I build custom carts for a living, and that price point seems reasonable for what I see. That charger is a C4825 Evolution charger. I've installed many. It's a great charger. Please do more videos of this cart. And a note, your cart has front and rear disc brakes, which is a huge upgrade on a cart. Majority are drum rears. That windshield is a cheap knock off. Purchase a real DOT windshield with the proper thickness and it will reduce the rattling by a ton. Cheers!!
Thanks for all of that info! Do you have a recommendation on a better windshield? This one does like to rattle. I’ll keep the videos coming on it. We did one one making mock scrapes recently where it was the star of the show. Thanks for watching!
@@Gokywildcats11 I have never built a 4x4 yet.. It's not a customer demand for sure. Yes I've done and worked on the gas motors and predator. They definitely increase speed and torque. It's not crazy difficult. Just need fabrication on some brackets and small stuff.
Just purchased one in clinton il. They had on sale for 7500 and gave me 10 percent more off for applying for there card. 6750. Great price. In last two days we put 43 miles on it and are down to 27 percent on charge. Love it so far.
I invested in a 1900 Honda gas generator that I keep in the back of our electric for emergencies. And it has saved us on a few occassions! If the electric dies out, fire up the generator for 15 minutes and you have enough juice to get back home! Nice cart/buggy!!
I have always wanted an electric cart with a solar panel top. They have those flexible panels now, or maybe premade tops now. A little generator would work too. I love it.
I bought one today. Tractor supply in my area is awesome. They gave me a military discount on this. I sure hope parts are available. Still researching.
HECK YEAH!!! Congratulations man! If you feel comfortable send a pic to me with you on that new ride! Can't wait to hear what you think of it. I think it is a heck of a machine!
@@JoeTheFarmer yeah keep us updated on this cart. Tractor supply had some issues with some of the atv and side by sides they sold. Like to hear some positive news about this
Sounds great! I haven’t been able to find one yet at any of the Tractor Supply stores locally in Alabama. I’ve been wondering when they will be more available.
We just bought this same cart. We feel just like you about it. I put 2 self tapping screws in the windshield to firmly attach it to the frame and got rid of a lot of the rattle. That is our only complaint. Great value.
Thanks for sharing! It’s a great cart for sure. We are purposely being tough on it and it’s taking what I can give it. Will have more videos up soon putting it to work. Thanks for watching!
Not sure if you meant me; but we are in Middle Tennessee. I would ask your store manager to get one for a demo. This is a brand new unit so may take a little time to get out there.
Down in the southern states, a lot of golf carts are the only way to get around. Also at those huge tractor, farming, gatherings meets on mile after mile of display items, these carts are the only way to go. Just getting your mail far out at the end of the driveway would make you want on of these. Nice video of a very nice RACKA Golf Cart.
Thanks for watching brother. This thing is sharp man. I have an ev side by side but this machine just has so much pep. Also, quiet as a mouse. It’s definitely going to the stand this season!
I have a sized by side with an aftermarket windshield that rattled a bit. I put a couple of pieces of adhesive foam weatherstripping that you can get in different widths at a hardware store between the windshield and frame. I doesn’t scratch the windshield and stops the noise. Also that golf club rack on the rear looks like it would be a great rifle support for shooting or hunting with a bit of padding on it to protect the finish of your guns.
I was just checking these out at Tractor Supply yesterday. Need something for my country roads farm get-around purposes. I need to be able to bring my two labs. They have one with a little truck bed on the back.
It really is a VERY nice cart. And for the price and looks hard to beat. Been very durable so far on the farm. Haven’t broken anything yet! Lol. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It looks like a lot of value depending on part’s availability. If you look at the resale of carts , older gas carts sell for more then a newer model year electric cart. The cost of replacing batteries and larger communities needing more distance leaves a lot of battery carts being sold for gas. Batteries never die at the right time. I load four people on my Yamaha UMAX with plenty of power and it is a lot more between a golf cart and a side by side.
All good points. The replacement batteries have gotten less expensive and even a lithium upgrade is about $2k now so thats not too bad. But so far been a solid machine, and it is probably not made for what we do with it! Will keep you posted.
I bought an icon IL 40 with Lithuim batteries and love it. I cruise the hood and use mine to pull my lawn cart. it was perfect and I saved 10 grand on a side by side. It’s road legal ( under 25 mph) and fits my needs.
That is EXACTLY what I am hoping this video series will bring to the table. Some folks absolutely need a stout side by side. But the golf cart is absolutely a contender for most and for $8k you can buy two or three of them for the price of 1 side by side. I’ll have a cool video out soon comparing gas/ev/diesel and an atv. Should be fun! Thanks for sharing and watching!
