So what happened to your Club Car?

I sold it. Maybe I should take that pic out lol. It wasn't what I wanted. The whole thing was falling apart and I didn't want to put it back together.

[LONE-STAR]

Oh ok well it sounds like your getting a good deal on the Ez-Go. So what is the first mod?

And what do you have planned for that one? 44" monster mudders? Maybe slammed to the ground with spark blocks? Whatever it is I am sure I will want it when you are done with it, you rock!

[AuburnJen92]

LOL maybe!!! No not yet need to rip one apart first and see what can be done.

[Eeyore'sthebest]

I have a question...Do many private campgrounds exclude electric carts? We just tried to make reservations and this one campground and they won't permit our cart. They want us to rent theirs instead. Uh, no thanks. I'm not dropping an additional $200 a week to rent their crappy cart when I have a nice one sitting in my yard.

Is this the norm? And she was pretty snotty about it too! (or maybe I was snotty about it... :rotfl: )

[2goofycampers]

All of the private CG's I have been to let us bring ours. None of the Gov't run ones will tho.:sad2:

Hey, Tungpo, why don't you come over to my site and list some of your carts!! I already have the link for you, but need some more stuff on that forum!!

[tungpo1]

If you want you should check out my site now if you haven't in a while. I just need to fix the items they say "out of stock" but the items are in stock. I have carts for sale and 1000's of parts. Buy the way thanks:thumbsup2

[RvUsa]

I go there all the time, I love your carts, I just click and dream!!! I have your link on my main pages but also on the board, I put a whole section about carts etc, and I want you to run it!!! LOL come on over.

[tungpo1]

No problem I will talk to you about that:thumbsup2

[daddyscooltv]

Hey Tungpo1 was looking at your new site last night look GREAT! :thumbsup2

[LONE-STAR]

That new EZ-GO needs a lift Tungpo1:thumbsup2 and your site dose look better. I thank its time for some shopping:thumbsup2

[stacktester]

I bought a 97 EZ Go today for $500 from a client. It's in pretty good shape. It needs new batts and I'll probably paint it soon. A buddy of mine works for a golf course and says wait til I buy the batts because he get's a deal. Hopefully have it lifted before LDGG. Not gonna go crazy but I figure for the price I got it for I can dump another 1,500 into it and have a decent cart. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

[RvUsa]

How come everyone finds these great deals but me???:confused3:confused3

DANGIT, I WANT A CART!!! :headache::mad:

[RvUsa]

Well how is this for a coinky dink, my buddy just called and found a 87 club car with new batteries and solenoids, in good shape for $650, whats your opinion, is it worth it?

Let me know fast, I have to go to the car show in the AM and get it if I want it.

[AuburnJen92]

considering you can spend $650 for just the batteries I say go for it...

if nothing is wrong with it, I say go for it. See if you can get it for $500, but make sure the batteries are new.

[RvUsa]

considering you can spend $650 for just the batteries I say go for it...

They are 1 yr old, but that is kinda what I was thinking, my buddy rode it around the fairgrounds for about 2 hrs today, and said it was a smooth as glass. I think I might get it, unless someone says something bad about club cars.....

[Gatordad]

club cars are the best, you won't have a problem there.

[RvUsa]

Well the wife just called from work, and gave me the go ahead, so unless you guys change my mind by morning, I think I am going out to get it. :)

[stacktester]

All carts are created equal. This guy is biased. Yes this is a personal attack. Give me as many points as allowed. :cool1: :cool1:

What do you think Donnie? Yes or no? What do you have?

[Gatordad]

donnie has an e-z-go.

[stacktester]

donnie has an e-z-go.

Club really is the best. I'm just not as rich as G dad. I think for $650 you'll be just fine.

[RvUsa]

I have been looking on craigslist and ebay, and real POS's are going for a grand... I think even if it is a little rough I will get it. I can paint it cheap, get some bling bling from tungpo, and resell it for a profit.... lol

[Gatordad]

for $650 you won't go wrong.

[RvUsa]

This is so funny, I just got done crying on this thread that I couldn't find a cart, and 2 hrs later I get the call.

It doesn't have a roof, but I think I will fab up a roll bar/roof rack kinda thing, along with a push bar, out of steel tube, make it look kinda off road like. LOL

Watch, I will get there tomorrow, it will have 1 wheel broken off, caught fire and rolled. That is my luck!!!

