@@cartsmarttvWill do!
So I bought a conversion kit from a “buggies gone wild” vendor. Let’s just say…. Not happy. I rent carts and the conversion kit(unannounced) added a new power pedal that does not release the parking brake. If it was my own cart then ok I could get used to it. In the rental business renters end up driving the cart with the parking brake on because it doesn’t release when you push the power pedal. Dumb, I know. But nowhere in the literature does it show this. So now I have a second resistor cart that I do NOT want to install this kit. The first cart and kit I’ll just have to bite the bullet. The second kit I will try to sell. This kit you have looks so easy compared to the kit I installed. Wires not marked and some were absolutely different than the diagrams given. So I saw your number on a previous post and will be calling tomorrow. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Having done this with black and white diagrams that were basically useless and lots of wasted hours I am so impressed with what you turned out here. If anyone is considering doing this, take my word this tutorial is the bomb!!! Thank you!!
We thank you as well and you would like this system much much better than anything out there... Please call us for any thing you need or any questions you have.
I'm new to 5he cart life and this helped so much thank you
Thanks for watching!
Awesome content very informative and helpful.
Hopefully I can upgrade my 91 club car wit a power module with harness.
Awesome build
thanks so much for your video, it really helped me trace down and remedy an issue. I was changing the wiring on my ds which had been spliced and redone in a terrible way, and for some crazy reason it would not go, although I had everything correct.... except one little wire. thx again.
Glad it helped
Do you have a list of all the components, including the wiring, harnesses and where to buy them thank you

Converting a older 1980 Club-Car Caroche from the Coils to the Lithium Set up. Do you have a recommended product line or set up for the conversion. I will need everything you're doing and Batteries. I like your pre-Marked wires for installation. This is all new to me, but if I have the right set up to start with, then most times I can eventually get things set up. I have watched this video a couple of times and keep catching new things I missed in the past. You did a great job of basic explaining how to do the installation.
Yes, we have everything you will need to make your cart a 2023 running system.