As a guy that would use this for semi-all terrain use the only thing I saw that jumped out at me was the double USB ports that were surface up mounted low on the body and near the sides...how will those perform after a drenching rain when someone accidently left the plugs out? Also as others have mentioned...the test dummies never got it off the blacktop or they would have added edging to prevent the rattling...Overall seems impressive!
The usb’s are plugged pretty tight; but right. A solid rain in there and then what. I have fixed a lot of the rattles and will keep tweaking it but no engine noise is a big deal. The camera also picks up the rattles far worse than they sound in person; but fair is fair. It rattles on a rough and bumpy farm. Regardless, built very well and I have seen far worse for twice the price. Thanks for watching my friend!
Good review. Tough to find info about these here in Florida. If you get a chance on the next video, raise the seat so we can see the batteries. I didn’t catch the quantity or if they were AGM or Lead Acid. I doubt they were lithium. I think the hill climb would be dramatically better if they were.
That's a nice looking cart! We've been hunting out of a golf cart for years on our property. They're great! My only issue is the kids taking it out when it isn't charged enough and getting stranded on the back side of the property. 😂
looks ok for the price point, major con is that metal WILL rust as well as the cheap hardware? it would be worth it for the owner to slowly switch all hardware to s/s..... time will tell for issues?? hopefully manf sticks around for warranty issues??
TS golf carts are $10k here. So many people worrying about battery carts are just funny. I have had gas and electric carts, and electric is by far the best option. Its just as easy to charge overnight as it is to remember to put gas in your gas cart. The batteries will last 5 years and cost about $700 t9 replace. Tge negative to conparing this to a gas UTV is more about power. I use my UTV to pull trailers, carry big loads of firewood, and assorted other farm tasks. The electric cart doesn't compare for that scenario.
That sounds about like me. I understand the reluctance to adopt electric. But they have come a long way. Racka wanted us to use it on a large property and we have! Haven’t been stranded yet.
Hey! Too big for the back of a pickup. Its full size for sure. Wouldn’t have an issue climbing a ramp at all! Check out recent side by side comparison video and you’ll see it going up a steep hill!
A neighbor drove up in one of these last week - I was gobsmacked with her golf cart! I have been looking for it online but didn’t know the name. I was searching for Badass Golfcart and Big Sexy Golf Cart 😂. Then the RUclips Algorithm sent me this video. Thank you for posting!
🤣🤣🤣. That algorithm seems to know its business! They are very sharp looking carts and a lot of fun to drive. We have more videos with it making appearances so check those out if you like! Thanks for watching!
That is a cool golf cart, but im the kind of person who would rather find an old golf cart at scrap for $200 then put a 212cc in it for $200 and have a great, fast golf cart for $400!
Totally get that brother. Those of us with the skills can do it; but most people want a nice machine for a good value. Been solid so far. Appreciate you watching!
We have had our Racka for 6 weeks now. Very nice cart and super quiet. How do you disconnect the reverse switch and which inside front basket did you purchase?
Is there a Joe The Farmer discount. Got to love this weather. That is what you meant when you said a golf cart would suit me better. 😂 Always something in the works that's why I enjoy watching your channel.
Hi Joe, The Racka looks like a nice golf cart or LSV (low Speed Vehicle) as they are called. Are you familiar with Evolution? We bought a 2024 Evolution D5 Ranger 2+2, (backseats face the rear) street legal LSV last March. Turned over 400 miles today. It has a 48 volt 110AH lithium battery with built in charger, a 6.3 kw motor with automatic EM parking brake, will do 26mph according to the speedometer and my phone's GPS, 4-wheel disc brakes, 3-point seat belts, 14-inch wheels, radial tires, mud guards, LED running lights, high and low LED headlights, blinkers in front and rear and both side mirrors, tilt steering, a horn, 2 lockable glove boxes plus another dash storage area, storage under the rear seat, 9" color display, Bluetooth, USB charging, FM, and can play from a jump drive and a sound bar that has various colors. I recorded patriotic music and played it (loud) in a July 4th parade on Thursday. It was $11,000 but the price dropped in March to $8,600. We got the one with smooth tires for street use but it is available, lifted with knobby tires. I'm sure the off road model would fit you quite well. Thanks.
I am around golf carts all the time we have them around our campground. The name brand units are getting expensive like $10 to 14K, I think $8K is too expensive for a battery operated gocart, but nonetheless used carts are fetching $4,5,6K its really ridiculous to spend that kind of money on something so rudimentary. Just my thoughts items are just becoming unaffordable buying something like this requires a person to consider the benefits before laying down $8K.
I think those are all fair points my friend. Things are getting crazy. But competitively speaking this cart is really nice and half the price of most side by sides. Thanks for watching!
I totally agree. I think that what people are willing to pay for a toy car makes no sense when one can buy a decent used vehicle that is way more comfortable, safe and capable for less money.
