Re: Starting Advice
Texasdave,
I'm doing almost the same project, takeing a 94 Medilist and a 95 TXT to try to build one good cart. (see Project Cart). I am trying to decide on same issues on upgrades, mainly the mechanical HD F/R switch as opposed to the reversing contactor. Luckly the 94 cart had a 6.1 hp motor and Alltrax 400 amp controller. I've bought all new wires, bearings, shocks, etc. Anyway maybe we can help each other as we go. Good luck! |

Re: Starting Advice
Thanks for all the advice in this thread. I will use it as a guide as soon as I find the problem in the rear axle. One of the outer wheel bearings was out when I got the cart. I replaced bearings and seals and cleaned the brakes but still have a loud whine in rear end. Also cleaned an put new oil in rear axle. Wish I had put some STP or some of the other additives mentioned.
I think I will add Scotty B,s disk brakes when I rebuild rear axle. Just trying to find the time. http://www.cartsunlimited.net/Hi_Per...ce_Brakes.html |

before I reinstall are there any components I should check/replace since I have them off? And what rivets for the floor pans? |

Re: Starting Advice
Dave, are you buy chance taking the entire body off? if so, you can get a complete body Rivet set from ez-go or some of the vendors here, its only about $11 t0 $12.....and if nothing else, and you don't need ALL of them, get one and you will have a few for the future that you wouldn't need to buy if you ever needed them.

Re: Starting Advice
I bought that rivet kit from my dealer, Nuke and its crazy! Some black some not, some large some small. Could not make heads or tails of it. So i used a 3/16 drill bit on every hole and the same size rivets all the way around. Easy greasy!
Glad you decided to keep the Medalist. Wife and I love ours. Send some pictures!!! |

Re: Starting Advice
I bought my body from Mikes Motor Toys and he gave me a pack of rivets with the body. I assume that this one is for the body only, not the floor pans?? That is about as far as I have gotten on the build, there could be more that I don't know about.

Re: Starting Advice
Late checking in on this thread but you got a great deal. Ours ran when when we bought it, but the batteries were junk, the wires were bad, and after I got into it, discovered it had been dunked in a lake!! Although it ran, I have ended up replacing everything except the motor. Oh, and we started at $2k. I'm on the 2nd set of batteries - don't skimp there, get the Trojans or similar. I've gone to 42V with the controller package from Scotty, as suggested above. Very happy. I'll go with a torquey-er motor and possibly lift kit when/if the stock motor burns out.
