HD Newbie...Need Motor replacement info
Good day, I got a 1975, 4 wheel electric DE-4 car that will be getting a semi-custom makeover, she works & runs. Course its a little slow up the hills right now.
New batteries are in order as two of them are cracked at the terminal and im sure they have been frozen a couple times. Also plan on replacing all wiring to new, and most likely solenoids as well. Question(s) is, what is the largest HP motor I can put on this cart, i have seen from 2hp to 8hp, and should I keep the old system (controller, solenoids, resistors) or upgrade to newer technology and the ease of such a conversion? Im thinking these upgrades will help my over all speed and pull up hills which is important seeing as I live in Alaska and our courses are pretty hilly to say the least. So if anyone has a list or some info on the different replacement motors I can use (plug and play or very little modification) Again, I am a total newbie to this and would appreciate any and all feedback on my thoughts on this car. Tkxz, T |

Re: HD Newbie...Need Motor replacement info
Well I'm new to carts also so I cant answer your question about upgrading your motor, but I would plan on new brushes and a good cleaning for my motor before I decide it too small.
Just an idea. |
