Hello All,
I'm new to this and wanting to build something quiet and electric based on a later model Club Car platform, lifted and equipped to take moderate punishment in the South Texas brush. Based on my initial observations on different sites, it looks like the Club Car holds the advantage over the Textron EZ Go in that it has the aluminum frame and better steering qualities but a harsher ride. Is this correct?
I was hoping that you guys could possibly give me some good recommendations on a used cart, lift kit, tires etc.
My nickname is OK (over kill) so don't be afraid to offer outrageous suggestions.
The primary objective for this project is 100% off road sneaking up on hogs and euthanizing them. The hog problem on my place has gone from being a fun opportunity to bag something for the bbq pit to an out of control serious problem. I'm clearing some narrow paths through patches of woods which connect small clearings. I plan to maintain these paths with a box blade for optimal stealth but my Cat powered Cub is about as stealthy as a marching band coming through the woods.
I'm intrigued by the bad boy but prefer to build something myself as 4x4 is not neccessarly required. Basically, I just want to use it, abuse it and not worry about babying it or excessive maintenance.
Oh yah, what are your thoughts on 72 volt?
Thanks
