Where do I start?
Ok, Guys....
 I'm gonna keep it electric. Now where do I start? Should I hunt down a motor first, is there a specific one I should look for? That is a two part question. Do I ebay switches and relays? I wish you Marathon owners would send me so motor compartment pictures. Other then a good diagram, I must say I still feel lost and unsure of where of what to do next. Appericate any help   Thanks |

Re: Where do I start?
Projects are always exciting, but this one is going to cost you more than buying a good used cart that is much newer. I'd think long and strong before you begin this rebuild...
Motor, batteries, controller, F/R = $,$$$.$$ |

Re: Where do I start?
find another cart to gut for the parts, people will give away old 3 wheeler just to see them gone. that's what i'd do, heck somebody gave me one that was a working cart, just needs batts. that's the kinda deal to look for.

Re: Where do I start?
Super response guys, Thanks for the feed back. I have to make a decision. I like this cart so much, though times are tough and dollars are few these days. This cart will have to take a back seat I guess. I'm always open for suggestions.
Thanks again |

Ruredy is spot on though. If your dead set on rebuilding, find a complete 3 wheeler and gut it. Any other direction is way too much $$ for a cart that age... |

Re: Where do I start?
I can attest to the cost. i purchased mine for $500 and have an additional $3500 in it. I figured that even if I still had to replace everything (which I did) I would still come out the same had I purchased a 2003> TXT and added the same accessories- lift/tires and wheels/motor/all electrical/etc. The TXT/PDS cars do have accessories that are much more abundant but if you look hard enough you can come by the Marathon stuff readily. The only thing that I would do over is I would have gone to 48volts for not much more $$.
The knowledge you can gain from a project like yours is invaluable. |
