Best model year club car precedent to buy?
I am looking at buying a club car precedent. What changes have been made through the years that I should be aware of? It will be for use in a golf course community if this matters.

Re: Best model year club car precedent to buy?
Anything after 2008.5. You can run Six 8 volt batteries in the as opposed to four 12 volt batteries. It's a much better system. You'll have two drive systems to choose from. IQ and Excel. For a golfer, there's not a whole lot of difference between the two. The Excel will give you more motor braking down hills that the IQ will. Otherwise they're about the same.

Re: Best model year club car precedent to buy?
Dave you mentioned excel system gives more down hill braking. How can I eliminate the down hill braking?

I don't believe you can completely eliminate it with either the IQ or Excel systems, but you can suppress it with a Curtis programmer.

You can not completely eliminate it with the Excel system unless you install a Plum Quick Bandit motor. The IQ system is a little more simple. A high speed magnet underneath the speed sensor on the motor will eliminate the regen braking on the IQ.

Jake you mentioned Curtis programmer. How can I acquire? Or is this unit expressly issued to only cc dealers?

They can be aquired new from Club Car and their dealers, but it's not really cost effective for a single cart owner, and as Jake said, they cost a pretty penny
