Speed this thing up!!!!!!!!!!!

[tlfinn]

Hey fellas, so I have a 2001 EZGO TXT 36V with a heavy duty solenoid and Alltrax SR 48400 controller....it has the lift kit with heavier tires and wheels and I need it to go FASTER...What do you recommend (other than getting a gas one :P ) to do to upgrade the speed??

Go 48 volt.

Yep- 48 volts! If you going to get a charger & new batteries, look at lithium. The drop ins come with charger and BMS (or make your own). It drops weight of cart by alot!

going to 48v's will get you a bump in both speed and torque of 30%.....and if that's not enough speed, get a high speed motor as well.

I just asked this same question in a new post. Can I just add another battery and maybe the solenoid?

I have lithium in my Harley, great battery but for a Golf cart thats a very expensive option.

if you are upping the voltage....it will require a new controller as well.

To go up in V you will need a controller, charger and solenoid that will handle the new V. Your controller and/or solenoid may be able to handle the higher V, depends on the model. I thought the SR48400 was compatible with 36, 42, 48v. I also thought that most HD solenoids were multi-volt compatible but I'm not positive.

You will also need some new cables to connect the new battery with. They need to be the same thickness as the existing cables and a minimum of 4 GA.

---- edit ----
According to the Alltrax website your controller is compatible.

So going to 42V or 48V will require the charger and cables and possibly the solenoid.

No - read his first post! He has SR48400 Alltrax control.
All Alltrax controls are 36/48v minimum. Looks like he needs
a 48v solenoid or a little creative activation circuit wiring - If you are a constant contributor here you should know how to explain how this is done.

scotty, i think that bronson, and myself were ansering slickmans post, just a few posts above (5 and 6) not the op's
