Upgraded Controllers in 2 carts
Just wanting some feedback:
2001 Series, 48V good batteries, SPM500 Controller and 4ga cables. Up to 18mph from 13mph stock. Stock tires as well. Sound about correct? Wanting 25mph. So with 22 inch tires should see low 20's. Next step a PQ Bandit?? Next item. Installed a DCX400PDS on 2006 PDS. Brand new Crown 36V. Went from 18 mph old batteries to about 21 new batteries and controller. Notable torque enhancement but underwhelming speed increases. Any suggestions? Kept 6ga cables. Would 4ga make a big difference? or once the batteries are broken in? All upgrades thru Scottyb. Thanks for any advice or comments. Just want solid neighborhood speeds. |

Re: Upgraded Controllers in 2 carts
The PDS is under performing. Should reach 24 on the flats. Perhaps new batteries and 6g cables holding her back.
The series cart is doing well. 25mph will require a custom motor. The Bandit will give you 2-3 mph according to their website. Both carts will respond well to more voltage. 42v for the PDS by adding a 6v under the driver's seat. and 48v for the series cart. |

With those speeds. Definitely disc brakes. Heavier duty hubs. Any other recommendations for shoring up the cart in terms of safety and stability? The cool thing is I could save some custom curves for kid and wife use. But the pq would be a lot more economical at half the price. Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Re: Upgraded Controllers in 2 carts
the guys here know there stuff and the site sponsors are a great resource too. i have a 36v 99 series txt with bandit motor, stock controller, stock wires (6gauge), stock FNR switch, 22' tires on 12' wheels and get 18mph. as advertised the bandit did improve my speed by a couple mphs and cart feels a lot stronger. i still have to upgrade to 48v and should reach my desired to speed of low 20s. since you're already running 48v i'd take the guidance from the last few posts and you'll get to where you want to be and then some in no time

Re: Upgraded Controllers in 2 carts
It can if the components in the cart are rated for teh additional voltage. The 7th 6v battery will amount to a 17% increave in operating voltage. This will make the motor turn 17% faster and produce 17% more torque. I'm expecting 7/6v to arrive this afternoon for my 05 Ezgo PDS cart. I will use the 42v DPI Accusense charger we sell on the cartsunlimited.net web site for $285
