Cheapest way to go 48v

[Bmatlock00]

Im planning on going 48v on my 2005 Ezgo txt series cart. I have the charger and am going to get the batteries today or tomorrow. I have a GE raptor motor that runs at 5330rpms, about 24mph . I figure it will turn a little over 7000 on 48v, is this safe for this motor? Will a NPX controller be fine or is there some reason I need to get an AXE?

You will not get the same performance from an NPX as an AXE unless that NPX is specially factory programmed for such use.
We recently had a run of these controls specially programmed for us at Alltrax. (no user programming on NPX) The average NPX says not for modified, lifted, off road, or 4 passenger golf carts on it. These NPX are identical to AXE except for the program hardware so they are less expensive.
