Thoughts on my Build?

[type911]

Ok, Starting out with a 95 Medelist completely stock. 2.5hp Motor 36V Series Cart

Parts on Hand
300 Amp Alltrax Controller
Jakes Drop Lift
23" tires on 12 inch wheels.

Purchasing from Scotty B when Have some cash.
HD FnR Switch
2 AWG wires all around

I also have a spare 3hp Series Motor from a 2000 TXT
Is it worth installing over the 2.5?

Anyone see any problems? Im worried about the tire size. Be running on rds and dirt roads mostly. Me,The Wife and 2 small children.

Thanks Folks

Hey there buddy!! Welcome to the 95 Medalist club, they are rare creatures with a distinct look - I've got one myself, check out my build in the journal link below.

You will gain about 3MPH and loose about 22% of the stock torque with the 23" tires, while only gaining back about 9% of the torque going from a stock (275A) controller to a 300A controller.

With a 300A controller, there probably won't be all that much difference between the two motors mentioned.

I suspect there might be a 400A or 500A controller, or shorter tires, at sometime in the future.
