Thank You BGW

Eric L · 06-14-2011, 02:43 AM

This is my first post even though I have been BGW member since 09'.I want to thank every forum member...some for answering questions and the rest for asking them.I silently sat back and read post after post learning more after every log on.My sickness started with a 86 Marathon toaster cart needing only batteries.I got a set,put them aside and went to work cutting/welding to mod to solid state.I lifted cart, added aluminum wheels with 22's.PB6 and stock Curtis 275 it ran ok.After a few months I had an electronics repair buddy beef up the controller.I then moved to 48v.
Please understand Im condensing nearly 2 years of upgrades here,there were many other things not mentioned, and all was great...until after thinking I had smoked my controller trying to put the smackdown on a rather ugly mound of dirt. I Called Scotty B and now with the help of Carts Unlimited and PQ I have carpal tunnel from gripping the wheel and sore face muscles from the permanent ear to ear grin.

Under Scotty B's direction I went with a 700A FSIP and he got the Steens to build me a midrange Assassin.I couldnt be happier....unless it started raining disc brake kits.And like you said Scotty my buddies CC is eating EZGO dust...thanks again.
