Which High Torque Motor
Well I have read through a lot of threads on this website and I apologize if I am asking a redundant question. I have a 2006 EZGO PDS cart lifted with 22" wheels that I am going to use for a hunting cart. My needs are to climb some steeper grades but I am not climbing walls here. I also will use it to tow sprayers, haul deer out of the woods, haul sacks of corn for feeding, etc... I do want to upgrade to a high torque motor. I have talked to Plum Quick and D & D, they seem to be the top two sources. I am looking at the D & D 502:1 with a 500 amp controller, 4awg wire upgrade, and upgraded solenoid. From what i am gathering on this website D & D is the top of the line for motors. I don't mind spending the money as long as the quality and performance is there. Any other recommendations/input from experienced users of these products would be greatly appreciated. Basically which motor is the best bang for my buck.

Re: Which High Torque Motor
Also, wondering how this upgrade will affect my 36V battery run time?

Re: Which High Torque Motor
I can't recommend a torque motor but as far as "Best bang for the buck" a PQ motor is the way to go hands down. Anytime you add power your run time is going to suffer....now way around it.

Re: Which High Torque Motor
The PDS high torque motor is the GE D1162. It is a 36v regen motor that spins at 1200 RPM with 8.9 peak HP.
The D&D one you quoted should be a 170-502-0001 which is equivalent to the GE1162. Check PQ for an equivalent, they are pretty knowledgeable and a sponsor here. |

Re: Which High Torque Motor
I would explain what you want to do to Robby at PQ. He will tell you the best way to go even if it is with some other company.

As for the D&D, while the HP might be close to the GE, it has enough other issues (like cheap and incorrectly pressed bearings) to make it a poor second cousin to the GE and will usually cost more than the GE.... PQ, from what I have been informed, is an excellent sponsor and motor designer. I personally have not had the pleasure of doing business with them yet, but I plan to remedy that in the near future. |

I have heard nothing but good about this sponsor and no one has reported any issues with their motors. |

Re: Which High Torque Motor
I have the PQ Bandit and it has done well. Have Altrax dcx400 and 22" tires and it will climb a fairly stout hill with 600lbs of cargo around 15mph. I believe the folks at PQ to be top notch.

Re: Which High Torque Motor
Ok, so if you were choosing a hight torque motor, a GE or Plum Quick now. I am new and I just want to get a good high quality product for that amount of money. I am looking for recommendations from people that own and use products they are recommending. Thanks.
