Need more speed!!
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to increase the speed on 96 electric Club Car Ds but not sure what are my options. I think I'm only going 10 mph. Below is a list of my carts specs. Motor: GE 36v 3000 RPM Batteries: Brand New Trojan 48v Controller: Curtis 1204-410 36-49v 400A On Board Computer: Lester 21750-01 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

Re: Need more speed!!
The 1995-96 were the first year 48 volt carts. I was really surprised how stinking slow they were
 The cart needs a drive system make over to produce more speed. Start with all the amperage delivery components and end with a higher rpm motor. This poor choice for a speed racer. It can be done but you will have a new everything. |

Re: Need more speed!!
The 97 is almost the same cart. Difference being the throttle input signal type. The 96 should have potentiometer (5k-0) this should be verified at the controller to make sure you are getting the full speed signal and not 5k-1k or such.
The 97 was a multistep potentiometer (a converted Vglide). Open it up and make sure the wiper arm is going all the way to the top lug at full throttle. If yes then the you are probably getting all she has got to give, stock. |
