Re: EZGO PCX-956 limo rebuild, need any info available
Oh, from what I have seen the brakes and the suspensions on these carts are unique to them and not very similar to golf carts. Again, these shuttles are heavy duty. I doubt you'll find a lift kit but, admittedly, I didn't look as I prefer the low look.
The wheels themselves came with either 4 lug or 5 lug configurations. If you have 4 lug pretty much any fancy golf cart wheel will work (non-lifted, standard size of course). If you have the 5 lug you may have to stick with hub caps unless you can find adapters somewhere. |

Requirements for a 48v upgrade would be very different for these 2 drive systems. Can you post pics of the drive components? |

Re: EZGO PCX-956 limo rebuild, need any info available
Lochlin, Hi were you able to keep your existing motor for the 48 volt upgrade? I just got a 98 PCX-954 aka the Struggle Bus and I was debating a 48v upgrade. Thank you

Re: EZGO PCX-956 limo rebuild, need any info available
Awesome. Thanks. That's good news. Now I guess my biggest decision is keep my six one year old 6V Trojans and try to add two more or get 6 new 8V to put in their place. Of course the new controller, solonoid and cables as well. Read mixed opinions on changing out the forward reverse switch.

2 things bug me about the F&R. 1st is the 10 ft of cable from the motor to the direction switch. 2nd is the stock F&R on a cart that obviously has a bigger load than normal. If I was building mine up a SW202 reversing contactor kit would be on my list. Mount the contactor near the motor and controller and run just the switch wires up front. |

Re: EZGO PCX-956 limo rebuild, need any info available
Is there a voltage drop of some sort due to the long run of cable from the FR switch back to the motor? Also if you don't mind me asking should I be looking to add a 500A controller? I am not sure what the stock controller rating is I am just assuming that I will need to upgrade it. Thanks for your help. I will be starting this project after the campground closes so I am trying to get my research in now.
