OK I am now the owner of a 2008 bad boy buggy (EZGO)
The front drive axle might be messed up. ( CV joint or differential)
My neighbor asked, "why dont you put a normal front end on it and with one motor, You should be able to hit all of you property and with 48 volts and one motor, I should get a good long run time" I just didn't know the answer Are there any opinions on this thought? We have 43 acres 1/3 cleared and lake 2/3 wooded. thank You and Merry Christmas in advance |

Re: OK I am now the owner of a 2008 bad boy buggy (EZGO)
I purchased a basket case bad boy 4 seater a while back. I finally started putting it together. Right now I only have the rear motor running. For most of what I will use it for rear drive only would be just fine.
If my front axle breaks beyond repair I would be fine putting in a regular axle. I will pick up a regular front axle when I find one cheep since the bad boy front axle is problematic, just to keep the down time to a minimum. |

Oh yeah, don't forget new wheels for the front. You most likely have 5 lug front wheels like mine, not the regular 4 lug.

Re: OK I am now the owner of a 2008 bad boy buggy (EZGO)
have either of y'all done the 2wd conversion yet? I also just acquired a 2008 BBB classic. with 2 controllers and needs some front end work. so debating the same thing. don't need the 4wd but the deal on this Buggy was to good to not buy it.

Neither of these two gentlemen have posted on the forum in over a year and csport posted then he was getting rid of his BBB. They may not be listening any more.

well that is a bummer as I am new to this whole thing and the bad boy cost me $300 and came with a new set of batteries. so I am trying to revive this thing and get it running right. after I replaced the hub it now seems the CV axle is bad and Just don't know if I can convert it to 2wd by swapping the front end out and just running it off the one controller since this model has a controller for the front and one for the back axle. my thoughts on this would be it will eliminate any future 4wd issues. |
