Motor suggestions
Been going through troubleshooting on another thread and motor seemed to checkout okay regard continuity testing...
However, if I wanted to replace the motor since I am working on the cart anyway... Can I get suggestions on what I should look for? My cart currently is: 36 Volt EZGO DCS Stock motor Stock Tires No lift DCX 400 with 2 gauge cables and upgraded selinoid. Flip rear seat Have new set of batteries Cart is a neighborhood cart driven almost always on level concrete streets No real interest in lifting the cart Maybe would like to put low profile tires/wheels with Max size without lifting it. Currently getting 20-23 mph and would like that much...no more is necessary. Definitely would like to stay into the low 20's mph Seams like the torque on the stock motor is plenty Last but not least, keep new motor on budget as possible. Wife is going to kill me if she knew anything about me thinking about new motor. I know there is plum quick and D&D...but can anyone suggest actual motor. Also, what about a new OEM stock motor... Is that not recommended??.Probably something better? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |
Re: Motor suggestions
Send your motor to Plumquick for a bandit work over. It's the most economical motor upgrade. Plus if your already comfortable with your speed and torque, it wouldn't make since to pay 600 to get more of something you don't want. If you do decide on a new motor, go with D&D.

Re: Motor suggestions
Plum Quick, EMP and all the others will clean and refurbish your motor for you. That way, you aren't getting a new motor, ($600 to $750), you are getting your, "cleaned and refurbished". Most ladies understand the need for a bit of refurbishment now and again.

Re: Motor suggestions
What do these guys do when they refurbish a motor? Reading the PQ site they advertise a 25% increase in torque and speed. I was talking to a local electric motor repair shop and he was saying that the only way to get any more out of a motor is to increase the amount of iron and copper in the motor. He had a hard time figuring what could be done for the small amount charged in the Bandit(? $225) motor which likely includes new brushes.

Re: Motor suggestions
Not sure what they can do either without replacing major components of your motor.

When I talked to PQ, they said you have to send a "good working" motor. If the motor works...not sure what good means. I would hate to pay shipping only to find out the motor ain't so good.
They seem to have a lot of followers and people that are happy. To me it sounds like you have to be good at evaluating the status of your motor...maybe I just don't understand. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |
Re: Motor suggestions
I had a bandit motor.I loved it. You can see the remains of it in my avatar. It wasn't their fault I over revved it. It was noticeable, whatever they do to it.
