What do you expect to accomplish with this new motor? Seems you got everything you need now.

Everything but a motor haha. Stock one is on its death bed. Something that can keep up with the controller, as well as good performance.

OK then, either of those motors will work fine. Just remember if you get to going to fast in a golf cart you may not be able to find anybody to ride with you.

Actually AMD was very American as they were part of the Kinetek Corporation. Kinetek was acquired by Nidec Motor Corporation in '12 and they are "Japanese" and not Chinese.

Put the FSIP speed motor on your list too. I have this motor in 2 test carts. 1 cart is a Precedent with a XCT300 controller and the other is a Ezgo TXT48 with a XCT400. Both carts have plenty of power and accelerate quickly to 6000 rpms or 27 mph with stock height tires.
