Ezgo Hunting Buggy Help

RAAK · 02-05-2016, 02:10 PM

Hey guys. I'm trying to get my list of parts nailed down to build this buggy. I have found/figured out just about everything I need except the tires and a rear posi. So that's what I need help with. Oh yeah. It's a 1995 Medalist.

Tires: I am looking for the best riding/quietest tire. I don't need mud tires just something with some good tread. I was looking at the Maxxis Ceros 23x8x12. It is a 6 ply tire so I'm not sure if it will ride as good as a 4 ply. Does anyone have experience with these. I just want smooth and quiet. Any recommendations are welcome. It just has to have minimum of 10" rim so my rear discs will fit. I am not opposed to any particular size.

Posi: I know the RXV posi will work but I can't seem to find the parts anywhere. Does anyone know a good source for the parts?

Thank you all in advance.

nope - just give it some time. Somebody with knowledge of these tires will respond. Generally speaking it sounds like you already know a 6 ply tire is not going to produce as soft a grip or ride as a 4 ply. I hope you have plenty of power upgrades for 23s if you are in hilly terrain.

Thanks ScottyB. I just ordered some cables for a Ranger EV from you. I didn't really want 23s but I need them for the creek crossings on our property. I plan on a SPM 48500 and the DD #401 fed by 58.8 volts of lithium.

Hey scottyb, speaking of tires, what size are the tires on that red, white, and blue cart in your profile pic? Are those 8" wide all around? I'm trying to decide what 24x8-12s would look like on my RXV front and back.

What part of the country are you hunting in? I use mine in S.W. Pa. and I run 22x11x10" Gator tires. I need mud throwers to get up 'n down the hills we have here in the snow and rain. Noise really isn't a factor as generally speaking I'm not going much faster than 5mph and getting out of deep snow or deep mud is much more important than a little noise over the rare instance of dry hard packed dirt.
