I am about to be in the market for my second golf cart, and I am wanting to make sure I get the best one for my dollar and one that is going to be the least expensive to upgrade and build so I am asking owners of various models about theirs.. What is your top speed in low gear and in high gear(on flat asphalt). With the programable controller, does the speed drop off an excessive ammount in high gear going up a hill (say 20 degree incline) and how much difference is high gear and low gear on the batteries?

Get a club car, they ride better and do a motor controller upgrade from d&d, get top of the line batteries and keep them topped of with water.....doesn't matter between 36 and 48, little difference between the two and I've had both with the upgrades mentioned . Good luck

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Preacher, you cant beat that price.. I had my last cart stuck a couple of times, and if I would have thought about cutting a sapling down for a "pedal pusher", I probably could have got it unstuck alot easier..
Hunter, I think I am going to go with a 48 volt, just due to the fact that they are a little cheaper on the upgrades to get the performance I will be looking for. And, Ive been looking at the RXV (I believe that is the model) from EZGO because they use 12 volt batteries vs 6 volt and it leaves more room under the seat for another 12 volt to run all of the accessories on. With eight six volt batteries, I would imagine that there isnt much room for another battery so then you have to spend the extra money to get the 48/12 volt converter..

For the hassle and extra cost to hook an extra charger up to your accessory battery, it's just as easy to get the converter. One plug and you're done.

(6) 8 volts would last longer Agreed. Stay away from the 12 volt batteries.