I see the link shows a different motor. My understanding is that the 1980 Club Car Caroche the motor to axle shaft is opposite of most. With the Male end on the motor side. I clicked your link, but I'm concerned on if I would be ordering the right stuff. This is all new to me, so Converting this Old Coil unit to Solid State is a bit overwhelming, since I also want to convert the Battery System as well to Lithium Set up. My understanding is that my unit can handle the 48v instead of the 36v. But since we are only using for Fairly Flat or minor hill golfing, I'm not sure I would need the 48v. I would love to order to get something rolling but wasn't sure if I needed the Motor or not.
Being that your unit is a series cart you would need to change the motor however, the only way to do that is to change the rear end you have? We have changed them over with a newer used rear end in the past. If you're thinking about going Lithium now would be the time to change over as you'll have to get a different charger anyway. Feel free to give us a call about this or any questions you may have. 276.632.8905
Can I change all wire to 4 Gauge AWG 4ga Copper
Yes, We use 4 gauge on all of our upgrades.
Thank you. Very informative. Where can I purchase the parts and on my Club Car I have lights. Does the harness accommodate lights?
Thank you for watching. The links are listed for this kit in the description. Its best to give us a call for exactly what you need for your cart. 276.632.8905
@@cartsmarttv Be giving a call. Thank you.
Great video. I wish you could have gone over the specific wiring for the potentiometer. I see online that there are some with 2 wire.. some with 4 wires and some that have 3 wires and 2 microswitches. Also, how does the reverse button connect?
Finally… if my motor does not have a speed sensor (the motor is still good and I don’t want to upgrade yet)…. Can the potentiometer and controller still work? How would that wire up?
Thanks
The reason we didn't go over the wiring is that our kit comes with the pre-made harness to plug into the potentiometer that we offer in this kit. They're many different pot boxes out there that all pretty much do the same thing.
The F&R switch is also wired into the harness which goes to the controller.
You can use your stock motor and don't have to use the speed sensor wiring however, you're kinda defeating the whole purpose of the upgrade as you will end up with the same performance of your cart...ie, speed, torque etc...
Feel free to give us a call and to go over what/why you're considering upgrading your cart? We can help. 276.632.8905
This opens up a TON of questions for me. I recently acquired a 1960's Cushman Deluxe Golfster cart and I'm considering changing it from resistor to solid state as I restore it. The problem is I'm not sure where to start and how many nickels I'll have to save.
Most all carts are do-able. The most is about $2500 but, most are less than that.
Good Video
Awesome video - thanks so much! My buddy has a situation where the car works in reverse but not in forward - in FWD you hear the solenoid picking up but it wont go ... any ideas? I'm heading over this afternoon to help him. THANKS !!!!!!
Could be a few things. Best to give us a call when you're next to cart. Have a volt meter. 276.632.8905
@@cartsmarttv What motor did you change to 36 volt
@@djaaron4157 Most all motors will handle both 36/48 volts. We use D&D motors with most of our kits.
I've got 1982 DS Electric Club Car that the resister coils have gone bad. They are not available and the ETA is not known. If your conversion kit will work in my cart, I would like some info to possible convert it to solid state, and solve the problem. Will your kit work in mine, and what is the cost?
Hello Ric it would definitely work in your cart. It will certainly solve the issues you are having with the resistors and also enhance the performance of your cart. Please feel free to give us a call at 276.632.8905 and we will help you any way we can.... Thank you
Thanks, I will be in touch soon!
I have a 91 EzGo Marathon - Series and Resistor Coil - I want to switch over to new motor and controller - What can I get that would be like this with the wire harneness and all? It seems if I am replacing all of it, I could almost use any kit with a wiring harness and just make it work? Only questions was the F\R switch, do I need an HD one? and for the throttle I could rig up something to make it function if a new one is not avail for my old ass Marathon - your thoughts? Want max torque, hilly here and have a back seat on it and haul stuff.
Thank you!
Sorry for the delay, We can help with your Marathon, they can still be great carts with this upgrade. Feel free to give us a call and we can go over some options. 276.632.8905
Do you guys have a website where these kits will be available or a way to sign up for notice of when they’re available? Have an 82 ds I want to convert.
Yes we have a website, Mygolfcartshop.com and once we get product in we will announce it on the channel as well.
I have an older taylor dunn resistor b248 truck any ideas what I can use to convert it to modern technology
It may be doable. Send us pictures of what you have to contact@ecartparts.com
I have a 91 36v what would it cost to convert mine
Give us a call and we can go over a few things to give you a cost. 276.632.8905
Great video. Quick question. Around 14:30, The pb6 potbox throttle has the ball stud on the end hole of the arm. I don't have enough throw from the accelerator pedal to move the potbox arm from stop to stop. What's the detail on this? Did you move the ball higher on the potbox arm? Or what?
It does matter for wide open throttle. We sometimes have to adjust it depending on the cart.
I need that v glide and resistors would you sell and ship
Sorry, they were all burnt up.
Where do the two wires labeled coil wire connect too ?
They should go to your solenoid, Not sure why they label it coil?
How do you know if I have a resistor
You should be able to tell by looking to see if you have a "coil like wire" with the battery cable hooked to it.
Do you happen to have the part number for the harness wires
Links are in the description - www.ecartparts.com/club-car-series-resistor-coils-to-regen-controller-conversion-kit
Any idea when the kit would be available and will it ship to Canada and what would come in the kit
The kit is available now. The only thing that isn't available are the motors at this time. We can ship to Canada, but it will require a quote. Email us and we can get started!
Would this work for a 86 club cart ds with the 5 solenoids? If so how much fab work would I have to do?
HI, yes this would work for your cart and its not much at all you basically follow what Ive done in the video except maybe the potbox you may have to move it back just a touch but other than that it should be pretty easy to install.
Does this conversion with stock motor gain any extra horesepower or speed?
No, None at all. Reason most also change to a Regen Motor.
Is the new motor a 36v or a 48v? Also, where do you get your wiring harness?
Hi yes the new motor is 36/48v compatible and the harness comes in the conversion kit.
Excellent video but I have a 1994 Yamaha g2 that I would want to do like this. Is there a kit you offer for it?
This kit says Club Car, but works for all solid state conversions. You can view it here to know the questions we'll need answered, but this is a call to order kit only:
www.ecartparts.com/club-car-series-resistor-coils-to-regen-controller-conversion-kit
@@cartsmarttv thank you very much sir
What is the mode switch for
It works as a speed mode. You can't always tell it but, one is regular mode and other is high speed mode.
once this conversion is complete can lithium batteries be used in the cart?
Hi John yes they certainly can sir. The controller doesn't care how or where the voltage comes from as long as its the proper voltage.
I’m picking up an 88 just like this one and want to do this exact thing but with the faster motor.. do you have a kit where I can buy it all at once? Any idea on price?
Hi, We are waiting for our kits to come in. We will notify you once they come in.
Following: Waiting for kits.
Will solid state controllers work with existing motors?
Only if you have a solid state system now, if you have a resistor type set up it will not work with those motors.
@@cartsmarttv do you know if they make solid state style motors with the same mounting characteristics as the resistor type? I believe it’s a Yamaha g10 or g20
@levigreen9562 yes they do. Just need to know your G series?
Are the kits available yet? Also do the kits come with the motor and controller, solenoid?
www.ecartparts.com/club-car-series-resistor-coils-to-regen-controller-conversion-kit
We do have them. You can do it in parts/steps. Here is a link > www.ecartparts.com/motorcontroller-combos Feel free to give us a call about what you want to get out of your cart? 276.632.8905
I have an 83 club car do I have to change motor for the cart
You don't have to but you'll end up with what you have now. What is the reason you are thinking of upgrading?
@@cartsmarttv I have a similar cart and looking to do the same upgrade. Right now my cart has a max range of 10-12 miles, will this help with range? And to switch from v-glide and resistor to solid state all I need is to put in a potentiometer and controller?
Is there any product code for this entire package.
www.ecartparts.com and the go to any brand cart and then select motor/controller packages and it the very first listing, follow instructions then your all set.
who sells this conversion kit?
thanks Allan

Hi, We are waiting for our kits to come in. We will notify you once they come in.
Club car electric 03 stop work just click reverse or fworad want
Sounds like the high amp side of controller has gone bad.
At $2500.00, I'll pass.
Thanks for watching. It's not a cheap process and not for everybody but, sometimes people get a good deal on an older cart and can put in 2023 technology in one vs paying 13k for a new.
@@cartsmarttv True, but there has to be a cheaper way to convert an electric motored cart with resistors into one that runs without resistors.and without paying for the solid-state kit. If I knew more about the exact things the kid does, maybe I'd change my tune, but there just has to be a way to eliminate resistors and still have a cart that runs on batteries, minus the kit. .
Wow, I have a Cushman from the 60's I just put lithium batteries in. I want to ask...why convert to solid state?
