CC DS, Hunting Buggy, Best Electrical Upgrades
I am looking for the best electrical upgrades for my 01 CC DS, I have installed new wires and terminals, "2GA", bypassed the OBC, DPI Accusense charger, with the intention of new controller, motor, F/R switch, solenoid.
For starters, I am a big guy, 6' 1" and 390lb, the cart is mainly going to be used as a hunting buggy, so speed is really not a big issue, but I want it to be able to pull whatever I hook it to. It has fold down back seat, 6" Madjax HD A-arm lift kit, HD Rear Leafs, 23" tires. The terrain is extremely hilly, creek crossings, typical hunting scenarios. I have been looking at the SR 48600 option on Carts-unlimited without the wires, which includes the Alltrax 600 controller, 400A Solenoid, and HD F/R Switch, with a torque motor from D and D. Is the 600A controller going to be an advantage over the 500A controller? I have read where the 600A is a waste of $ due to the fact you can never get that many amps out of a 6 8v pack set-up. Is there a better option on controllers that I am not aware of, as well as solenoids, F/R Switch, or Motors, and is there any other pieces of the setup I am missing that will require further upgrades? |

Re: CC DS, Hunting Buggy, Best Electrical Upgrades
See my sig for my DS Hunting Cart. Directional ATV tires is important pulling hills off road with a one-wheel drive cart. Also, I replaced the steering shaft with a shorter one from a limo DS. I like the extra belly room.

Re: CC DS, Hunting Buggy, Best Electrical Upgrades
A shorter column is definitely in the near future.....I am not familiar with the IQ Conversion, my short experience with carts have been series carts. My biggest concern is torque, if I break something because of too much torque so be it, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, I do not want to run out of power on these hills. On the flip side, I have never been around a cart that has had any updates, I just know the stock with the bigger tires is not going to get it done.

Re: CC DS, Hunting Buggy, Best Electrical Upgrades
Look at my sig. I have everything you're after minus a 600amp controller. I'm also running directional thick lug tires that measure 23" tall.
The biggest amp draw I've seen was a little over 400 amps and that was for a split second while punching the go pedal at the base on a pretty steep hill from a dead stop. I was going to go with a SR48600, but after talking with another site sponsor he said it'd be a waste of money for amps I'll never see. Bear in mind, the Alltax SR48500 controller has a peak output of 575 amps. |

Re: CC DS, Hunting Buggy, Best Electrical Upgrades
I’m researching doing a similar build.
Looks like Navitas dc-ac is the only way to go! |

Re: CC DS, Hunting Buggy, Best Electrical Upgrades
I’m pretty sure NCPW uses the BMS for his lithium batteries to check amp draw. There are options for other setups but they tend to be on the pricey side.
