Dcs body
I was having coffee with the old guy's that meet at micky ds. One of the guys said he had a new ezgo body in black, with no need for it. He didn't give a dollar amount for it but it has me thinking about my 95 medalist. Would the plastic body fit my cart? 2nd would I save that much weight changing the metal body. The metal body is in good shape. I painted it last year

Re: Dcs body
According to EZGO, the metal body is only 5 lb heavier than the plastic body.
Oops - noticed you have a DCS - Added specs for DCS carts also. Doesn't make any difference. Same weights listed. Last edited by JohnnieB; 06-13-2016 at 08:46 AM.. Reason: added attachments |

Re: Dcs body
I don't believe it - the metal body has got to be more than 5#s heavier.

They didn't actually give the body weights. Instead it is the cart weight without batteries with a plastic body and with a metal body. Maybe the plastic body has more (or heavier) framework supporting it. |

Re: Dcs body
I had one of the medalist bodies around - It was always in the way and I moved it several times finally tossing it out.....in my opinion it was quite a bit heavier than the plastic type.
Also performance on the metal body cart is slower than the same yr plastic body carts... by a couple of mph. So I have no documentation but in my opinion... there may be a significant weight savings going to the newer body. |

Re: Dcs body
On another thread on here, I remember someone saying the metal body being 200 lbs heavier. I thought that was rediculas heavy. On the other hand, 5 lbs. also sounds alittle light. I would say the weight differnce would not be enough to make a noticable proformance change.
Mgrey70, did you notice any differnce in weight or preformance? |
