what to expect offroad?

WeagleEagle · 03-10-2010, 06:08 PM

What can I expect out of a 36V cart offroad in the mud if I have no lift and some knobbys on the back in stock size? With a lift? I'm not planning on going through deep mud with it. I just want to be able to go down a slick road. I figure a golf cart with some decent knobby tires and a lift should be almost as good as a "bad boy" in 2wd. Is this true or can I just expect not to make it to the back 40 when it rains a little? I would like a quiet hunting cart without spending $8000. Thanks for any comments.

when i got my cart a while back it had the stock suspension in
the front with 18'' x8x8golf tires in and 22 x 11 x8 sahara kings in the back (aka: knobby)with a 2'' block lift the guy had put on it worked surprisingly good in the wet stuff.

now it has 8'' lift with 22x11x10dirt devils all the way round and really gets me through some stuff

I guess the only thing that concerns me is that our soil contains alot of clay and gets extremely slick. I wonder if I could weld the rear diff together and make it a positive traction rear end?

I had a little Melex cart (Ezgo copy) which could really get around in the mud dispite its being old and heavy. I had put some stock size tractor lugs on it and 2 extra batteries for 48v. It was enough to get in and out of more places than I was ready to go and we have clay too .......36v? That will be the limiting factor

sweet. I think I may just go for it. I sounds like the conversion isn't all that hard.

WeagleEagle · 03-11-2010, 08:10 AM

48V i mean

yeah according to one guy the bump from 36v-48v to run your 36v motor is supposed to be the bomb! that is what i am wanting to find out so if you do it keep us posted.
