- building their own lithium batteries (I'm finishing up #6 now)
- motor and controller swaps
- custom body modifications
- custom painting
- custom suspension upgrades
- performance upgrades
- stereo / speakers
- anything else cool

My current and biggest project to date is a CC DS, with a 57 T-Bird body, hand-built 202ah 86v Lifep04 battery, 600A Navitas AC motor/controller conversion, Disc brakes, wheelie bars, lots of custom metal work, etc.

I know other guys like me are out there and I thought it could be fun to meet, possibly share ideas and collaborate on projects and maybe even line up side by side for a 100 yds somewhere safe. šŸ¤” šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜

I haven't seen an organized Villages club for this stuff yet...

Thanks, hope to meet ya and keep the dirty side down!
I’d like to hire you if you can figure out a way to significantly soften up the ride on my 2014 Yamaha EFI. I absolutely love the cart, and can not justify the cost of upgrading to a new quiet-tech, but I would very much like to have the softer ride of the rear independent suspension on the newer Yamahas.
