Valid point and if the DCS thing didn't work out, you would have to change the motor and controller anyway. Nothing would be lost by going to 48v first,

I bought everything as a kit and it set me back about $1200, not including 48v worth of batteries and a new charger (another $1000) not sure if your controller is compatible, but Plum Quick can probably rewind your motor for around $300ish. Contact them, I'm about to. Speed is expensive, I love mine, I've had this set-up for about 3 yrs but I want to up my voltage to 72v now. It'll never be enough no matter what route you go, it is for me anyway!

bokeasmowl, are you putting 72v through an E-Z-GO or some other cart? When you do it, post some vids!

I just talked to alltrax tech support and was told that it shouldnt be any problem at all with the right settings in the controller. (waiting on email from alltrax with suggested controller settings and other requirements for these upgrades and use at the moment) gonna see what they send me Thanks for the input so far guys. I have really learned alot from this site. Has anyone ever done this with a DCS and what were their results?

I built a 48volt dcs cart for a handicapped friend of mine because he needed the toggle f/r. He uses it to cruise the neighborhood mostly.. It seems to have great torque and a good 20+mph top speed. stock motor has held up fine so far..

ok guys sorry it took so long but here is the reply from alltrax


Sir,When you upgrade to 48 volts, a new solenoid is needed, the MZJ 200 is a very good solenoid. Also as discussed, the B+ & M- wires (big wires to motor) should be upgraded to 2 gage (or bigger) for heat dissipation and current flow (amperage). Run the controller with turbo off, and plug brake off. In a hunting application it may also be necessary to have full power in reverse (no half speed).

also he doesnt mention anything about the under and overvoltage settings what should those be set to remember im upgrading to 48v i have tried to ask him but he doesnt give a straight reply on this

On 48v the charger needs 36v to turn on so I set the under voltage there. The charger may run the pack up to 63v before shutting off.....I set over voltage I to 60v (that's max, right?).... Hope this helps

[ellcnlael]

i will try those thanks i wasnt sure if they needed to be set to something inparticular for safety or to keep from damaging equipment

[ellcnlael]

alright i got the 48v hooked up 2ga wires installed alltrax programmed speed is still around 20mph but the torque seems a lot better happy so far gonna order the lift and tires next thanks for everyones help

Good work! Keep us in the loop with your progress.

Boke... Are you bringing that cart to the OLC golf car show? I wanna see how a warmed over 36 volt DCS cart will stack up to your 48 volt conversion....
