What way to go?
I bought a CC PH1048 and it has a bad speed controller, motor and possibly the OBC. I have good batteries so I’m trying to way my options. The cart is in great shape other wise. New upgraded motor and controller or Have my motor rebuilt and I have already located a stock controller that already has the speed code changed. Any thoughts?

Re: What way to go?
All depends on your goals and budget. If you have the budget, an aftermarket controller and motor will give you more torque and speed. If you don't really need much of either, a stock rebuild with speed code 4 may make you happy.

Re: What way to go?
How exactly did you come to the conclusion that all of that, the controller, the obc, and the motor are all bad??? Seems really far fetched unless it’s a flood cart...
A simple bad connection in the wire harness, bad microswitch, or even a bad key switch can cause nothing at all to work. If someone you bought the cart from said that they’re all bad, then I’d not listen to a word. Generally people don’t have any clue what they’re doing. I’d be downloading the wiring diagrams and Curtis manual from Curtis website, grabbing my meter and diagnosing from scratch. It may not be as bad as you think. |

Re: What way to go?
That’ll do it
Then I guess it would come down to cost and your expectations. If a stock cart will do what you want, it would be a lot cheaper. But in the long run if you plan on upgrading motor, controller, etc. then now is the time to do it. Make sure to check the harness carefully. Most times, especially if it was salt water, you’ll find yourself fighting intermittent issues due to the corrosion that creeps up the wires themselves. |

Not sure if this is compatible but would be a great deal if you can make it work

Yes saw that and asked about it. Haven’t heard back from him yet.
