I've got a Navitas 600a controller into a D&D motor on my DS Even turned all the way up on the OTF the most I ever see it pull is just over 200amps on the gauge.
@@PlumQuickRacingI have a one year old Evolution Lipo 48v 105ah lithium battery installed in my 2010 club car DS cart. That should be plenty battery for 27-30mph shouldn’t it?
I'm just curious. In my 2019 cart I upgraded the batteries and charger where I put 4 x 12v LiFePo4 batteries instead of 6 x 8v lead gel batteries and I'm wondering how well this kit will work with those batteries. I think there shouldn't be any problems.
@@PlumQuickRacing so I wouldn't need lithium? I could use 12v deep cycles instead? And just get the 72v solenoid instead of the 48v? And also why doesn't everybody just get the 72v if you can just put 6 12v deep cycle lead acid batteries for like 40-50mph over doing the 48v which is 35mph? All the difference is, is the solenoid is 72v and u got 12v batteries, right? Or is there a downfall to having 72v on this system? Because I believe this same system you installed is good for 72v also.
@@PlumQuickRacing also, with the 600a kit. Is deep cycle lead acid batteries ok? Or do they not put out enough amps for the controller. Because idk if that controller will put out 600a but for a second when you floor it maybe?
I was reading on the Plum Bandit website about what they do to your electric motor when you send it in...besides inspecting the heck out of it...they then say - "During this build up process is when we do our trademark 12 point performance upgrade enhancements to each and every motor" - But they don't describe what is done......maybe it's a secret..... I would have liked to know what is actually done for $250 dollars.... Thanks for the Video...
No one can answer this. I have an ez go 2001 cart. I have an Alltrax controller and a lithium 52 volt battery. Also 24 inch wheels It runs 29 mph plum quick says if I install the demon motor I can run 40 mph. Is that possible before I spend 900 on the motor
Demon motor listed as this..........New Custom Built Motor, Class H Motor Rating, High Performance Brushes, Torque/Speed EZ-GO 48 volt Series 19 spline 16.7 HP, Speed 28-30 mph (estimated) and added 50% more torque *must upgrade controller*, flat terrain and a good quality battery pack. With the lithium pack and taller tires you could see around 35 mph.
I noticed there is a pretty substantial delay between putting the pedal down and getting acceleration from the cart in this video. Have you noticed this on other Navitas installations? I just installed a Navitas AC kit and am unable to find out what's causing this on my cart as well.
Done the whole conversion only getting about 28-30 out of it. Same 400a solenoid, 600 amp controller, 5k kit. 23 inch tires. 07 precedent. Can’t get more than 5200 rpm.
When you do any up grade like this the next thing that crops up is the next "Limiting Factor " which I would suspect would be the brakes . Not really knowing about golf cart brakes does the electric motor provide "Dynamic Braking" to stop the cart ?
I went to your web site and read your literature about upgrading to one your motors . It mentions upgrading the controller to handle the increased current demands but to my surprise it makes no mention of upgrading the cart brakes to handle the increased stopping distance that will occur with the increased operating speeds . This seems kind of irresponsible not to include a warning about an upgrade to the brake system along with this motor upgrade on non sepex carts . Am I missing something ?
@@kls2020what you missed is that you went to the equivalent of a car performance transmission and engine shop. You as the customer seeking out the services they provide are to make your own decisions on what safety precautions are to be added. Not get upset with a transmission/engine shop for not offering roll cages, brake upgrades, parachute kits and fire suppression systems. Other shops will specialize in just those areas.
MrMotorhead Not upset at an electric motor vender for not selling /providing additional required equipment with their product just think they should give a potential buyer a heads up about any other upgrades that will probably also be needed if their motor is installed . Key word here is "Disclaimer"
@@kls2020 New Custom Built Motor, Class H Motor Rating, High Performance Brushes, Torque/Speed Club Car 48 volt Series 10 spline 14.2 HP, Speed 28-30 mph (estimated) and added 50% more torque *must upgrade controller*, flat terrain and a good quality battery pack. *this is stated in the description*
Do you have to be in the dealer settings to be able to change it from the priest at 25 mph up to the full potential of 35 because I saw another video that said you have to change your RPMs to 6500 and that part doesn’t allow me to make a manual change on the app
Just received my Navitas 4KW 600 AMP kit today. I have a 1999 DS club car and had a question. I want to update the solenoid to a 48V 400 AMP MZJ-400. It has a resistor and a diode that comes with it. Do I need them? It also say Notice: Please set the starting power at 120W-170W, keep power at 5W-11W, otherwise the solenoid may be burned out. Never did a upgrade and was hoping for your help. Thank you for all of your videos
@@mellownessuperstar2618 If you're just wanting the Bandit upgrade then you can just send us your motor for the upgrade and run your stock components. You'll need the harness conversion if you're wanting to run the AC kit and get speeds up to 30+ mph and great torque.
I recently mounted up your Grizzly motor in my 97' Club Car DS. I found it to be a tight fit. It looks like the shock is going to rub. I'm thinking about relocating the shock mounts or trying to slide the axle forward on the leaf spring by a half inch. Not sure if the latter is even possible but I'll try that first. Although, it can't go forward too far, or it'll be into the frame. I bought the cart used and it seems to have been pieced together with different parts so I'm thinking someone had maybe adjusted the rearend at some point and maybe didn't get it set just right. If you have any best bets for me, please share, but I'm confident I'll figure something out. I'm really happy with the looks of the motor and really excited to see how it performs. I'm in the process rebuilding the aluminum battery tray from acid damage. Planning to buy a 48V NMC kit from BigBattery. I'm going NMC because I don't want to have to keep it heated when charging as I would if I went Lifepo4. A concern of mine was the lower voltage of their NMC batteries. Thats only slightly less than a typical FLA set at 51.2. Any reason to be concerned? I couldn't find a spec sheet on the Grizzly motor with operating parameters but I'm betting 50.4V will be fine for it.
Look at this plumquick.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/RAGING-BULL-Club-Car-IQ-on-lifted-cart-installation-adjustments-1.pdf different motor same concept.
I just bought the same system from Matt at Plum Quick. I have a 36v series and pulled everything out and converted to a 48v. How do I wire the dash Fwd/Rev switch? The wire harness I bought appears to connect the switch in the body behind the knee. I have the Sw180 Curtis Solenoid as well.
I have an early ‘70’s Harley electric golf cart and two questions: first, there are five or six electrical devices in a row behind the seat battery bank. I believe that these are “solenoids”. I want to replace them because of age. What new components replace these silver small canisters. The second question is the motor configuration. The back of the motor bolts directly on the differential. The other end has the disc brake assembly bolted directly to the motor with the disc connected to the armature drive shaft. Can plumb quick provide a new motor or do they rebuild the old motor?
hey guys. Anyone here know a guy that has one of the Danaher handsets that would be willing to shoot me the wiring diagram at the serial port plug at the base of the handset? My girls yanked my wires out...
