Re: first club car build
New build eh. Before you worry about seat covers let's get this thing moving.
1) most likely batteries need switched. 2) sure go ahead and replace all cables. 4 ga fits through the obc fine. 2a) get power to the motor and make sure this thing moves. Without doing the above you will have yard art! Not saying don't think ahead about the aesthetics but get it rolling, plus it gives you time to think about how you want it to look. |

Re: first club car build
Get all one color unless you just like the aesthetics. I'd count what's current on their. Look at the diagram the dark lines I believe are what you'll want to be the larger cables

what you guys think about this cable? and yes, not buying any cosmetic stuff until it moves, along with any upgrades other than the cables. I saw the upgrade magnet for the electric motor, but I figure if this 1 is bad I will just upgrade motors. sooner or later I want a jeep body, I have a 4x4 shop which I specialize in jeeps. so gotta have 1 of those. lol |

Re: first club car build
On that ad, there's no mention of strand count. #2 should be up around 600 strands. Even one of the review comments states that the cable is a lot stiffer than expected. Review Scottyb's site for battery cabling descriptions. His are the best.

Re: first club car build
That ad on Amazon does mention strand count. it is 624.
I got the Temco cable in 4 gauge and I love it. Make sure you also get glue lined marine heat shrink. I'm all for patronizing site sponsors and I have, but I really enjoyed putting together my own cables. It is easy and quite inexpensive. |

Re: first club car build
I bought a 35 foot roll of Temco red 2 ga cable. I did make my own (2) lugs with 1/8 hole for the F/R switch and bought 5/16 and 3/8 lugs along with the solider slugs.

Re: first club car build
I'm a small business owner myself, so I def. like to buy from the same.
But like in my jeep biz everyone uses the term "built not bought" . I try to follow that as much as I can for several reasons. you know the vehicle your building better, all the ins an outs so when you have to trouble shoot an issue a lot of times you can figure it out on your own. So with this being my 1st cart build I feel I will learn most of the systems if I do all I can myself. Plus right now I have a lil extra time. I wished I could afford the body I want right now. so I could do a full rebuild of it. Thanx, I like the tip of turning the batteries. I will def use your idea. and I believe you wired the complete cart with 2 ga. do you rem how many of the each size ends you used? |