I see we have the same luck LOL :rotfl2: . Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. as elec. carts go I have heard CC are about the best. Sound like you and Donnie will be having lots of fun tearing cart apart. :banana: Congrats on the carts to both of yall.:thumbsup2

[RvUsa]

Well it's home! I bought it. It is not in great shape, but when I get done with it, it will look cool. I am not going to tell you the theme, but it is gonna be an all out disney "theme" cart.... ok I will give you a hint, Think Animal Kingdom.... :thumbsup2

[Minnie's Mate]

At the time I bought mine, I preferred the E-Z-Go body to the then current Club Car. But I really like the new Club Car bodies much better than the previous body. The thing about the Club Car is that there are more after market replacement bodies for it. I know you want to go Disney, but Club Car has everything available from '57 Chevy to '64 'stang to Jeeps to Hummers to F-250 and Dodge Ram bodies and the list goes on and on that you can buy to replace the existing one with if you want to change it out in lieu of painting the existing one or if it has body damage. They are pricey though and will still need to be painted once mounted. But the mounting is fairly straight forward.

[AuburnJen92]

Remember John, when I got my old 85 EZGo, it was hideous pink...you will have it fixed up in no time, I just know it!

It is going to be a lot of fun.

One of my carts that I have is a 91 Club Car that needed some TLC. The guy I bought it from I don't think ever cleaned her much less maintenance.

I really had a good time bringing her back to life and while it did cost some money, with ebay and Auto Parts store it can be done not quite as bad. (that is what I did)

Or for the girls how about a pretty pink princess cart, a tiara (spelling?) somewhere themed in the cart.

[RvUsa]

Hey Rog, I think I may have a contender in the slowest cart at the fort! Yikes, this thing is slow going down hill.... LOL

Erica and I are rethinking the whole disney theme thing, the way I would do it, would probably add about 250 lbs to the cart, and with the 3 of us on there, it may not move! :lmao::lmao:

We have been kicking around the idea of painting this one nice, and fixing a few of the little problems, and ebaying it and getting a gasser......

That sort of thing happens to me in my mini-van (sexiest vehicle out there, you know) :lmao: I just get a big, sappy grin on my face, wave like I'm seeing my best friend, and enjoy watching them turn all kinds of lovely shades of red while their mouths move in a most ferocious way. Kill them with kindness.:cutie:

[BigDaddyRog]

John...Im pretty sure you have a series cart....that means you can make a couple of fairly inexpensive mods to your system and get a very decent speed out of it....dont give up just yet........but you're right about the reconsideration of adding an unnesseccary 250lbs to it. But I bet after you paint it you'll be too attached to it to abandon it to some stranger on ebay!!!

[RvUsa]

Don't get me wrong guys, it's not the speed thing that makes us think about changing.... LOL We have a very l o n g driveway with a pretty good hill, and the main use of this cart will be to carry the little booger back and forth to the bus (cheaper than firing up the diesel). Anyhoo, with me and him in the cart it BARELY makes it up the hill, I mean barely.... with the 3 of us in it, it is stick you foot out the side and help push... LOL

My point is, I want to do something spectacular (see hint about animal kingdom) but will require serious modification/fabrication to complete, and I am not sure I want to invest the time and money to do that to this cart. So we may just "trade Up" thats all.... LOL

And to all you Men out there who purchased or now drive a MINIVAN. I am sorry I have to do this but you brought it on yourselves. I am now taking away your man cards.

[clkelley]

I can happily say I've never owned a minivan. What's so weird is it's not for most reasons people say. Most folks get a minivan to haul kids around, but kids have dirty stuff. So you'd still have to put the dirty stuff "inside" a minivan. With a crew cab truck, I could still haul 4 kids AND put the dirty "stuff" in the back of the truck, and my floors are vinyl, so I could scrub those out. No carpet for me!!! It just worked out that it's the perfect tow vehicle for my T@B!!

[RvUsa]

Well, I had to replace some of the battery cables today, went to move it, and one was so corroded it broke off, so I bought some 2 gauge monster cable and some solder on ends and made me some... I was hoping it would give it a little more pep, nope, still slow!!

I am going to go look at some of the cart boards and see if the solenoids are all supposed to be the same temp after you run it a while, I have one that is about 30 degrees hotter than the other 4.... ( I have an infrared thermometer)

[des1954]

I have an infrared thermometer

Those are cool! Our A/C maintenance guy has one of them & he "proved" to me that it was -45 degrees in Florida in June! Yes he did!! He aimed it toward the sky & the temp sank like a rock! Darndest thing I ever saw!!

