first cart runs

bigdawd · 06-29-2009, 08:10 PM

got my first cart for 230.00 cc and it runs after 638.00 on batterys now what motor for a fat man with big hills in mind

Exactly what cart do you have?

bigdawd · 06-29-2009, 08:35 PM

1996 cc

Need a little more info. Like what voltage, what type of electronics (speed controller, 5 bank solenoid, or resistor coil).

Then we can suggest some upgrades.

36v or 48v? It should be a controller cart.

bigdawd · 06-30-2009, 05:00 PM

sorry new at this it a 48volt power drive system as far as your other questions i still need to figure out the other things i do now it is a serial wound motor

I would say that the first thing would be to upgrade the speed controller and all cables to 4 ga. The higher amperage speed controller will give more torque and maybe another couple mph's, but it will definitely increase the torque to help on hills.

I would recommend a 400 amp (or more if you like) controller, 4 ga wires, and a solenoid to match the amperage of the controller.

If you can get a picture of your motor of some more information from it that will help to make sure you are going in the right direction.

okay i put 4ga cables on when put batterys in as far as motor numbers are 50c59j85619413 101785701 oln n 3.10 special 62125563 59885919

4 gauge cables on the batteries alone is not enough. You really want to do all the large cables in the whole cart. Running 4 ga. on batteries and leaving 6 ga. on controller and motor just causes a bottleneck at the smaller gauge cables.

If it is a controller type cart...the larger controller suggested earlier allows more amps to be delivered to the motor--equalling more torque/power, not necessarily more speed. I think that is what you want right, more power not more speed.

THANKS !!!!! for the info i dont know much about the elec carts yet but learning going to lake cumberland this weekend so i will find out more about my cart im happy so far just more power its stock i way 350+ and have steep hill to climb am going to look in to the controller thanks again roger
