I'm also doing this to my electric carts. I've swapped the motor and controller in my 2019 ClubCar Onward lifted to a SilverWolf A/C motor and controller along with a Dakota lithium 48v battery.
I'm very interested in building my own battery for a future swap. The scary part about how these lithium batteries work is how they give little to no warning before the low voltage cutoff leaves you dead on the road. I have a 48v server rack battery that I'm considering installing along with the Dakota as an emergency backup to get you back home or to the next electrical outlet.
I would be interested in joining a club if we can get one set up.

- 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. 🤔 😎😁
I haven't seen an organized Villages club for this stuff yet...
Thanks, hope to meet ya and keep the dirty side down!
