Stock series motor ?
If I was to upgrade my 36 volt cart to 48 volts, an Alltrax SR 48500 controller, 400/1000 amp solenoid, HD F&R switch and 2 gauge cables, how long will the stock motor last?

Re: Stock series motor ?
From what I was told the 36v series motor loves 48v more because it requires less amperage to operate at 48v. I just did all the upgrading on my 95 medalist and couldn't be happier.

Re: Stock series motor ?
I ran mine on 48 volts set at 500 amps for a while, before I "needed" a faster motor. The only thing you need to worry about is heat. Mine would get borderline, if I pushed it too hard for too long, but as long as I kept an eye on it, no problem. I added an Alltrax ExRay, which has motor and ambient temp, among other things. You can either do that or manually check it with a hand held temp gun or a wet finger (sizzle test).

You have your medalist set up the exact way I want to do mine. Are you running stock rims and tires? I have 22" tires on mine. From what I understand, that makes a big difference from stock tires.

Re: Stock series motor ?
When I first did the install I had the stock ones on it and was getting around 14 mph but it didn't stay that way for long before I threw some 20" tires I had on a gas club car and that went up to 16mph with no real noticeable difference in power.

Re: Stock series motor ?
That's great! Do you do any driving in the dirt and/or up and down hills? My cart will be strictly a hunting cart. Pretty much back and forth to my hunting stands. Most of my driving will be on dirt logging roads, but I do have one pretty big incline on my property. I've included a pic of the hill, just wondering if this is going to be a problem.

Re: Stock series motor ?
I use the wet finger method, the way our Moms tested the iron. If it sizzles, it's time to let it rest. Water boils at 100° C. Class H magnet wire insulation is good up to 180° C, but there's no easy way to check actual windings, and the motor case temp lags behind the interior. So I use 100° C or 212° F to be safe.
