Re: when is club car ds discontinued?
Designer and Don Saparito shouldn’t be used in the same sentence......hahahaha. I kid. Just razzing the DS boys here.
The chassis and ride is much different to me on the Precedent. People seem to like the DS “solid” feel but that is due to a weight difference and less of the actual sturdiness of the Cart. Throw an extra 200 pounds on a Precedent chassis and you’d get a similar feel. The drive train/controller set up on the DS is a bit more flexible imo for upgrades and mods though which is why I think people who have a mind to mod a cart buy them. That and cost. |

Re: when is club car ds discontinued?
I'm all good on the Electric Precedents until they switched from 4 12V batteries to the 6 8Vs. Mainly because now access to controller/solenoid is a royal pain in the empennage. you have to get under it and work in tight quarters.

Pull the two center batteries out and fold the panel down. Much easier.

Re: when is club car ds discontinued?
They are really common around here- the DS's that is. And I love them. The DS is much more solidly built than the Precedent.
Btw, nickdalzell1, the old ones with three pedals are considered a "Caroche" and from what I've heard, the hydraulic brakes are hard to find parts for. |

Re: when is club car ds discontinued?
Yeah the last three that rolled in the customer had to live without brakes. Mostly using it off road so they didn't care. The main issue was when the gas pedal tends to make all 3 move so you're hitting brakes/parking brake as you accelerate. tried all I could with PB B'laster but no dice.

Re: when is club car ds discontinued?
The ones we get in (they're getting rare, 3 in only 10 years) have the brake system so far gone the cylinder itself is full of water, the lines rusted away completely, and the calipers rusted frozen or missing entirely (bad customer repair for frozen hubs), and even lines cut by customer.
Usually they come in because the 5 solenoid system has one go out and disables the entire car |
