2008 Precedent Motor Upgrade Help
I have the Regen 2 and my motor I believe is the Advance motor, model #EJ4-4001 and my controller is a Curtis #1510A-5251 (250 amp). I want to get more speed, I supposedly have the speed setting at 4 already, maybe going 18 MPH now. Would like to see more like 24 (my DS cart goes about 25).
Pretty sure I could do it with a motor and controller upgrade, but if there is a motor that would be a direct replacement that would sure be easier. Anyone have suggestions or personal experience? Do not think I would pick up enough from a plum quick upgrade, saw something called Roadrunner, maybe that would work. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks. |

Re: 2008 Precedent Motor Upgrade Help
I am just finishing a build - EMP motor on a stock Precedent controller set at private code #4 = 25MPH on GPS, even faster down hills.
I have heard the Plum Quick Bandit does well also, keeping the stock controller but I have never tried it. |

Other than that, I believe there are faster motors available from Plum Quick and at least one member has a Commander motor running something like 28-30mph with a stock controller on a Precedent (IQ). I'll try to find his name and post as reply. |

Re: 2008 Precedent Motor Upgrade Help
i would get a dcx500 alltrax controller first, it will allow 2 times the amps thru it gaining you top end and low end power. upgrade your wires to 2 gauge (simple to do yourself for about 25$) all you need is welding wire off ebay, 5/16 lugs and some silver solder.
if your looking for over 30 get a 8:1 rear end gear set. |

Re: 2008 Precedent Motor Upgrade Help
Only looking for 24-25 MPH, this is a golf course cart only. My serial numbers are PQ so it is a regen 2 PQ, not excel. It has the silver curtis controller though, so I really cannot upgrade to alltrax, would have to go GE, I think, but it sounds complicated. Would just rather upgrade motor at this point and then upgrade controller later if I need more torque. Course is relatively flat.
I went to plum quick web site again, the second motor looks good but their dates only go up to 2001 not 2008. While I think it should work, just not sure, help appreciated. |

We have had great luck with the Admiral motors (link below). Very easy to install in your cart.

Re: 2008 Precedent Motor Upgrade Help
This has been done a long time ago. Please read the thread.
