Foggy I am thinking about getting a golf cart for one of our properties where access is a little tricky. May I ask where you got your golf cart? What special modifications are needed etc...?
I bought an EZ Go cart from an ad off CL. Mine is a PDS model built in 2002. I've had it about 5 years or so.....and paid $2000 for it. When I got it I immediately lifted the cart, put on bigger wheels and tires, put in lights, and HD springs in the back, as well as a "flip-flop" rear seat. I can haul four people on mine.
I did nothing to improve the cables or motor or controller. I did put in a chip that can alter from torque mode to speed mode by just a jumper switch. My controller really should be changed as it does get hot with long periods of slow travel.....and will force me to let it cool for a few minutes from time to time. But has never left me stranded.
I got most of the upgrades from "buggies unlimited" and most everything is plug and play. I really should have a better controller and battery cables to eliminate problems (?).
I beeive I have about $3000 total invested in it....plus my labor. It does go thru snow pretty well.....and I think I have driven thru about 4 to 5 inches on level ground.
If I were doing this again......I would look for a Club Car as they have more voltage and are better made carts IMO. Nothing wrong with the one I got.....but I believe the 48 volt system used by CC is better and more powerful.
I think you can add 4WD to them....but that may be beyond my ability or needs......so I never looked into it.
