I just traded a bunch of kids toys for what appears to be a 2004 EZ GO 36v shuttle 2+2 (series DC) and have a bunch of questions.
Is this cart compatible with TXT parts?
This cart has a big lift kit and 23x10.5x12 tires. Are these too big for this setup?
The cart was dead when I got it. I checked the battery water level and then charged it overnight. The next day 5 of the batteries were at 6.3x volt while one was at 6.2x volt. Is that close enough to be okay, or do I need to find a charger that will equalize the batteries?
After the batteries charged, I took it out on relatively flat land. I got 17miles and just about 1:15 of runtime before calling it quits. I measured this with a running app on my phone. This was at night so I was also running the headlights. The stock battery indicator suggested that I had about half the battery power left. I assume that's a bit optimistic? I forgot to check the battery voltage before recharging.
The torque seemed okay to me, maybe a little weak, but not as weak as I was expecting based on the huge off road tires that are installed. Top speed was GPS measured to fluctuate between 15-16mph with a fresh charge. That dropped down to 12-13mph fairly quickly.
I've looked over the cart and I think the battery cables have been upgraded. Also, the speed controller is a Curtis 25864G09, which appears to not be stock? I can't tell what the motor is, it's aged looking so I would guess that its stock.
Does everything seem okay to you guys? Should I downsize the wheels/tires to gain back some efficiency, or do you think it's okay to run it as is. I am at the beach, and the land is really flat, except when parking at a beach access. I'd ultimately like to add more MPH, hopefully with a goal of 22-25mph. I haven't done enough research to figure out how feasible that is yet. The current torque output is fine with me, but I certainly wouldn't complain about more.