Ok, but one more thing about mini-vans first! :rotfl:

I'll admit, the day I got my mini van I cried. Boo-hoo'd! Youth, beauty, sensuality, spontenaity-----GONE! I cried as if I had lost a dear friend and promised to blame my husband for all eternity.

Now, 8 years later, I own the very same mini van...Mrs Higginbottom btw, she is paid for, reliable, filthy dirty, dented, scratched and adorned with honor roll and fort stickers. I AM a soccer mom. I do, by nature, know how to multi-task, but choose not to while driving (unless I have to break up a fist fight in the back seat). She is not pretty. But has a video player and room for friends. Therefore....mini van = familial bliss.

also......there is nothing hotter than a confidant man driving a mini van......;)
well, except maybe a man with a duster ----oooooo!

Oh I wish we could downsize to a minivan. I drive a full size E-150 hi-top conversion. Beautiful the day we bought it and went right from the dealer to the hospital to bring the first of our quadruplets home from the hospital. 7 years later and long ago paid for, its mine, dirty, and getting smaller, no room for extra friends, here. I am hoping to add an 8 passenger mini for our everyday use, they'll be tight, but technically we would have room for 1 more, maybe 2 if I use the trunk ;) . Cheaper on the gas too.

Saw a report on the Today Show this morning that more and more people are starting to use their golf carts instead of their cars. I know some people here are doing it.

Are any of you guys using your golf carts to get around town?

Not sure if we will or not. We would have to put in brake lights and turn signals and put in seat belts. Then get it tagged, (already insured) and get a town sticker. I already save a lot with my scooter and my husband really needs to have his truck for work.

But Ami, I feel your pain, it's impossible keeping it clean with 3 kids. I get so mad sometimes with all the garbage they leave in there, french fries in the seats, etc.:confused3

Saw a report on the Today Show this morning that more and more people are starting to use their golf carts instead of their cars. I know some people here are doing it.

Are any of you guys using your golf carts to get around town?

Not sure if we will or not. We would have to put in brake lights and turn signals and put in seat belts. Then get it tagged, (already insured) and get a town sticker. I already save a lot with my scooter and my husband really needs to have his truck for work.

We use our cart in the neighborhood. It's great to get back and forth to the pool and tennis courts. We also take it to the convenience store/gas station that is down the road. However, we have huge hills and traffic on the main roads...so no way we could take it around town. :rolleyes:

[tungpo1]

I'm working on a customers Club Car with a 57 Chevy body, its nice I will post some pics its a actual body steel cut down to fit. This is by far about the nicest work I ever seen. Putting a big block 23hp in it, running a 9hp right now, I will post some pics of the build if anyone is interested in seeing them.

[RNmomnFL]

also......there is nothing hotter than a confidant man driving a mini van......;)
well, except maybe a man with a duster ----oooooo!


DH had a duster in the late 80s. It was gold-colored if memory serves. God he loved that car. But he also loved his truck and motorcycle that he got later. You know, I can't think of any of his vehicles he hasn't loved. His first beater had one door that was tied shut and the other wouldn't open...he used to deliver pizzas by climbing out the window (I'm crying from laughter over the memories.)

[LONE-STAR]

Well I brought the backhoe home from work and started cutting golf cart trails down by the creek. Plus I made a hill to fly over.:cool1: Lots of fun.

We live on an island with a speed limit of 25 so it would be no problem to run it around here. Just not sure we want to do it.

I wouldn't want to go up huge hills either. Imagine you'd get run over.

I love that cart too but it might be hard to find one like that. Its an actual body split and welded back together to fit the cart. I cant imagine what he can get for it, he said he was offered lots of cash but its priceless to him.

That is an absolute beautiful cart conversion! I would, however, be afraid of weight issues with a metal body. Back in the '50's they actually used real steal when they made car bodies. :eek:

Its really not that heavy, they took out a lot of metal to shrink it plus I put heavy duty leaf springs on it.

[BigDaddyRog]

That is, without a doubt, the toughest cart IVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!! Just knowing the work that went into chopping the original body down to cart size and it being flawless (at least in the pictures)....I mean..I cant even see a welding seam......thats some true talent there!!!!

[LONE-STAR]

Wow that is a awesome cart. I know my pockets are not deep enough for that. But I like the idea of droping the Vanguard in my cart:thumbsup2

You can do it man.

