Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
I said it before and I'll say it thousands more, Chuck is a motor genius. I have worked with some of his motors myself as well as working with control systems for folks who ordered his motors. His work is top notch and usually exceeds expectation.

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
I think you might be over thinking this. But I see what you are getting at. Option 3 is the best bet for the money.
But I have a question for you? How do you stop this thing of yours? The speed you are at is very fast for stock brakes on any cart. I have a Club Car with a PlumQuick Bandit that does roughly 18mph with stock brakes... I have to drive the thing like it has no brakes because I know I can't stop quick if I wanted too. Enjoy the new motor. :-) |

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
IMO anything over 25MPH is too fast for a cart with only rear brakes. You won't stop very quickly if you have to.

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
TO be honest I think I am going to go with option 2, from the performance stats I don't see any real advantage to going with option 3 except (durability) I would really rather not deal with that large of a motor size wise

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
Changing the rear drum brakes to disc brakes is a natural and easy way to stop these 1400lb carts...fortunately for me my California Roadster comes with factory front disc brakes and they really work!

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
I disagree. Rear disk brakes are only slightly better then rear drums that are properly adjusted and in good condition. You will start sliding the rear tires in any kind of panic stop. Front brakes do most of the work in any car.

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
Part of that has to do with tire size...most will tell you they can stop faster with disc brakes and worry less about internal adjustments and accumulated brake dust. See customers responses with regardes to disc brakes just posed on this forum.

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
I agree that disk brakes have advantages but properly adjusted drum brakes will lock up the rear wheels on any cart I have ever seen. Try a panic stop sometime and you will see that rear wheel only brakes won't stop you very fast.

Re: Electrical Motor Products, Inc- Custom Motors
Ok so I just placed my order today. I decided to go with choice #2 the
- EX1-4005-LR*z2 I can't wait to get it in and I am having Chuck make 3 different Maps for me so I can kind of plug and play. I will let everyone know how I works out |
