AC Auto Carts
США
Добавлен 5 окт 2022
Typical Golf Cart upgrades and full builds for the DIYer at home.
When your buddy buys a house in your neighborhood, the next logical thing to do is buy a couple of golf carts to make the trips more enjoyable. What started out with a 1996 gas powered Yamaha nicknamed "old smoky". After customizing that cart, the cart bug bit me and now enjoy working on mine as well as other carts owned by friends at this point.. I have found a lot of useful videos on "You Tube University", so thought I would start to contribute for the DIY'er at home. I may not have all the correct answers but do know what worked for me over the last few years. Enjoy!
The "AC Auto" name is a throwback to the auto parts store my father owned in the 80s and 90's. The actual sign used in the store's window, currently hangs in my garage, as shown in some of our videos.

Did you used a relay switch to stop the Batterys from being Drained
@@larryboyd4139 I did not. I considered it but it’s just on the key. The voltage draw appears to be zero with the key off so I left it that way.

Is there a pin holding the shaft in
No just those snap rings on the outside. Nothing else internal on this.
JUST DO A WISH BONE IN THE REAR! MUCH EASIER SETUP
What brand and where to get just the led kit from other cart. But that’s awesome
I'll see if Edwin has the link. I know those strips came from an Ebay kit.
Thanks for this, man. I had to replace my rear leaf springs because there were NO bushings in them. I have this kit, and for some reason I had to hammer the inserts for the rear axle to make them fit in, mine did NOT slide in nicely.
My speaker turns off once I hit the gas pedal
@@manuelalvarez6987 gotta be a major drain. Cart is pulled all power for the acceleration? Drops the voltage so low it shuts down probably.
@@acautocarts9912 where do I start now is not even clicking over. I changed out the solenoid
@@manuelalvarez6987 sounds like the batteries are dead? You need to be sure this speaker is powered by the entire 48 or 36v pack to a 12v reducer. Unplug the speaker and charge your batteries for now to get rolling again.
Howdy, a Panhard bar would possible be an easier alternative to the four link if your axle sways side to side.
@@johnmalecha666 agree! Maybe just do that. So far it seems very stable. I forgot to mention it in the video.
Remarkable video, AC Auto Carts. I smashed the thumbs up icon on your upload. Sustain the really good work. Can't wait see more videos from you.
Looks Killer! Cant wait for more!
@@Fentertainment thanks Ryan!!!
I like the looks of it so far. Do you have plans for a different seat cover? Maybe something like an Indian blanket?
Yes! Something with a look like that. The white seat bottom is just out of the cart under the cover in the corner. The parts cart… I’d like a nice seat at least.
Carolina Squat Cart
Ha! Guess as a temporary look
You can make a bracket to get your light up without drilling holes. What do you paint your panels with what type of paint are you buying them with the color? I have green body panels and they're in good shape but they need painting. I could stay with green but it's a little bit on the rough side but there's no cracks.
@@remingtonsypro3160 hey thanks for the comment. The burgundy panels on this cart were part of a body kit. I didn’t paint these ones. We did paint the textured parts with duplicolor body and trim paint
@@acautocarts9912 Thanks for sharing and a text back. Getting ready to put a 4" lift on my clubcar with 22" put the lithium battery in it what a difference.. Thx! 🇺🇸✌️
Damn thats pretty cool
Grinder and Paint, make me the welder I aint.
Ha! No doubt. 😂
So overall, how did you like that EV? Would you recommend? If your rating it from one to 10. What would you rate it? Is there one that you would recommend thats better?
Thanks for asking. So obviously it is low miles, and we had it for less than 24 hours. But it did all the things, went up hills fine fully loaded ( 3 adults, 3 kids and a heavy cooler). The seats were very comfortable. People were not exactly being nice to them, and the roads are ROUGH. I was trying to be nice to it on the camp roads but i saw others going as fast as it would over the rough portions too, so you can imagine what it is dealing with. It was holding together well. I thought the battery did drop sorta fast for the speeds we were traveling but it never dropped past 3/4 full. Only squeaking was coming from the roof mounts. My red cart on the channel makes all kinds of noise compared to this, but that is an aftermarket body and seats. The boys thought it was a good cart too and we liked it. I can't really compare to a bunch of others, as the carts you see on my channel are the carts I have experience with. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Whats the jbl ?
Hey! I have never tested a JBL speaker on a cart.
Great looking cart . I say get the old grill wrapped to match the wheels , if possible
@@blackmacgyver9965 still have it! Not a bad idea. 😄