[Minnie's Mate]

I have a 2003 E-Z-Go Textron (IIRC) that is stock in the running gear dept. Can I add 2-6 volt batteries and get more power on hills and more speed? It really slows on the bridge between the meadows and the dog park and everybody passes us like we were sitting still even on level grade with a full charge. I probably need new batteries, but if it would make a difference I would just go ahead and buy two more. I really can't justify (or afford) a new motor and controller and new batteries considering the only time we use it is when we go to Ft. Wilderness. But if/when I do buy a new motor and controller I will spring for the fastest thing I can find to make it worth it.:flower3:

First thing is.. If your batts are old never try to change just a couple change them all it will kill the new ones fast. As for speed and torque you need a good HP motor with a bigger amp controller you will be able to climb anything at the fort even the huge hill when entering the campground to the right by the maint dept.

Thanks for the rapid reply. I was thinking in terms of buying 8-6 volt batteries instead of buying 6.

I guess I'm just going to have to save up until after we move which will probably be next spring with the housing market what it is.

Any suggestions on what type motor and controller I should get for an E-Z-Go? I visited a booth at an RV show this spring and the rep looked in her catalog and found a motor that didn't require a new controller. I forgot the horsepower, but it was up there with the ones that did.

[tungpo1]

To go from 36 volt to 48 volt will cost you will have to do more then just add two more batts.

[Minnie's Mate]

Thanks. Sounds like a project for next July 4th's trip to the Fort.

Tugpo...D&D motor systems says their 400amp controller will make my cart go up to 22mph without changing the motor....is this possible? Or are they just trying to sell products?
Heres the a copy of the chart:
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t296/dj_bigdaddyrog/318166d0.jpg
It says it "vehicle speed 22mph" and right above that it says"normally 12-14 mph"....AND will give a 20% increase in torque. The torque I can believe, but do you trust these guys as far as what they are claiming for speed?
I blew my controller trying to hook up a motor that I shouldnt have been trying to hook up and will be needing a new controller anyway...and if this does what it claims...Im upgrading to this.

[2goofycampers]

[tungpo1]

48v clubcar, regenII....original motor. curently does 12mph. No lift kit, no back seat, no oversized tires....mainly flat terrain.

I highly doubt 22mph with just a controller change with your stock motor. The controller might give you a couple of more mph but its main purpose is torque.

1) Pull off your brake drums and check out the pad condition as well as the brake drum
2) Make sure you tighten the nut on your brake drum super tight and replace to codder pin.
3) check all rear tire lug nuts and tighten

These are the most common things that will cause rear noise. I just hope its not a rear bearing, but try these items first.

Did you do all the sanding too John?

[RvUsa]

Donnie, its automotive paint, Omni single stage urethane. I sprayed it with an hvlp gun, hence the overspray! LOL I had a lot of body work to do on the thing, it was pretty bad before. I primed it with a flex primer so the paint won't crack if it is leaned on (flexible nose). I will color sand and buff the red when it dries, in about 12 hrs.

Here is what it looked like when I started:

color sanding gets all the orange peel out of the clear you wet sand then buff out till is shines with a high speed buffer and some swirl remover. I'm doing a UM cart next week I will get some pics of the painting etc process.

I have a golf cart story. A few weeks ago, at MILs house, my nephew was driving my DD9 on a golf cart, took a turn too fast and threw her off. MIL said "NO more driving the GC!"to him. A week later......he's back on the GC (Dad said it was ok) and he crashes it into the side of MILs truck, tearing up the whole front end of the GC!

Maybe this is why Disney doesn't kids driving them?

[VACAMPER]

my nephew and daughter were just sitting on my BIL's GC the other day and accidently not the brake off and it rolled off the hill backward and into my in laws building. I was surprised they didn't get hurt.

Looks pretty good John. I sold the EZ GO I bought a couple weeks ago. Put new batts in it, paid $550 for the cart and flipped it for $1,600 this morning. Made 6 bills pretty quick. It was a good cart (97 model) but Derek offered me a gas precedent at a deal I just can't refuse and I really wanted gas. Now if I can just get Gatordad to deliver it to me. I think I may start flipping a few of these here and there. I find em all the time for 5 bills and they need a little work.

