1st Cart project

[BobLaw]

Had this cart for almost 3 years before deciding to do some work to it. It started as “ I need to replace the leaf springs and has now progressed to an almost complete re-build. Where she started>

[BobLaw]

Removed some of the suspension pieces and realized that this 2003 txt 36v was primarily original equipment so I started ordering>

[BobLaw]

Figured while everything was off why. To throw a lift and new wheels and tires so>

[BobLaw]

As I started putting everything together the rabbit hole got deeper and I thought “ why not try my hand at painting and body work>

[BobLaw]

While waiting for the clear coat to dry and new rivets and Xmas trees to come I started looking at the electrical. New Alltrax 500 amp and 400 a solenoid on the way from Scotty B and acting for plum quick to ship back my bandit.>

Great project! Check out my 99 rehab posted just below yours....nice color choice lol.

I can’t tell from your pictures, are you staying 36v or going 48v?
I went 48v. I’m currently in motor option overload right now. Planning on running my current one for a while and either going plumquick bandit, custom, or AMD 7124 but really don’t know yet.
Please follow up once you get you PQ motor back and give a review.

Greg,
Gonna stay at 36 for now. Controller, solenoid and wires can all be used on 48 in the future. Did the bandit upgrade with Plum Quick because it is a cheaper alternative to a high performance 36v. When these batteries go I plan to switch to lithium 48v and a 48v motor. I will definitely let you know how the bandit is once it’s back in the cart, I’ll do a full rundown of all of the performance items.
And my blue was Krylon Fusion Patriotic Blue with a 2k clear over it.

Impatiently waiting on my motor to return from Plum Quick. In the mean time just a few more items done. New Alltrax 500 controller, 400 a solenoid thanks to Scotty B. New 2 gauge wiring. New 12v transformer, bus bars and inverter mounted as well as a new dash and instruments

That blue color looks sharp! I'm doing a similar project on a 2005 txt series cart minus the plum quick and alltrax upgrades. I'm going with a little bit darker blue metallic. Replaced rear springs with HD. Once I can post pictures I'll have to make post.

Thanks, the blue is my first attempt at painting with a rattle can. Krylon fusion Patriotic Blue and then a couple of outs of 2k clear. Still have some polishing to do to get some of the orange peel but overall I’m happy with it. Almost at the finish line now.