Top notch service once again from AC autocarts
@@mikemalizia8910 ha!
Where did you find those longer bolts for the mount? I've looked all over.
Believe i used some bolts out of a stainless assortment kit. Moslikely from Harbor Freight.
Thanks for the video. I have the same instructions and ive got it all installed but there is an extra relay with no instructions on where it goes. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey if you want to email us a photo of what you are looking at maybe i can help. is it possibly the stop light timer?
Hey man my boss have a 72v bad boy buggies just wanted to know how can I hook up another step down for the lights and radio that he have on it. The reason for that because he have 8 led lights and a bluetooth radio. And all that is over loading the step down keep blowing the lights fuse. Thanks for your videos
@@jlover0628 my initial thought is to get a 72v to 12v reducer and wire those in separate from what may have came with the cart. Some of those light kits have their own reducers built in I believe. Thanks for watching and writing. Hope that helps.
Would the Ehaho be suitable/durable enough for trail riding and such? I have a Honda Pioneer 700-2.
i would think so. if the motor isnt too loud it should be plenty
mine stay outside and the seat design holds water
@@palmislandgolfcart6279 yeah that seat does. Def recommend covering them if it’s gonna rain.
Hey bro thanks for the videos very helpful. Did you install the fuse box on the ezgo rxv elite or does it come with it? I need to install a usb on my 2024 but was hoping to just splice into some wiring behind the dash or use the accessory wire.
Hey thanks! glad they could help. I did add that fuse panel. We do have a video on that install. First we ran a voltage reducer and then a fuse pannel. You want to be sure you have a reducer if its an electric cart, if gas, could run an Inline fuse straght from your 12V battery but careful not to have a continuous draw. Maybe grab power from the Key switch, so when its off, its off. Thanks for Watching !
what a difference with the air shocks re-weld! much better.
Going to be a cool cart when it’s done! Keep practicing on the welding… I taught myself how to weld with a cheap gasless welder when I was 16 so it does get better with time
Thanks for the support Jeff!
Hey, I used a vinyl sticker for a charity golf tournament on some golf cart windows, and it won't come off! Do you have any advice for me? The course is furious, I need help!
Oh no! Have you tried some heat? Either put the cart in the direct sun so it loosens the glue some. Try that first. Be careful with solvents, you don’t want to eat the plastic. No razorblades except to maybe pick at an edge to get started peeling. Good luck!
Nice video. Thank you for showing these soundbars can hang too low. I was looking at these soundbars (battery one as my cart is Li ion and I don't want to mess with wiring) for my 2022 2+2 onward and ecoXgear has a bracket that would the fit back roof mounting bolts without drilling. The soundbar would literally hit the head of tall people riding in the back seats. My head is 3" from roof. It is a OEM roof and cart. I'm thinking these soundbars may be better with taller roofs?
Yeah it’s in the way at times for backseat passengers. For sure. I saw that bracket they make which may allow for some more flexibility. I didn’t want it in front either. Thank you for watching !
Got the Amazon speaker for my cart it definitely does the job for a golf cart especially if it’s battery powered. It’s definitely not the loudest/best speaker in the world but for the price I’m happy with it. I would probably go a different route if you have a gas cart or are planning to use it on a side by side. I did have to make a custom mount but I had already planned for that.
We would agree
seems like everyone is to much a chicken asses of copy rite strikes . when they do these test . Is the reason youtube videos have gone down hill so far , when it come to speaker reviews .
maybe so, but i didnt feel like the actual sound quality comes over the video in the first place, so tried to have some fun with it. thanks for checking it out anyway.
clearly you don't understand how RUclips works. Especially monetization of RUclips channels.

Hey, check out my build. Just a suggestion paint the roof white to match the body. Use the texture paint on everything on the cart that's black with texture. My cart looks brand new we did the build this month. ruclips.net/user/shortsmXl52IH5g2o?si=8N0VOBAu7rFZAoAC
I used the Rust-Oleum Stops Rust 24 oz. Turbo Spray System Gloss White Spray Paint. I did one side in 60 seconds. It sprays wide and the coverage is great. My cart is white I sprayed the roof white what a man or transformation after I did that.
What is the size of alumium-like material thickness square size.
rear mount had 2 major drawbacks. blocks rear visibility. sound blasting in ears while driving
Can’t argue with ya. Definitely don’t have it up very loud when riding.. next cart I would probably do a different set up more like a car stereo. It’s good for when parked and we need tunes. That’s 90% of my usage.
Very cool as always. Solid ending 😢
very nice tribute
ADHESION PROMOTER. Always on plastic.
i believe we did. But yes. I have used truck bed on roofs and didn't like the result. I have used it on some of the other plastics on other carts for sure. Might have to try Raptor though. Have not tried that yet.
Should have used truck bed coating.
I have been using RejeX®, it's a thin-film polymer coating designed to provide a high-release protective finish. It was originally design for use on fighter jets canopies to eliminate yellowing and promote a clear undistorted view. There are no abrasives in it. I hand buff often on my new Club Car Golf Carts and CanAm Spyder Windshields. Golf Cart windscreens are known for yellowing and scratching, Rejex keeps the windscreens looking like new(just keep people from fingering when visiting). I have a 9 year old F4 Windshield on my 2021 CanAM Spyder, I've used Rejex on it from new and it still looks like new. The F4 replaced the stock windshield. I've used Rejex and a buffer on a a number of my friends windshields/windscreens with remarkable results.
I'll have to check out some RejeX! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment too. :)
I have a similar set-up on my Onward from the factory, NO WHERE DOES IT TELL YOU TO LUBRICATE THOSE OPEN BALL JOINTS. After a season or two and setting during winter, those open ball joints will freeze -up and make the steering really hard to turn. I suggest you get a spray can of lubricant (not wd 40), you want a real lubricant and liberally spray those open ball joints, bushings and anything else that moves in the suspension and do it regularly.
What a wisser, I just saw that, those fricken rear springs were made in china. Can't an American Company like Club Car be original and buy USA SPRINGS? They changed the front body panels on the Precedent(which a looser) and changed the name Onward and marked it up $5,000. We still have a precedent, now it's a clone by the name of Onward. Club Car owes all of us Onward owners a major rebate.
