Forgive me , I don't know how to contact Scotty directly.
I have purchased a 1998 Western Elegante. They went out of business in 2006.
It has 7- 6volt batteries and runs perfect....looks nearly perfect. I have had many golf carts, and was told by a qualified club car tech, that you can put a 36 volt motor in a 48 volt cart and it greatly increases speed ( on club car ).
My question to Scotty and any other experienced tech is: Do you think I could put 6- 8 volt batteries in the elegante ( currently a 42 volt ) thereby making it a 48 volt cart. Would you think the controller and motor would handle the extra voltage? If so this might increase my top end speed. It is nearly street legal and only needs a brake light kit, and seat belts.
Many thanks to this wonderful site
