2006 36V TXT PDS magnet upgrade
Since I have now gotten one of the fastest (34mph top speed) carts in the neighborhood/golf course thanks to PQ Bandit motor, all my friends are looking to get a little more out of their carts.
My neighbor has a 2006 EZGO and after doing some research for him he settled on the magnet upgrade. Pretty straight forward install and it got him the results he wanted. Before: 12mph on a slight incline After: 18mph Before: 12/13mpf on the decline After: 21/22mph We have a 1/2 mile stretch of road leading to the club house that is a 25mph zone but everybody likes doing 35 or 40mph and all he wanted was to be able to not impede traffic or get ran over and he is now getting 25mph since there is a slightly steeper decline leading to the club house. We are now going to monitor the heat to see if there is any noticeable change and upgrade the battery cables to help maintain the extra voltage demand. Just thought I'd post the results incase anyone else was thinking of doing the magnet upgrade. |

Re: 2006 36V TXT PDS magnet upgrade
Sounds like your neighbor has a 2006 PDS.
Upgrading all ten of the high current cables to 4Ga or thicker will probably help his cart a bit going uphill and might help a little on level ground. (Depends of how small the existing cables are and how bad of condition they are in.) Motor heat ought to stay about the same since he's not tapping into the full performance potential of a stock PDS motor. What size tires is he running (stock height is 18") and what chip does he have installed? |

Re: 2006 36V TXT PDS magnet upgrade
Thank for the reply.
Yes its a PDS cart. I have talked to him about upgrading his cables and that might be the next step if he wants anymore speed but he's pretty happy with it now. I didn't think the heat would be an issue but that was one thing I heard might be any issue. He is running stock tires and has no plans to change that and has no chip that I know of, just the magnet. |

However, a stock PDS motor maxes out at about 5600 RPM with a 36V battery pack, which is about 24MPH on 18" tires. Sounds like he is hitting the RPM limiter going downhill, but has some room for improvement on level ground and maybe a bit going uphill. --------- Do you have a part# and source for the magnet disk? (I don't have a part number or source and the magnet trick comes up here occasionally, so I would like to be able to pass that info on.) PM me with it if it isn't a site sponsor. |