[LONE-STAR]

Looks good John :thumbsup2 Congrats on the gas cart Donnie you will love it. 6 gallon's of gas running it everyday will last 3 to 6 months easy and you never have to look for a plug:)

I can't even afford to look at the website. :lmao:

Man that roadster is sweetl

Well the golf cart bombed on Ebay, big surprise huh, with my luck I am surprised someone didn't email me that it was theirs and was stolen, and they wanted me to ship it to Canada on my dime.... LOL

[Gatordad]

try craigslist.

[RvUsa]

Already on there! ;)

Here's hoping.

[AuburnJen92]

also put it on onlineauction.com...

Okay gang, I really really want a golf cart, but can't afford a lot right now. I'd rather buy a fixer upper and customize it myself over time. I've found a EZ-GO Marathon series GAS for $750 that looks in good shape, but will probably need the carb rebuilt soon. Whatcha think?

I am a yamaha gas guy so I don't know about ez-go. But just about any gas cart that runs and dose not smoke is worth a grand.
Oh yeah gas carts rule :banana: . I would figure out how much $$$ you will need to put into it to make it what you want and see if it is worth it to you. If you can do a compression test on the motor to make sure its not worn out.(I did not do this until after I bought our carts but they where ok). I say buy it and have fun:thumbsup2

[BigDaddyRog]

Man....it doesnt matter how much you spend or save....once you get your hands on one....your gonna spend all your extra cash kickin it up a notch here and there.....I paid 2g for my cart, and have put almost that amount into it....it was perfect when I purcheased it....didnt NEED anything, but I could tell it wanted a pimp-over. Waiting for a new controller to come in right now, I blew the original trying to install a bigger motor that wasnt compatible. According to the manufacturer of the new controller...it will give me the extra speed that I was trying to get with the motor anyway....so, in my head, that cancels out the cost of the new controller.....my wife doesnt see it quite the same way!!!

[Gatordad]

my motor blew your controller?

[BigDaddyRog]

No...me trying to hook your motor up blew my controller...it wasnt your motors fault!!! It didnt do anything wrong!!

[big kahuna1]

I could be worng here but I do not think the controller has anything to do with increasing speed. I think bigger contollers are needed to handle increasing speed but that speed has to come form the motor and/or gearing. Again, I could be wrong though. Maybe tungpo will chime in here and advise us.

[BigDaddyRog]

I know its sounds too good to be true...but the dude on the phone said that the controllers originally put in my club car purposely limits the speed allowed to the motor...the 400amp one their sending me is wide open with no set limit on it. Oh...and it will give me 20% more torque, as well.
We'll see how it performs...he said they offer a 100% money back garantee if unsatisfied for any reason. So if it doesnt do something sweet, it goes right back to them and I buy a refurbished one on ebay for half the price Im paying for this one.

[big kahuna1]

Let's hope so but I still have my doubts but then again, I am not a golf cart expert.

I just know that when I went with a bigger motor I had to go with a bigger controller. In addition, I believe gearing is what controls torque but, like I said, I am not an expert and can be competely full of you know what or may be just half right or somewhere in between. I hope it does work though.:thumbsup2

[BigDaddyRog]

Me too...keeping my fingers crossed....I'll keep ya up to date.

[tungpo1]

upgrading your controller might give you a few MPH but its purpose is to increase your torque

[Minnie's Mate]

I seem to have good torque, but just not enough top end speed. I'm afraid a new motor and corresponding controller combination is going to be my only answer. That's more than I am ready to invest right now since the only time I use the golf cart is when we go to the Fort.

The prices that I find seems like $500-700 for a new motor and about the same for a controller. Add to that new batteries (mine are the originals that came with it in 2003) and I'm looking at $1,400-$2,000. Maybe I'm way off. This is something I'm way out of my league on.

he's pre-med.

[big kahuna1]

That's good to hear. I was afraid he may of gotten ripped off but like I said, I know just enough to get my self in trouble. I lost some torque changing gears. Maybe if I go with a bigger controller I will get some torque back. I have to get a little running start now to get it in the back of the Toy Hauler now.

[BigDaddyRog]

Well....being ripped off is STILL a possibility....living in southern LA...I dont really have a need for torque....their aint as much as a small hill unless it was man made around here....I took this bait based soley of the promise of speed, the torque is just a bonus.

[lawnspecialties]

We just installed a 3.5 hp electric motor in our EZ-GO. It's the one in the original posting.

It's claimed to go an extra mile or two faster but it's much better than that. The GPS clocked it at 22 mph. The stock motor barely hit 15 mph.

You install a 500amp Alltrax and you will get your torque back and then some.
