Wow! I didn't expect to see the wires popped out like that!

Re: Go big or go a little?
I understand tuning the 36V motor down and running it on 48V batteries.
Is there a disadvantage to going with the 48V and running it on 48V batteries? more efficient? less? more speed? |

Re: Go big or go a little?
A lot of centrifugal force with a little heat mixed in does some interesting things. The whole motor was more or less a single blob of junk.
I tried to drive the armature out with a sledge hammer to no avail and the took the bolts out of the field shoes and beat on it some more. I managed to separate the end cap from the case by about 1/4" before I gave up. Here is a side view after some TLC with a 8lb sledgehammer and a closer view of the end. FWIW, my calculations indicate there was about 4,000G trying to pull the armature apart when it let go. Had it not been for the excessive heat, it might have stuck together. |

Re: Go big or go a little?
Are there any other motor recommendations besides the FSIP Speed Motor? Or will that be a good replacement from the stock and be a good upgrade?

In other words, it is too soon to ask that question. Run the cart with all the upgrades except the motor to establish a baseline. Once you know how the cart performs at 48V with a stock PDS motor, you can decide if you need/want more torque or more speed of more of both. ---------- Unless you go to a lot taller tires, a 48V battery pack will spin a standard speed 36V sepex motor to the max RPM recommended by most motor manufacturers, so a hi-speed motor may not be a good choice since it will have less torque than a standard speed or hi-torque motor. While running the stock PDS motor on 48V, spend the time exploring what motors are available and what is needed to make the cart perform like you want it to, |
