Picking up a stock 2014 Precedent. What to upgrade first?
Picking a pretty mint condition 2014 Precedent this Friday. It already has headlight, tail lights and rear fold down seat. I'll be using it for minor off-road on my 3gun comps getting from stage to stage and RV campground use. Not to mention cruising the neighborhood.
FYI: I'm extremely DIY so don't sugar coat anything. If I don't understand I'll google it. I've already done a little research and will have no problems completely taking the whole thing apart and reassembling. I have a full tool assortment from modding a mustang in my driveway and remodeling and tons of other hobbies I've done. The 3gun comps have gravel/dirt roads with some hills in between stages carrying around 100lbs worth of firearms and ammo. Sometimes a buddy will go with me so there will be another passenger. The terrain is nothing crazy. What should I upgrade first? Which amp controller? 500-750? I don't need the best and I don't want the cheapest. Do I need anything besides the controller and upgraded wiring? If so please link to what accessories to go with the controller. Gonna upgrade all wiring to either 4 gauge or 2 gauge. Looking at a lift/wheel combo with A/T tires. I want to get speeds to mid 20s with torque to get me around my 3 gun comps carrying my gear. I know a motor is going to be needed but I'm sure with just wiring, controller and accessories needed for the controller will be enough till I can drop $700+ on a new motor. I want the lift/wheels and minor speed/torque improvements with controller. Thanks for any help. |

Re: Picking up a stock 2014 Precedent. What to upgrade first?
You pretty much answered your own question(s) already. So lets recap:
1- 4" or 6" A-arm Lift Kit (not a spindle) 2- 10x22 or 11x23 tires and appropriate sized wheels 3- 2awg cables 4- XCT 300 (stock compatible but way more more advantages and tweaks) or XCT 400 or 500 controller (more amp capability with torque) 5- 200 amp solenoid for XCT 300 or 400 amp solenoid for XCT 400 & 500 6- High speed motor which are ~$420 or so from our site sponsors. Then there are all kinds of aftermarket accessories you can add to your list. Just click on our site sponsors and look around. I know Revolution Golf Cars and Carts Unlimited both have all this and the technical assistance/support you want. They also do package deals. |

Re: Picking up a stock 2014 Precedent. What to upgrade first?
Thanks for tips earlier.
I have the XCT 500amp, 400a solenoid, and 2gauge wire combo in my cart. Skipping on the FNKS for now. I'll get that when I do the motor upgrade. Gonna get a 4" Jake lift with probably a 22/23" wheel/tire set next. Then the motor. Gonna try for a DIY paint job too. I've got some contractors in my family and have access to a good paint sprayer. Might make a build thread. |

Re: Picking up a stock 2014 Precedent. What to upgrade first?
I don't know if you mean the controller etc is already in your Club Car or whether you mean it is in an online shopping cart. If it is the latter, I hope your cart is with Revolution Golf Cars or Carts Unlimited. Both Dave and Scotty are forum sponsors and give up a lot of time giving expert advice on the forum to guys just like you. It is good to support them (their prices are very good also).

Re: Picking up a stock 2014 Precedent. What to upgrade first?
Gonna wait till I officially pick it up. Actually found another cart. It's a 2014 PE1449 serial. Same price minus the back seat and headlight tail lights but it already has the Level 4 speed code. Just add a back seat, voltage reducer and a full street light kit. 19mph can get me by for now. They want $3200 for it. Late build 2014 with the ERIC charging system and no OBC if I've done my research right.
