Custom long travel front end!
2 Attachment(s)
Wanted to post this up. Built a custom long travel kit for my cart. Ended up with 11" of independent travel.
Front ended up 2" wider on each side, 4" total, and have some 2" spacers coming in the mail to match front to rear tire width. Used honda trx400ex shocks from an atv for the suspension. They work, but had to mount them further out to not have too much sag. Ideally, i'd get something a bit stiffer to be able to utilize the full 11" of travel the a-arms can do. Right now its limited by the shocks travel to about 7". |

Re: Custom long travel front end!
Any bump steer? How did you mount the A-arms to the frame and what hubs are you using?

All,
Been a while, forgot to take some more detailed pictures of my build. Rear 4-link is also done. I've beat it to hell on some big bumps to see if i could break something, and its all solid so far. :thumbup: Battery pack build here: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/lithi...-goodness.html So far driven 20miles on a single charge, and pack was still sitting at 3.7v / cell. That was driving on sand and offroad ORV trails in Northern Michigan. Has an Alltrax 500amp xct controller, with a D&D 506.0002 motor. Top speed is 34mph, and its butter smooth. Very little noticeable bump steer, and actual wheel travel is limited by shocks currently. All in about $5k. Cart - paid $2000 (I paid too much..), Custom battery - $1700, Suspension components - $500, Other misc ~$500-700 Sold a few components, ~$400 or so, so in the end lets call it $4500. Im pretty happy with where it sits for that price. No way i was going to find something to fit my electric vehicle needs, this Golf cart is sick. Cant wait to get good use out of it this hunting season. |
