Default Club Car - Series

Hi folks.

I have a refurbished Club Car. I can’t find serial number but it is running 6 x 8 volt deep cycle batteries. Stock controller and stock motor. The selector switch is the big F-N-R with no toe switch. Batteries are new and in good condition.

The cart runs great but is slow. We need to increase the speed of it. What do I need to do to get this guy moving ? Use it as a people hauler. See pics.

I don’t want to go crazy - just some more speed.

its a 48 volt series cart , 13 mph is top stock speed . The cheapest way to gain speed would be to find a 36 volt series motor or send yours over to plum quick for a bandit upgrade and either one of them would keep you under $300. If you got more to spend then we can move onto new motors and controllers.

Look behind the center dash , there should be a sticker on the right hand side of the framing .

Here is a high speed motor you can run https://www.revolutiongolfcars.com/p...ries-48v-22mph. You can also go with the next size up, but you would need to upgrade your controller, cables and solenoid.

You can run it with the stock set up and get 20mph with a strong pack. No torque though...

No, no torque increase. It is not a torque motor. Designed for speed only. If you want more torque, you will need amperage, as in a controller (and then a higher torque motor.)

Yup. I have ran that very same motor and his bigger brother. You do not want a a lot steep hills, but it will do fine on small ones.
