Bought the wife a 36 volt 1997 Club Car DS. She wanted something to drive around Disney's Fort Wilderness when she visits , and to use at Jeep events when she can.
Previous owner didn't use it much and let it sit too long.
I drove it around the yard and it feels like the motor is stuttering after pushing the pedal passed a certain point , so I'm not sure if its a stator issue or a battery causing what I'm feeling or a problem with the controller. Either way , she wouldn't be happy with it so I started searching upgrade options.
It currently has a set of Trojan t-105's ( Apr - 2018 dates ) and a charger that will trip after a few minutes of charging.
The motor is questionable, as are a few of the batteries at this point, and the turn signals don't operate. .
After reading through the threads and seeing what others have done, I figured I would just go with all new and upgrade it to 48 volts all at once, so I ordered a 48 volt motor from D&D, a 400 amp solenoid and a 500 amp controller.
I am waiting on some battery cable to start the electrical rebuild, and I need to find a built in charger to swap over to for the new setup.
Once everything is installed, I'll pick up some new batteries and test it all out. Hopefully I didn't miss anything.
I showed the wife some pictures of other carts on here which led to a 6" lift and some 23's showing up that I knew nothing about..
Not to mention some various usb chargers and lights and such.
She wants a back seat added and really wants to swap the front clip for a Jeep front end.
