Convert Resistor to Controller?

AndyT · 11-23-2007, 01:36 PM

A local golf cart repairman told me I would be better off converting my '85 resistor setup to a controller, especially if I wanted more power and speed. There must be advantages to controllers, else the makers would not have started using them.
What are the thoughts of the enthusiasts here about making a conversion?

What changes are involved in the conversion?
Are there additional costs other than the controller? Motor? Charger?
Are there mods to the frame (i.e., mounting brackets, etc) that need to be made?
Can I convert incrementally, or is it best to just do it all at once? (I do still have to adhere to a budget.)
If I make the conversion, can I still be a member of the Old School Marathon Drivers? (This one is important to me

)
