420cc Gas vs Stock Electric Golf Cart

[@byrysh]

You should really put the flywheel back on and use electric start.

[@Khaynizzle7]

It'd be cool if they could find an lsd too

[@Wik3dNuTS4k]

Why didnt you do what you did with the dragster where you put the flywheel in the freezer and put that gear on it so it could keep the electric start?

[@trickyricky12147]

[@zakattack721]

You should get an electric motor and controller upgrade on the new golf cart! Would smoke the 420.

[@LoneRevD]

Agree... It'd be like the 420 was still out 420'ing...

[@jasonleedham5678]

Beat me to it, electric can still be hotrodded, I would start with a change in ratio, the electric cart is probably kept slow n steady on purpose, if it has lots of low down torque, then it could turn a higher gear!

[@xxtrengt8871]

Definitely needs a 392 KW tesla motor... would be just a bit faster :) No seriously a 5 to 10 KW motor would be enouth but good lithium batteries are pretty expensive. The battery for my electric CT70 (converted) costs me 800 bucks ( 72V 35Ah)

Can’t wait to show this to my Grandpa over summer! We’ve been talking about maybe getting a golf kart because he’s getting to old for his own Cub Cadet and was thinking of one but Club Cars are too expensive and I’ve been wanting to customize it and here is my main/favorite idea: A Test Track Style Golf Cart And if you don’t know what Test Track is, It’s a high speed thrill ride in EPCOT at the Walt Disney World Resort And Club Cars have the perfect body style for it.

[@mothballzz4063]

[@mikefalcone9157]

Whats up guys!! I would love to see you guys try to supercharge the cart using one of those smog pumps you mentioned in one of your older videos. I can tell you i have NOT seen anyone do that before and actually see it perform. Im thinking maybe you could add a sprocket to the pump and maybe run it off the drive chain, that way you could possibly change the amount of "boost" with the cam upgrade im thinking it would really wake up that 420. Also, it would be awesome to see some mods to the electric cart, try wiring a couple batts in series to up the voltage the motor can handle it. Not sure about the controller if it's and old mechanical or solid state controller, but i bet an old mechanical speed controller with some upgraded resistors xould handle the load OR more batteries!!! I know that would make alot of people happy to see!! Keep up the good work dudes!

[@KlockworXMusic]

@@VasilyYt A 10 second or better turbo civic isn't a reliable daily driver. And who said anything about Tesla? There are people running 7 second electric converted vehicles that don't have a Tesla part on them. To put it into perspective, for about $10k you can get an electric drivetrain that puts out over 600 hp and well over 1000 lb ft of torque. Factor another $10k for batteries, and slot it into whatever cheap or expensive 4 wheeled shitbox your heart desires to be electric and congrats, you have an electric vehicle you can daily drive or take to the drag strip and put your foot down. Electric is not that expensive.

Oh man I would *love* an electric monster cart. Get a couple LiPoly packs in there (mind the fire risk) and a big brushless motor... would be epic. Though I suppose GoPowerSports wouldn't really be able to help out - not their wheelhouse.

[@rvabosozoku9019]

Tesla motors on a golf cart needs to happen at some point

[@cardosa9405]

Yessssss

[@drewarthur2169]

Battery packs for Tesla motors are heavier than most golf carts

[@scottallen3776]

Depending on the model of golf cart, you can get a plug that increases the top speed of electric golf carts. Might want to look into that and re compare.

[@th3d3wd3r]

Two things you can try with the electric golf cart. 1) Shunt mod it. This will allow more amps through aka more torque. Although it might burst the mosfets in the controller. But it's a free torque boost if you don't go nuts. 2) Overvolt. If you open the controller to shunt mod it, have a look at the capacitor voltages (written on the side of the caps) and find out what mosfets it uses, search for their datasheet. If it's specced for a higher voltage too, throw in a couple more batteries in series ;)

[@Acoustic_Theory]

With the 420 golf cart, you're already starting to see that the weak link is the chain between the torque converter output and the transmission input, because even though the ratios are the same, the torque loads are huge on the sprockets and the chain. Over time you'll just round over the teeth on those sprockets. Please look into maxing out the size of the sprockets, keeping them the same size otherwise, so they don't wear out too quickly and you can keep enjoying the 420 golf cart.

[@freddylaymon6629]

I have an idea for the gas golf kart. In our town golf karts are legal also and people are putting tall skinny trailer tires on them for a higher top speed.

[@esqueue]

The electric kart can be made as faster or much faster but it will cost quite a bit more. Lithium Ion batteries in a higher voltage configuration along with a better less limiting controller and possibly a better motor would make it a beast. You could probably safely use it's current motor and battery with a new controller to make it much faster.

[@jasonpetrich4141]

So... the big question is are you guys going to electric swap it with a massive power source, or are you going to 670 swap this one and make a real fast wheelie ,drag cart,like the hyabusa swapped one one the net?? Beating hellcats.???

[@bobmarley5551]

Re tighten the bolts on the muffle once the motor warms it up. Heat expands the metal on the flanges and makes the bolts shake loose.

[@EdTheMole]

Still needs bigger/higher tires and wheels even if you have to use adapters to get the width you need for clearance. Oh and a convertible top at your convenience.

[@jamesduffy9756]

Usually those electric carts call for I think six six volt batteries but if you put in three 12 volt batteries with the highest cranking amps possible you can actually make these cars go faster and have more power than if you had in the stock 6 6 volt batteries just a trick I learned when I was growing up in the deserts of Las Vegas mobbing around in the sand with my electric golf carts
