Hey! Thx for the video! I am just starting out on building an electric golf cart. Any recommendations on where to start. I need just about everything except the batteries since I picked some up already.
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.
Great video loved it . What does the 5K kit have or do vs the 4 k kit? It’s only 100.00 more but I don’t see any difference in speeds . Should I just buy the 5K
Thanks for the video. Curious about a comparison of the stock battery life/range and this. Clearly it's going to be worse but how much worse are we talking?
@@PlumQuickRacing I have the full Navitas A/C kit installed, 23" tires and everything else. The only time the A/C is more efficient is if you don't jam at full speed the whole time. If your going over 30+ and using fast acceleration the whole run, your batteries drain much faster. If your going only 20-25 mph you get better range than the D/C.
Since my 2008 EZGO TXT/PDS is currently 36v and I want to convert to 48v, will I need to purchase different batteries for it to work efficiently and not drain too quickly? Will it even function with the batteries I have now? TIA
So if you go into the app and tell it you have different size tires than you do can you get even more speed out of it? Will it fool the controller and motor so you can go faster than the 35 mph?
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.
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
How many miles will those Trojan batteries last on a full charge with this navitas kit? I want the navitas kit but don’t want to spend over 2,300$ for a LI battery.
@@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?
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.
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...
The problem is their customer support is horrible. Nobody is ever there to answer a phone. So if you have an issue during a install, good luck getting an answer in a decent time frame.
You forgot to mention that your modification is illegal for use on a golf cart, and may only be used if the cart is being converted to a Low Speed Vehicle, which must then be weight certified, include headlamps, taillights, turn signals, horn, seat belts, DOT approved polycarbonate windshield and wiper, inspected by the DMV, issued a VIN & vehicle title, automobile insurance, and lastly, a registration plate. The operator must also have a valid driver's license. (25-year LEO - Florida State Trooper - retired)
Dave, golf cart regulations vary from state to state. This is why the kit comes with a on-the-fly programmer which the customer has to get the app to set up the speed and before it can be saved in the app the customer has to click the "customer accepts all liability" before it can be programmed for higher speeds. Just so you know in SC you ONLY need insurance and a $5.00 one time DMV sticker to drive the cart within 4 miles of your residence on 35 mph roads and you can cross over higher speed limit roads. Thank you for your service.
Thanks so much for this. Haven't seen a video of the motor being installed on a fully built cart, only on a bare frame. Super helpful.
Always an informative cart video...not ta go off topic but you definelty look like the white ice cube...
Yea, would like to see total break down of cost. Of EZ cart-lift-rims\tires-new conversion kit.
Great viid. Noticed at the 10:40 mark that you've got a 16 penny nail in your driver front tire... Hopefully you found it already without issue!
Hey! Thx for the video! I am just starting out on building an electric golf cart. Any recommendations on where to start. I need just about everything except the batteries since I picked some up already.
For an AC motor and controller conversion of my 80s 48v ezgo do you recommend the navitas controller and navitas AC motor or the plum quik Motor?
hello, do you have electrical schematic of Curtis 1515, I need to make a modification on my golf cart! tanks!!! lol

Get with Matt on Monday and he'll direct you in the right direction.

5 kw has more torque
Well it fit a non lifted g29?

AC is actually less drain on your battery pack, it's more energy efficient.
@@PlumQuickRacing I have the full Navitas A/C kit installed, 23" tires and everything else. The only time the A/C is more efficient is if you don't jam at full speed the whole time.

You'll need to convert to 48 volts for the 5KW AC conversion kit
So if you go into the app and tell it you have different size tires than you do can you get even more speed out of it? Will it fool the controller and motor so you can go faster than the 35 mph?
You can only get so much energy out of a battery pack regardless of the settings, lithium will get you higher speeds.
Great video. I am doing a 32v conversion to 48v. I see you replaced the solenoid. Which one do you recommend for this controller?
You can use any good 48 volt 400 amp solenoid.
Do you have any more pictures of how the solenoid is wired with the remaining smaller wires thanks

Love the video used it for my hook up, but I can’t get my pedal to communicate with a programmer. I wonder if you can help me figure it out

No, problem if you run enough AH

The user app allows you to make these changes.
Will this work with Lithium batteries found on the new EZGo Liberty?
Depends on controller
How many miles will those Trojan batteries last on a full charge with this navitas kit? I want the navitas kit but don’t want to spend over 2,300$ for a LI battery.
Good quality battery pack should get around 20 miles
@@PlumQuickRacing dang… that’s it huh?… is this estimate for a cart with no lift and stock tires?
@@agentmichael_scarn3474 This is estimate, every cart will vary depending on several factors.
I am converting my cart to a 72 volt 6-12 lithium batteries with the Navitas 72 volt controller and 5 kw motor. What speeds can i expect?
40 to 50 mph
@@PlumQuickRacing Thank you !
Can you keep the original motor and still use the Navitas Controller with it?
Yes, not AC but a DC controller.
What will the speed increase to with the stock motor with the DC controller? Right now mine goes 12mph
I have EXGO txt 2006 36 volt can i upgrade to 48 volt? I would like to know what do i need to do it ?
email matt.steen@plumquick.com and he will give you your options, thanks
Have you ever worked with the badboy buggie system
Sorry, we don't offer anything for these.
What was the price for the kit?
1800
You think if i did the 72v ac conversion, could i use 6 12v regular batteries, or do you have to do a 72v lithium?? Thanks!!
You'll have to run deep cycle golf cart batteries
@@PlumQuickRacing so I wouldn't need lithium? I could use 12v deep cycles instead? And just get the 72v solenoid instead of the 48v?

@@cameronlott2303 6-12 volt batteries are going to be hard to fit under the seat and you'll have a greater weight load
@@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?
Did this decrease battery life
I'm wondering the same
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

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...
Is it possible to make this setup solar?
no
How did you get the dealer app?
navitas dashboard app
The problem is their customer support is horrible. Nobody is ever there to answer a phone. So if you have an issue during a install, good luck getting an answer in a decent time frame.
Covid has hit our shop hard with 6 positive results and one passing away over the past 45 days........sorry, doing the best we can.
Could anyone actually read the GPS at the end?
Exactly, I was wondering the same thing. The other question is what effect the 23" tires had on the speed?
Hell no
Can you set the speed faster than 35mph?
yes, you can run 72 volts and or go with 8:1 gear set
Yes, you can set it as high as you want. But, you need the voltage to get to higher speeds. My 70v eco battery gets me into the 40's on my 2015 txt.
How much did it cost for the motor and the controller and the cable let me know thanks
plumquick.com/ac-conversion-kits/
What about the rxv its already ac
All you need is a 600 amp controller, 2ga wires and a HD solenoid for up to 30 mph
Where do I order everything
Call 1-803-548-7205 ask for Matt or email matt.steen@plumquick.com and Matt can help you in ordering what you need to make this conversion. Thanks
How to change the RPM?
you have to download the user app.
Why do they call this an AC motor?? This is a brushless DC motor.
Because it is an ac motor, there are 3 phases on the brushless motor hence the 3 power cables. All brushless motors are 3 phase.
Damn $2000 tho
