Need more juice for climbing hills

Jmzvet · 11-10-2017, 08:46 PM

First post. Thanks in advance for the help.

Recently bought a 2002 EXGO TXT PDS 36V. Immediately contacted Scotty at CU. Purchased and installed Alltrax 400, 200 solenoid, and waiting to install 2G cables. I have 20in tires. I use it to drive the neighborhood and take my kids to school. My girls enjoy the ride and I can squeeze into tight spots which is great.

Cart hits about 22mph on my neighborhood streets. Nothing is really flat around here so Ive gone anywhere from 8 mph on hills to over 30 downhill.
I need more power for climbing hills. Not sure if the new cables will help at all.
I could do 42V pretty easily I guess? My 6 batteries are in good shape.
I really dont want to buy 6 new batteries and a charger for 48V.

New motor?

42v and a new (stronger) torque motor - yes that will help a lot

My current setup, 1 addition 6V battery, 42V charger, and a new TQ motor will do it?
Which motor and charger do you suggest?

Thanks

Use the Admiral B2 motor, it makes 8 hp, the stock motor is 2.5 hp.
The DPI 42v charger is a great choice.
