Increase torque
Not finding what I am looking for easily - hoping I can by just asking
The cart in question is a 98 western 400 36v (basically a ezgo txt) Stock everything in the power train, batteries are less than a year old, 4ga wires also less than a year old. I do not want to change to 48v I am looking to pick up additional torque. The wires made a surprising difference but I would like more. We commonly have 4 people on the cart and while it moves out nice, a little more control would be better. I would like to be able after these upgrades to consider a mild lift and larger tires. I know if I proceed with that now in its current state, 4 riders will kill it In simple terms, what am I looking for? Motor, controller and solenoid? If so, is there a single package that I can consider or is it best to piece it together? |

Re: Increase torque
A motor alone is likely going to be a trade off with more torque & less speed. A new controller will add torque at lower speeds, but not a ton better for how much speed is lost going up hills, bigger tires will make this worse. More Volts is really your best option if loosing speed is not acceptable. Larger tires will get some of your speed back if you go with a higher torque motor, but stock controller is gonna hate bigger tires no matter how you look at it.

Re: Increase torque
Get just a torque motor, but look for one approved for use with stock controller. A torque motor with lower rpm rating generally will be best for you, as speed is no issue at all for you. Call/look around for torque motors.
