2000 TXT series fixer upper - what would you do next?
I got this 2000 series TXT pretty cheap a few weeks ago. It had flip flop seats but nothing else added from original stock. I just got done adding a 6" jakes lift kit, rear Heavy Duty Springs, 22" 12 10 wheels/tires. and tonight I'm gonna put in a horn, voltmeter, remount a radio and speakers and a few switches.
I'm getting about 13MPH with this new setup, which was a 1-2 MPH improvement. The batteries were refurbished from what I'm told by the previous owner, and it looks like an upgrade to #4 cables is in order next... My kids want more speed! This is my first Golf Cart build so I'd like some ideas. What would you do? |

Re: 2000 TXT series fixer upper - what would you do next?
If the seller means, by refurbished, what I would mean, your batteries are not long for good operation. No amount of chemicals or charging is going to replace the natural depreciation of the electromechanical process.
So, plan on new batteries in the not too distant future. I have 98 TXT series driven cart. I assume that's what you meant when you said you have a 2000 series TXT. I get between 19 and 21 mph, depending upon many variables, (surface, terrain, etc). I have a heavy duty solenoid, an AXE4844 Alltrax controller, heavy duty F&R switch, 2 guage cables and an EMP 2 speed, (high torque/high speed) motor and 36 volts. This system is also compatible with 48 volts which, theoretically, should bump me to about 25 mph. Check with Scotty B, or some of the other sponsors for a package deal on all the parts. |

Schtibo.....the magic question is....."HOW FAST DO YOU WANT TO GO?" As the sign in the speed shop us true..."Speed cost money....How fast do you want to go?"
I too have the same model cart, TXT Series Drive, and as you can see in my sig, I have upgraded it all. my top speed is 27 MPH. when/if I make the jump to 48v, that will get up to about 35 mph. |

Since you need batteries soon, consider going to 48 volts for 33% more speed and torque.

Anyway, wasn't intending on hijacking the post, just agreeing that those are a great combo of mods. Battery pack is the first thing I'd do though, as I had batteries that under load dropped to about 4.4volts and they blew. It would show a three bar power loss in 10 minutes. New batteries I ran for nearly an hour and never lost a bar |

Got my new Trojan Pack in this weekend and bought my 400A controller - Alltrax. Gonna break in the batteries and then put in the controller later to see what improvements are for each. turns out i had '08 batteries that never gave me any get up and go. Now I got amps, volts and reliability. There's alot to be said for that!
