the parts needed for my upgrade is a new 500 amp controller, HD F&R switch, SuperDuty Solenoid and complete 2 ga. cable set. I also added a digital voltage gauge for the dash, and a 30 amp DC to DC converter (36v-48v to 12v) to run the lights, horn, and radio insted of tapping into and scavging off of the battery pack. |

Re: What EZGO to start with?
I have never had a 36volt cart but if you are talking $1200 dollars minus cart itself, batteries and a charger why would you buy a 36 volt system if you know you want 48 volts. I spent just under $2000 for my stock RXV which was already 48 volts so all I did was bought new batteries and I am cruising at 28 mph with 23" tires. With a 6" lift and 23" tires 28mph seems borderline scary at times. These lifted carts do not need to go faster. Basically I am just saying I spent on my stock cart $2800 dollars and got 48 volts. Can you buy a 36 volt cart do upgrades to 48 volts including new batteries and charger for less than $2800 and have a brand new looking cart?

Re: What EZGO to start with?
Jerj7907, To answer your question about can you essentially build one for that .. the answer is maybe.. Depends on the price of the original cart.
As for why do a txt when the RXV is already there I would think that is just a choice. As you know the RXVs have only been out since like 08 and the jury is still out as to how the controller will hold up to the abuse of larger tires/wheels. Not saying it won't but not a lot of data out yet. Yours looks sharp by the way |

Re: What EZGO to start with?
That is why I openly said what I paid for my RXV now with all the upgrades I have done I have a lot more invested in it. I was really just wondering for myself what way to go as far as money. I was shopping for a lifted golf cart never bought one before and my local dealer asked me to come back the following day and drive his personal cart. Needless to say it was an RXV and I ordered mine and customized it. I talked with him, LCS, Saturday as in 3 days ago and he still says out of all the models and brands he prefers RXV. My front tires are showing about 50% tread and still no problems with my cart as far as reliability. I am 100% biased towards the RXV and I know people have their own opinions, just live Ford vs. Chevrolet! Chevrolet by the way.

Re: What EZGO to start with?
All very good info, I will look for a clean series TXT cart to start with. I did the same with my Club Car, sounds like EZGO is all pretty much the same. Just wasn`t sure of the EZGO models and what they actually had. Funny, I was so stuck on Club Car when I had it, but know don`t like the looks of them at all anymore...Thanks again all! Hopefully will be getting something going soon.

Re: What EZGO to start with?
I have about $2500 or a bit more in mine, including the paint. The initial investment was $300 for the cart body on a serviceable frame with a serviceable motor. As you can see in my sig line, it has everything we are telling you about. It isn't super fast as a stock TXT will only do 12/13 mph. But it has great torque and is very reliable.
Look for a TXT with useless batteries or brand new batteries. Nothing in between. Depending on the age and condition of the cart you should be looking at around $300 for no batteries to $1500 running with brand new batteries. The numbers will vary by region, but they should be close. Don't forget the charger must be included. |
