More speed
Hey guys. Haven't been on in a while. Bought a 94 club car DS back in the summer and thanks to my buddy fishwishn it has come a long way.
I am really happy with it except I would really like to get a little more Speed out of it without spending too much $. It will Cruise at 13 and creep up to 14 MPH on a full charge. I would be satisfied with 18. Any ideas??ImageUploadedByTapatalk1416804721.493807.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1416804757.373966.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1416804777.740421.jpg |

Re: More speed
How old are the batteries?
What is the voltage? Is the drive system stock? Where are you located? What is the terrain like? |

Re: More speed
Best (and least expensive) way is a motor swap.. There are some good ones out there.. Good helpful dealers on this site as well..

I wouldn't normally reply for someone else, however I know fishnnmore is busy tonight and I know he is anxiously awaiting inputs and ideas so I'll attempt to answer those questions. It's a 36v resister Drive system is stock Located in S/E Texas Terrain is flat - concrete and grass with the occasional curb and ditch Would upgraded battery cables help any? OBTW fishnnmore- I had a blast working on that beast. Thanks for your help on blue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: More speed
Bigger cables alone will not increase the speed. Consider this, If you put a fire hose on the faucet on your house, would you get more water coming out? you will need a bigger controller, larger cables, solenoid, FnR switch, etc, they all work together. No easy or cheap way to get more speed !

Re: More speed
Since it is lifted, it is only a matter of time until one of the 36v components melts. The resistor setups were not meant to and bigger tires and a lift on the cart. That will increase the amperage flow through all of these components. Eventually, something will melt. Is convert to a solid state setup. Check with ScottyB, he has great kits

Re: More speed
Yep. Call scottyb. Leave the stock 36v motor and swap for 48v solid state set up is the way to go but costs a good bit and need new batteries or two more 6v. I think the PQ bandit will work with resistor carts but not sure about lifted. Call them first and see what they say.
