Which Club Car DS Should You Buy? Watch This First | How To Pick A Club Car DS Golf Cart To Build! 

Great tutorial. I have been stuck in an apartment since May 2021. The saving grace is that I have a garage and I purchased an AA01 stock DS. It was crippled with totally crumbled bushings and 5 year old batteries. With the encouragement of your videos, new bushings; 2" front extension plate 215-50x12 wheels /Tires; coil overs in the rear. New dash; steering wheel; volt meter, MCOR, it went from 12 to 16 mph. When I move to a golf community with 18 mph max paved roads, no hills, I figure anything above 20 mph will be great. So I'll be watching for the progress on these carts.

Interesting facts on the difference between the DS carts. I find the DS has more elbow room than the Precedent cart, but the Precedent is a little faster. My grandson only wants to race when he's on the Precedent and I'm on the DS😁.✌🏻

Thanks I learn a lot about the club car

Thank you. This video taught me more than most😊😊

Thanks for the videos very informational

This was a great explanation.

Great vid!! Just bought a 2013 DS with the sepiks drive system. You've gave me some very helpful info. My question is when I'm not driving it, does it pull load off the batteries if I leave it in forward?

Great information on the difference of the similar carts. I have a 2006 Yamaha that I'm working on. A question about changing to led light kit. The ignition and battery meter are wired into the old harness. Any suggestions on how to rewire with the new light kit would be appreciated!! Thank you!!

Good info sir! I have a couple of 80s DSs. The rear ends are also different from the later ones. The axel tubes are pressed into the housing and not bolted.

Great video. I have an old 1983 club car that I was going to build. I picked up a used alltrax 400a controller but still have an original 36v motor. I don't want to put a lot of money in unless I could get 25mph. Any thoughts how many volts I could push through that motor, some people say you can easily push 48v through them. Also what battery setup would you recommend? Keep up the awesome videos.

Thank you. I looking for a gas golf cart, so when I go on vacation at these resorts, I can drive it around. I'm going to make street legal, by the way. Looking forward to some more of your videos

Thank You Sir

Nice video

New sub here nice job on the video, I have a 04 DS with 600Amp DC navitas controller with a 4 KV motor and would love for you to show us more about the relay to stop the battery drain or is that only for the non sepex carts also my dog owns the cart mostly it cant move without him so I have come up with a cart name Separately excited! I have also added a LSD "posi" by hillyard and need to find the thrust washer to increase the side load it may be a club part but am hoping you or someone could guide me to one as in the graziano there is only room for one Cheers will be looking out for more!

Thank you

i have a 99 DS Sepic , ( learned both from your video) it has brand new batteries but was running intermittent but not running at all now. battery gauge works, lights come on and beeps when you put in reverse. What DIY things would you check first Sir? Thanks Much

For those that have an AC conversion eventually in mind, a pre 2008 / non-IQ DS will require you to swap in an IQ harness first. Further, the older carts will not fit the 5kW motors (11.5” long) without a lift, possibly even the 4kW (10” long) motors. You can see in this great video the newer IQ carts have way more clearance for bigger motors. Thank you Ryan for all of your awesome videos. Been following you for a year now and am finally getting some knowledge built up lol

I’m thinking about buy a 1979 club car electric we have a seasonal camp and a golf cart would be nice it’s $800 not sure if it’s worth it? I needs the fnr switch is that a deal breaker?

So if you had two of these and in same quality, how different would they be priced?

i have an ezgo txt pds 36v and a 2006 club car ds. i want to build one of them. the club car is nicer and i would prefer to build it but im reading that the navitas 600amp controller and 5kwh motor dont fit. is there a way to make that work?

I have a 92 club car ds 36 volt with brand new Trojan batteries 3" lift with 20" tires it cruises at 18 mph wich I can live with but has trouble on steep hills,what is the best affordable option the get more torque?

I learned in this excellent video I have a series DS. When I need to tow it what do I do if it has no run tow switch?

Would love to see you flip or pimp out a Yamaha 48v. I currently own one now! I believe you said you would like to find one!

Hi- can you send us the website to look up the serial number of my golf cart.

So I’m curious I just picked up one. It looks more like the one to the right the white one and I’m fixing to put a lift kit on it doesn’t matter what model it is. Add is the front end, which I would assume the same when I say front end, I mean under carriage far as the suspension

What was the website to check the serial numbers

Great video man, is there a way to speed up the stock motor on the white one, I’ve got the same one that I’m doing up, I’ve got the lithium iron phosphate battery for it.

Question about the red ds. I have that same cart and am debating on putting one of the 48v kits from big battery or uno on it, so do I need to bypass the obc? I want to put the plug where the receptacle is now so I don’t have to raise the seat when I want to charge. Everything on the cart is stock btw.

I know this an older video what is tire and wheel size on the white DS?

There is a local 2010 Club Car DS that was refurbished and has 48v lithium private is seller selling for $4,900. Do you think that’s a good buy?

Well explained video. Everywhere I look it says these carts have 2 digits mine only has T9841-703156 on serial so I’m guessing 98 is this correct? Thanks
