G29 vs Drive 2
How much is the ride improved on the Drive2 vs the drive1?
Trying to balance the cost of changing carts vs refurbishing my 2008 |

Re: G29 vs Drive 2
If the 2008 is in good shape, trade it in. 2008 team axle is an expensive ticking time bomb preparing to blow up your wallet. You will love the Drive2 ride & quietness.

Re: G29 vs Drive 2
The input shaft is known to fail ($$$.$$), the hubs are known to strip, taking the axle shaft with it ($$$$.$$), the internal wet brakes are ($$$.$$) when they fail. Parts are no longer being produced, so as supply dries up, prices have only one direction to go. At some point not too far in the future, there will be no parts.
Heres an example, the complete rear axle for your cart (JW1-G6300-02-00 transaxle assembly- Msrp $5734.99) |

Re: G29 vs Drive 2
So back to the original question, does the drive 2 ride a bunch better than my 2008 drive.

Re: G29 vs Drive 2
Snowgoose, I'm not trying to be smart-alecky here, but I got a simple question. Maybe I'm missing something. You obviously want to know the ride difference between your care and a Drive2. Since you have your cart, why not go to a dealer and try a Drive2. That way you can compare personally.
You also stated you are in The Villages, so there must be ample opportunity to locate and try out nearly any kind of cart you are interested in comparing. |
