS Upgrade Help
Old motor will work, but keep in mind you have put two big "non stock" forces in front of it, huge tires AND a big controller. If you wanted to go "48v" without "big amps" AND "big tires" together, I'd say you'd be golden. You are seriously pushing the envelope. Fortunately for you, when the motor does die, its unlikely you will kill the good stuff you already have.

Re: 98 EZGO DCS Upgrade Help
I am on the fence and may just break down and buy the new motor as a package deal from David Hicks at Revolution. Any ideas on what is the best all around motor I should go with since I have the bigger tires? The cart will be used for Neighborhood drives with moderate hills.
