Series motor upgrade.
With my next tax return I'm going to push a motor upgrade. Any suggestions? FYI, I took my motor down to my local electric motor shop and talked to a different guy than the first time. He shouted behind the corner and then responded with, "We don't do that here, but we can send it to California to a place that does that stuff". Really? That isn't the impression I got from his Dad or whoever I had spoken with the first time.
Regardless, If money is no object. What can I ask for from a series wound motor? Even my Father , the lineman of 40 years, scratches his head and tells me to trust those who know best. Well. you guys know best and I want more speed and torque. I'ld rather have more speed than torque if that helps? It's a series motor so I have lots of torque regardless, I just don't want to stall it out and overheat while I crawl around the neighborhood chasing deer. And another FYI. I hate deer! I tagged one while driving home at 3 am last Tuesday morning. It broke my grille and front header. Luckily it missed all the headlight and blinker assys. Fricken forest rats. *Raises fist, I hate whitetails! I don't even like the taste of them. LOL, I went off on rant there. Anywho. Motor suggestions would be appreciated. Shon. |

Re: Series motor upgrade.
I have eight, T-105s and a 4855 pushing the motor listed below, and I'm happy. Stock rear end and tires. Getting around 25 mph on flat and 37.6 downhill.

Re: Series motor upgrade.
I already have 24 mph on the level. Crap, I might have to go extreme. Yes you have 6.1 HP. I'm wondering how to go further.
FYI, I'm all about extreme. Just look at my build. LOL |

Re: Series motor upgrade.
Gonkulor,
How much speed did you pick up with the 8:1 gears? When I have an extra $650 I'm looking at the PQ Assassin. |

Re: Series motor upgrade.
The 8:1 gears took me upwards to 24mph with everything else stock. I have since upgraded everything else.
Wait. That was also with the 23 inch tires Last edited by Gonkulor; 11-02-2012 at 08:58 AM.. Reason: tires |

Re: Series motor upgrade.
I lost more torque than I thought I would with the big tires. I still have plenty of torque, series motor and all, but I still want more speed. If I had to do it again, I would have geared it to 6:1 and then went torque motor upgrade.

Re: Series motor upgrade.
Just so I understand. The 8:1 gears took you from golf course speed (12-14mph) to 24mph?
I get top GPS speed of 27mph now (ave 24-25). |

Re: Series motor upgrade.
Nope. Fish I wish I was that fortunate. I also added 23 inch tires with the 8:1 ratio. I really figured I would have gotten more speed out of all that but nope I'm still looking for more and I want my motor rewound.
