Purple Motor

Can anyone give an honest answer as to what to expect from a PQ bandit motor only ???The cart is a 99 Txt series,36v,lifted,22s,back seat and roof.It's slow has no tork,we are working with limited funds and the bandit price is good if I had any idea of what to expect.I know you get what you pay for,but I have done full conversions(motor,alltrax,4ga,hd contactor,hd f&r)and found them to be much less performance then advertised..Thanx for any opinions.Dave

Are you staying with the stock 275 amp controller?

My buggies speed went from 14 MPH to 20 MPH with the PQ motor(I upgraded to 4 gauge wires also). I did not notice any torgue difference, but at the time all I did was run on flat roads. The people at PQ are good people, I called several times before I decide. I shipped my motor on Monday, I had it back on Friday.

Scotty,yes on the stock 275 curtis.Dave

That's going to be a limiting factor in performance regardless of what results you get. The motor will always be performing within the controller limits....

Went from 28 to 31 but I also have a 500 amp Altrax controller....

davet, my brother's cart is almost identical to yours and when we put in a bandit we picked up 2-3 mph and some more torque. Scottyb is correct that the controller is going to be the limiting factor. May be better to go with a bigger controller first.. We did the motor first on ours because I was already there picking up mine and bought his, ie no shipping. My 2 cents

Thanx Guys for the replys,sent the motor to PQ yesterday,Rick at PQ said to expect 20% increase in speed and tork and for this cart that would be a huge improvement.If the customer gets 20% from this he'll go on to controller 4 ga and HD components.In this economy it's tough getting them to go for the whole deal in one shot and a stock pds will still spank em..Thanx Dave
