Re: EZ-GO TXT Motor removal question

Did you swap your motor? If so, what was your technique? I like Gornoman's method. However... I'm looking at the time and labor to remove my rear seat and it may be less of a pain to go from below. I'm going to look at the under-seat storage panel again before turning a wrench. Maybe I'l get lucky. However, this cart has been resistant to change and making me earn my fun. It s so much easier to work on Vettes than a cart in my opinion. Another story for another day. Thanks!! Steve |

Re: EZ-GO TXT Motor removal question
I have a stock 36v series motor. It will take the increase to 48v and give about a 25% increase in speed. I also have a 480 amp controller for a large increase in torque.
As Scotty said earlier, voltage=speed, amps=torque. |

Re: EZ-GO TXT Motor removal question
All I removed on my motor swap was the rear seat platform. All the heavy steel structure remained on the cart. The platform is held on by 4 nuts, which I replaced with SS wingnuts and lock washers. This makes servicing the bagwell battery MUCH easier.

Re: EZ-GO TXT Motor removal question
To do a motor swap I used two ratchet straps around the motor and the frame on the cart. This left my hands free to loosen bolts. Once all the bolts were free I jiggled/coaxed the motor sideways and it remained suspended by the straps. I hope this description is good enough to create a visual.

Re: EZ-GO TXT Motor removal question
Quick update:
Hi All, Thanks for the advise. I completed the motor, controller, and HD FR switch this weekend. Here is how I removed the motor: - Upbolted the attaching bolts - Places a 2x4 (front to rear) on top of the axle with approx 3" hanging over the front of the axle - Placed a jack stand under the front part of the 2x4, to keep it from acting as a catapult if the motor shifted forward - Places a floor jack under the rear end of the 2x4 - jacked up the 2x4 to make it level on the axle - removed the motor form the spline (motor rested perfectly on the 2x4 - SLOWLY lowered the floor jack allowing the motor to slide out the rear underside of the cart To install I reversed the process. It went very smooth and quick. My new motor is 2+" longer than the original so I had to unbolt the driver's side rear shock to install the motor on the splines. Once on the splines, there was approx 1/4" - 1/2" of space between the motor and shock. The motor/controller install ent very well and the motor has a ton of torque. It pulled the front wheels of the ground when I gave it a little blip form a dead stop. Next step is I need to check my battery pack. I don't believe the are up to the challenge of the added HP and Amp requirements... I need to do a bunch of research here for the best next steps. Prior to the install I ran 17 mph with a people load of 525. After 16... I have additional stats too if interested. again thanks!! Steve P.S. I have a brand new Jake's Spindle lift and a bunch of other goodies I'd like to sell. How long do I need to wait before I can list items in the "for sale" section? |
