D&D ES-58 or AMD 7114 Beast

[SEHunter]

To address the thread title, you can not go wrong with either of these motors. Assuming the AMD is the exact equivalent to the old GE D395 beast, i can say I have experienced with both. Ran the D395 for about 6 years and just did the first ride today with the new D&D ES-58. These motors are so similar that I can’t tell much difference. This isn’t a bad thing because the old beast motor was indeed a beast. The ES-58 has plenty enough speed for me. I didn’t clock it but it’s an easy 20mph, maybe a hair more on these 22s. I’ve git my SR-48600 maxed out and when I punched it on an ever so slight incline, my cart did a wheel stand and if it weren’t for the foot platform on the rear flip seat, I swear the cart would have flipped backwards. This motor has all the torque a golf cart could handle, and then some. Speed is good. Very satisfied.

Good to hear you got good results

I assume this one will be a keeper?

I've been able to rest my front tires against a 12" downed tree trunk and the motor pushed me over it without a problem. That's how I knew mine was going to fit my needs.

Yes, this one is a keeper. I'm still curious how the AMD7114 would feel but not curious enough to buy one. I can't imagine a more well rounded motor than the ES-58. My old beast is worn but still good so I'll just box it up and store it in my basement. I really like the construction of the D&D motor. I like the terminals all on one end and it also looks like it's more protected from dust and mud vs the ones with the dust covers that end up falling out.
