Stretched PDS to 48V

[PBB]

I'm gettting ready to tackle stretching a PDS into a limo and will also convert it over to 48V. I'm building this for use at the campground next srping. I already have a loaded 48V hunting cart, so i need to watch my budget on this one to stay in the good graces with the wife. Here's my plan-

400 AMP Alltrax
Motor (would like to retain the factory motor if it will handle it)
HD solenoid, resistor & upgraded wires
48V SOC meter
48V charger
(6) 8 volts
6" lift
22x11x10 A/T tires

I am planning to build this for a campground cruiser. I dont have plans for hill climbing or speed, just want to stretch it and make it 48V. What do you guys think about keeping the factory motor? Do you think it will handle it?

I upgraded my ezgo limo the same except I did motor too and went with 8 6v batteries. I was told the motor would be fine but I live in an area with lots of hills and it burned up in about 4 months. If you are running on flat ground at a campground it should be fine. Just remember golf carts especially stock equipment was meant for 2 people and clubs for 18 holes with minimal hills. You will put some strain on it if you put 6 people in your cart.

Thanks for the firsthand experience. You got any pics? how much did you add to your frame?

I bought my golf cart used and it was already stretched but everything else was stock on it.
