How To Make Your Slow Golf Cart Faster | Plum Quick Motors Rattlesnake | Club Car DS Series Build 

I’m really glad you did this set-up with the little bit cheaper upgrades. As much as I want to put a complete Navitas and big Lithium on my DS I really can’t make myself justify spending about $5k more on my cart! This setup is perfect and will save me a ton of $! Great set of video’s on this DS build, I have really enjoyed watching them..

Motor made all the difference. Cool

I had a Plum Quick motor installed on my Club Car to make it street Legal in NC. Exactly what it needed.

Awesome! Now I know the exact parts and installation process for my series DS. 30mph is fast enough for me with the stock brakes. Thanks again for another great video!

Just got my first car over the weekend, it's a 2017 Club Car Presedent with a 48 volt set up. Adding front and rear lights. rear seat and springs, mirrors and 2 front hub bearings. Love your videos.

Thanks you for the information.That is what I need for my DS.The motor make a big difference!

Great, that's the same motor I purchased from Plum Quick. Loving it

I have used Plum quick I have found them to be good people with a good product.

Great video! Clean visuals! We appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skills with us.

That pretty quick for a DS, I have to agree with you on the wheels!!✌🏻

That's a pretty amazing result 🥳

Let me know if you want to sell those wheels, I like 'em Great video on the motor upgrade, got me thinking now

I have the Grizzly with everything stock and I get to about 22-23 top end. I have new this spring US Batteries. Controller upgrade this spring and redo all my suspension. Enjoyed the video as always.

When I worked at a golf facility in my late teens, we got an early 90's four stroke gas Yamaha cart going over 45 mph just by removing the throttle governor. It was a ton of fun to drive but it well overpowered it's tiny drum brakes.

Awesome man!

Thanks for the video! I am getting the old motor off to put the upgraded one on. What do you do when they are stuck on the shaft?

Great informative video once again mate , wish we had access to the various manufacturers that you do , here in Australia . Thanks again and look forward to the rest of this build as it the same model as mine , and every thing you are doing is the dream.going to start with a motor/controller upgrade , will be using your recommendations .

one thing to note on these older series carts is that the motors seize on the shaft about 50% of the time and its much harder to remove and forget about re-using the old motor if that happens. also upgrading a series cart that uses a mechanical forward and reverse switch is asking for trouble. those things melt down on stock carts, we even had a customer a long time ago loose his cart because it melted so badly it caught on fire. so keep that in mind when pushing many more amps through those

I have a 2010 Club Car DS with a lithium 48v 105ah battery. Would this Plumquick help me get over 20mph or do I also need to replace the controller?

Yeah, love this series! Shows how you can build up the build for people on a budget. Can do it one step at a time. Batteries, controller, then motor. Do you think with a 600amp controller, you will see a little more speed? Also, I would like to see what a gear change will do to it speed wise, even if you don't like it and keep it on the cart, it would show the difference and allow people to make an educated decision on whether it would be worth the investment or not. One last thing, with the controller, does the software of the all Trax allow to adjust parameters for when size and gear ratios?

I'm honestly still in disbelief that the cart was so slow at first. That factory motor looked really tired. 30mph DC ds sign me up !!! 😍

I have a 48v 2010 club car ds with a D&D high speed motor with a FSIP 250A controller. It’s lifted with 23” tires and I can reach 24mph on a full charge. Is there any way to get more out of it and faster acceleration or mph without burning up the motor? Thanks

I know this is an old video. But do you know who mad the rear seat for the golf cart I have one that looks the same and need a rear roof support.

Were your drum brakes sufficient enough to handle the increased speed from the rattlesnake or did you have to put front disc brakes on it?

You dont have to take the leaf springs off just wrap a towel around motor undo bolts and put it up and out the access panel from the top

Is your cart 36v or 48?

Will I miss out on much performance by just using continental batteries without the lithium pack?

Will it work with 36 volt?

Love the channel. I have an EzGo dcs that I put a navitas 440 controller in. All I could get out of it was 15 mph. Trojan batteries (36v) only a year old. Just sent in my motor to plum quick for the Bandit upgrade. Hoping this will get me the 22-25 mph the say. Thoughts with the navitas? Should I upgrade the solenoid as well? If so do you have a recommendation on one?

Going to do a distance test full DC?

How are those enjoybot batteries holding up for you? Any issues at all?

I recently put an alltrax xct 400 speed controller and plum quick bandit motor on a 1996 club car ds. Will do 21mph on flat surface but loses power on hills. Is there a way to adjust the controller to make it have more low end and less top end? Better yet more low end and maintain top end.... Or is this a gear ratio issue I need to address? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the info Do you need bushing on the rear springs

Thank you for what you do. Your channel is awesome. Question though…how does the motor work with the factory controller? Do you have to change the controller to put in a after market motor such as the plumb quick?

I have a 1989 club car ds. Just installed lift, new lithium batteries, lights, new dash and added usb port for the fun of it. I'd like to upgrade the motor but I'm concerned it might be too old to replace the motor. I'd be interested in your opinion about trying to replace with the rattlesnake.

Can you just put this motor on with stock controller/solenoid? Or what kind of amp controller would you need if you do need to upgrade?

What would be the best upgrade from the resistor coils on a 2001

I’d love to know what the difference was with this motor BEFORE the lithium batteries. I have the same setup with lead acid and still get 30mph with 23” tires and 6” lift. I have a reworked Curtis with a max of 700amps. Want to know if the lithium and/or Navitas is worth the money at this point when I already hit 30mph in a series cart

Man I bought the mongoose for my 36volt EZgo. I really don’t feel all the difference. Super let down. It’s supposed to be the 60%more torque one

How much are their motors? My cart goes 18mph.

I have a 36volt Club car and wanted to make it 48volt. Would it be as simple as buying the new plum quick motor and controller, then adding the batteries?

Drop it to the ground!

7:41 Why are the back of the leaf springs disconnected and it looks like shocks too ?

What does series mean on the motor

does this help uphill speeds?

Will this work for a 2000 club cart DS 36v cart? Thanks!

I have a Precedent w/4 12v crown batts. Bought the HTRC 36/48 charger,,,turned chg on 48v & 13/18 & charged batts for 13hrs & still charging, says it is at 57.1V Batts are 1 1/2 yr old. Is this normal.

MR. RYAN sorry to keep bothering you I want to know if you can help me I need to get my 1987 club car ds faster it have to 5 solenoids system in it and it's a 36 volt is there a up grade motor I can put in it to make it faster please help me right now I can't even beat a turtle up the street 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Got a question in regards to the big batteries 72v am I supposed to leave the buttons on?

WTF is up with the single u bolt on the rear end 😂

I would be more then happy to take those wheels off of your hands lol

Let me get them wheels

Hmm, I bought a thousand dollar plumb quick motor. Had it professionally installed. My cart went from 22 mph to 15 mph. Bought all new batteries, Trojans. Motor still slow. We sent it back to plumb quick. They said it was fine and were not going to do anything. So I was out the restock fee and the install labor. Worst company ever. Now they will erase my review most likely.

Plumb Quick are absolutely useless. They messed me about for months .I'll show the email correspondence if anyone is interested.

or get a proper cart. you know...one with a GAS engine. O.o
