Random.....why aren't RXV's more popular?
Just as it says....saw one listed for sale near me (2012 white rxv $4k) and just wondered how come I don't see more of them?

Probably depends where you are. Very popular where I am.

Cost is one factor they run more than the TXT's.

Re: Random.....why aren't RXV's more popular?
I'm down in Houston....when I saw the one for sale today I wondered if it was a good deal since I never see them listed. Don't even know how they differ from a TXT....all I've ever owned.
I know it was 48v, as it had four 12v Trojan batteries innit |

Re: Random.....why aren't RXV's more popular?
Still a golf cart but altogether different running gear. AC (brushless) motor. No wheel brakes. Motor does all braking except parking brake that is mounted to the motor and is mechanical but electrically operated and automatic. All of them are 48v and usually 4x12v batteries but can also have 6x8v batteries. Higher performance than stock DC motored carts especially when climbing hills. Almost no performance upgrades available. 22-24 mph possible after software change and 20-21" tall tires. No lift required. More is possible if you can find people with skills.
Not user friendly for modification or repair of electronics. Specialized tools eg. scanner required. |

Re: Random.....why aren't RXV's more popular?
Well, I might have mislead you a little. I have both a TXT which has been modified with alltrax controller, speed motor and 48v and a stock RXV. The TXT can barely keep up with the RXV on the flats and has no chance going up hills. Not even close. So when I say practically no performance mods available it is because not much needed.
The electrical system is definitely not for tinkerers if that is your jam. Current TXT's are 48v and can be upped in performance considerably with just a controller change. Late model Club Cars also. |

A totally stock 2012+ Curtis controller RXV can be programmed to drive at up to about 30 MPH with properly inflated stock tires/wheels, but I don't recommend greater than 25 MPH without adding aftermarket brakes and making sure all of the front end bushings/bearings/steering components are tight and up to the task. "Death Wobbles" are not fun at speed. Bob |
