Upgrading to solid state from resistor coils
My first cart. I purchased a 97 CC DS that still has resistor coils. The OBC has been removed and I have a reconditioned Plum Quick motor. The motor says it’s 36V. I have a back seat, 4” lift and 22” tall wheels. Battery pack is 48V, six 8v (five are Trojan one is Autocraft). I mostly drive it around a neighborhood with a few hills that are a challenge but otherwise it does well. At present I can probably get 18-21mph on a flat road.
I’m looking at pulling the coils and vglide to swap in: 1. Controller, 2. upgraded solenoid, 3. new FnR, 4. New “gas” pedal, 5. Lower gauge wires (4 or 2awg?) Not necessarily looking for more speed but I wouldn’t mind, a little more torque to get up the hills would be nice. Mainly looking to get more life out of the charge so I don’t heat things up and waste power on the coils. Need some advice. Can anyone tell me if my motor will be a problem if I convert to solid state? Am I missing any parts for the conversion? Am I on the right track? Can someone share their experience and possibly make/model #s for the parts used if they did the same? |

Re: Upgrading to solid state from resistor coils
You are definitely on the right track. I’m assuming you already know about Scotty at carts unlimited? Definitely the go to place for a conversion kit.
Your resistor cart likely didn’t ever have an OBC, it probably had an Accu power charger. You will love the upgrade though, I would go with the SR48400 or 500 if your cart is lifted. Here’s his website: cartsunlimited.net |
