cc frame difference?

jethaulin · 03-28-2017, 09:52 AM

new to cc. Planning a bare frame build up and have 4 carts to pick from behind the garage (1-36v and 3-48v). Is there a difference in a 36v coil cart to 48v controller cart frame?

The DS body style and frame was nearly unchanged for 20 plus years. The frame should be the same. There was a front hub change at some point.

36 looks to be in best shape. the 48v carts all have broken welds on the floor.

Aluminum cracks when flexed repeatedly. That is one of the problems with the Aluminum frames. Although it is usually the welds or next to the weld that cracks. They are great when it comes to improving the weight to power ratio for maximum performance

The 36v can be converted to 48v since you will be rebuilding the drive system as well as the cart.

settled on a 48 frame. do I want to us the 36 motor or stick with the 48 at 48v

That depends upon what you want to end up when you are done and how much money you want to put into it.... What is the planned end result and how and where will it be used?

well found a body on craigslist and just getting started. want to know before I sell/part out the rest of the carts what to save. I kwon 36v motor powered by 48v will go 33% faster. just don't know if that is better then using the 48v that is bolted up to it already. may down the road rework controller/motor/batteries. just don't want to get rid of anything that would set me one step ahead to start with.

It just depends upon what you want the cart to do. I would keep the 36v motor if you think 3.5hp will do what you want. Like street use with added speed on a budget.

jethaulin,
Looks like a great project.

I love the 57 Chebby body!

I am no expert, but I am also building a car from scratch. My current plan is to finish the chassis while I finalize plans for the drive line.

Is the 57 Chevy body the one you are buying?
