Re: ultimate tow cart build questions - Yamaha G9
just got new batteries installed. went with the 6-8 volts. man now with the dual speed motor/switch it hauls butt. i would say on torque mode, the mph prob feels about 5mph less. so i dont know how it will tow at the track but will find out in a couple of weeks.
seen today the front lower control arm kingpin hole is wore out. so ill patch/ weld in a piece of steel, drill out, etc. dont really want to spend the money on a new one. i think ill get the jakes econo 4" lift kit next so the fat .. er.. husky.. guys dont make the tires rub (joke). only thing i need to do now with the motor controller is get the computer to talk to the controller. its an Alltrax AXE model, i have the usb/serial adapter they suggested. ill give them a call and get some help with the driver issue. |

Re: ultimate tow cart build questions - Yamaha G9
did that to my worn out Umax/jakes arms. if i recall, 17mm was the right size drill bit to fit the stock bushings.

Re: ultimate tow cart build questions - Yamaha G9
i didnt know there were brass bushing in the lower control arms. so, ordered kingpin kit. installed and all is fine. well,i installed 1.75. in my typical charge forward i screwed up a bushing trying to get the spindle in. ill get upper bushing later down the road and finish it off right. you'd think at my age i would learn patience.
picked up in-expensive voltage gauge for now, just need to hook that up. thinking about a USB charger too. ty dean |

Re: ultimate tow cart build questions - Yamaha G9
please dont run it with no bushing at all, that will just cost you more money down the road.

Re: ultimate tow cart build questions - Yamaha G9
just little update. cart has worked out well. with the two speed motor 48v setup. with just me on speed mode on flat ground i get 20mph. towing with me, a 300lb passenger and towing 1600lb car it will do 10mph in torque mode.
i cant get into the controller, ive tried few different computers, half dozen usb/serial connectors and no luck. ill get a new better controller next year. so its a guess what the power settings are in the controller if that makes a difference. anyways, im happy with it. would be cool to have lots of speed but ill leave that for the drag cars lol. |
