should i change motors emp to raptor
Ok i have a txt on 48v with 2 gauge cables and a alltrax 4855 my motor is a emp M13-0659 i dont know any details as far as rpm hp ect ?????? Hell i dont think emp even knows after talking to them?
Anyhow my cart is a four seater and runs really well mid 20s pretty easy maby 28 mph max i dont do any trail riding but their is some steep long hills at my camp and the cart does very well. I have a option of buying a 2 week old raptor motor for cheap. Would it be worth the money Would i see a loss down low on power? |

Re: should i change motors emp to raptor
not sure what you call cheap.....but the Raptor is more about speed. Its the motor I have. as you can see in my sig, I am only at 36v, am running the Alltrax SPM 48500, SD Solenoid, HD F/R, 2 ga cables and Interstate U2200 batteries, 6" lift and 23" tires. NOW, where I am at its FLAT no hills at all......and my cart will run 27 MPH with no problem. IF I were to up the voltage to 48, scotty tells me to expect a jump of about 33% in torque and speed.....that's close to 35 mph.
yurtle is bound to chime in too, as he has the Raptor in his cart too. It really boils down to where you need that extra speed at the cost of your torque. |

I don't really have anything else to offer, as I don't know what his current motor is. If it's used a lot in campgrounds, I'd think you'd want torque over speed, but it's hard to pass up a good deal.

Thats what I was thinking, 'cause you never know when you will need or want it, even if for a future project/build. I'm a pack rat like that! lol

Re: should i change motors emp to raptor
I had a EMP 2 spd motor before I got my D&D motor. I think all of the EMP motors are just a rebuild of the stock 2.5 hp motor. I am much more satisfied with my D&D.
