Re: I need help deciding on fixing or upgrading cart.
Does that say Precision drive system?
I ask because I see a DCS F&R and Motor in the pics. AND a 2000 year ID tag. This was the first year PDS, More of a crossover cart than the PDS we know today. you are best off to revert to a DCS cart system.... which I think is no problem since you have the DCS motor and F&R, You need the controller and solenoid pkg anyway. But you are looking at $600 (+ or -) in batteries and $469 in controller pkg http://cartsunlimited.net/Custom_Options.html There may be some additional wiring needed hopefully somebody who has converted one of these will chime in. So if it's worth fixing to you, give me a call! |

Re: I need help deciding on fixing or upgrading cart.
How come the 400 amp DCS goes 20, where the 400 amp PDS goes 24? Since you got that cart for free, I would say you should go for a 500 amp, custom motor, and 48 volt batteries and charger.

Re: I need help deciding on fixing or upgrading cart.
A DCS motor produces more torque than a PDS motor. There is always a trade off of speed for torque.

About two grand including tires and wheels. I'm also thinking about re-doing seats and painting.

Re: I need help deciding on fixing or upgrading cart.
I'd go with the 400 amp controller, 4 ga cables, 6 8 volt batteries, and a new or remanufactured charger (48v). Then custom paint, new seat covers, and a set of used rims and tires (new cost >$400, I know a dealer that has a huge selection of lightly used for $250 a set, rims and tires) All of this is easy, you can do it yourself.

Re: I need help deciding on fixing or upgrading cart.
By the way, $2000 at a dealer will get you basically a working version of what you have already in better condition. So take a look at what you have now and say, "Do I want to get the same cart in proper working order, or put in my time to with the same budget have a fully custom cart?" If you pick option #1, your current cart isn't really worth anything, because everything is missing, but fixed up you will be in the positives if you decide you don't want it when your finished. I say to go for it, we need some good pictures so we can see a before and after.
