There are a few basics to understand when upgrading a golf cart. First you must learn which drive system the cart has. Is it series or sepex? And if it is sepex is it regen 1 or 2, or is it IQ
Then you need to have a plan. Are you building up for speed or off road use?
If you know what the end result should be you can usually upgrade in steps that will lead to your goal without having to do any backtracking
Wow. Tons of very useful information. That's what I was looking for. Thanks so much guys. I can make an informed decision now. I live in a pretty hilly neighborhood, so I'm willing to sacrifice a little top end speed for more torque to climb the hills a little better and for carrying 4 people. Thanks again for all the responses