Depending on elevation be sure to check on how the machine will work in higher altitudes. I have heard of some folks on tall mountains needing to make adjustments to their machine. If not that high, then no big deal.
@@JoeTheFarmer we have a neighbor that can make it with his side by side but his machine is the equivalent to a 4 door. We need a side by side (2 seater) with a dump bed and a 4X4. We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter.
Its time to bring out the 15-foot Titan Batwing. Like Golf Cart ; I didn't know that you played golf.... Hope your going well! We get some cooler weather I'm going to start hunting got a trip to Ohio late October!! Are y'all having any problems or new regulation in this CWD?
Don’t really play golf buddy; but I’ll drive a golf cart! Love this weather man. So nice! No real issues on cwd for us yet but sure it’s coming. Good luck out there!
I was told the southeast Tractor Supply stores will not get the Racka carts. They will all stay with the Massimo carts through 2024. Have you heard what stores will carry theses?
So, honest question. What service would an electric golf cart need that I cannot do? I have two electric machines on the farm and the only thing that they will need is batteries in the future. Yes grease, diff fluid change, etc. But that’s all super easy. Am I missing something?
We bought one last month. Our only concern is the seats are not heavy duty so they won't last. Also, when seat is flipped down it rubbed the bar and would have eventually caused a hole ☹️.
Great video, the cart looks great. I have both a golf cart, 4-wheelers and a Polaris Ranger and the cart gets way more use. I was/am concerned about the quality of this assuming it is chinese made. My Ezgo is still great after 20 years, will this do the same, time will tell, please keep us posted? So I started researching and interesting enough I can't even find this cart anywhere even at TSC. So how hard would it be to get parts and service? I am just reluctant to get an off brand for something that should last a long time and will need service and parts down the road. Keep the great content coming, Good luck
Hey! You sound like me. Plenty of options but the cart seems to be the go to for quick trips. And you are right, the jury is out on how it will stand up over the years. Only time will tell. We plan to be tough on it, and will share the honest results. Appreciate you watching!
iF YOU PUT A 12v 100 WATT SOLAR PANEL ON THE ROOF OF THE CART AND INSTALL A 30 OR 40 AMP MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLER IT WILL KEEP YOUR BATTERIES CHARGED WHEN YOU ARE OUT AN ABOUT.
Joe, this rider seems to be nice. One thing that I've never understood is why don't they have wipers. What, you're suppose to not operate it in the rain? That's crazy.
I was actually at my local Tractor Supply today picking up a new lawn mower battery. They had a couple of these sitting outside that caught my eye. Nice looking cart, I could see the benefit of having it on a farm, in a rural setting, etc. But, these were priced at $10,000. Sorry, IMO, that's just too expensive. I know the market is what it is, I'm just glad I don't need one and have to be tempted to purchase it or something like it.
They have a $10k cart; but this one is the $8k cart. They are all nice looking but not sure what more one gets for the extra $2k. This one seems to have everything but the speakers.
In my town Raca does cell this at tractor supply but it is two grand more with a turn signal kit horn and a built in sound system and radio on the golf cart and They make a sxs with all the same features with a dump bed and wider with 4x4 for 10 grand windshield and all with half doors with a soun system with a central display that I’m pretty sure has navigation I half to double check that. They’re real competitive in price we will see how reliable they are.
Wait; so you have a Racka cart there and it is $10k? Mine has turn signals and a horn but doesn't have a sound system or radio. I'd love to see a picture of it if so... What store is it?
Boy I loved to get a 6 or 8 seater I know I would love e gold cart but it’s probaly very very illegal in the Portland Oregon area where I live top speed 25 mph damn to bad it isn’t higher
@@JoeTheFarmer I mean my area it’s to big so to be regrister it would have to go 30 35 maybe even 40 for me just to go to the movie and I want to go somewhere needing the highway it wouldn’t work anyways
Subscribed! Thank you for the great video coverage. I cannot seem to find that same cart for sale? I would buy one just like this one, 4 wheel Disc brakes, turn signals & 25 MPH. Just not seeing any RACKA's out there to match same product???
Hey! It's a nice cart, but a new one is coming out shortly that you may want to look at. These are sold is select Tractor Supply stores and it is nearly identical to the Coleman carts. Same manufacturer. Hope that helps!
@@JoeTheFarmer, thank you sir! Due to lack of finding that cart, I found & bought the 2024 Revolution D5 Ranger and so far I’m very happy with it. Thanks for reaching out though!👍🏼
My grandparents just got this golf cart and it's all fine and great. We fixed all the sweeking noises but we cannot figure out how the adjust the headlights for the life of me. It's pointed so up it blinds everyone on the road and the light bar was pointed downward which we fixed. If anyone knows how to fix it, please do. The owners manual doesn't mention any adjustments to the headlight housing.
Glad you all like it! Not sure how or if the headlights can be adjusted but yes, the light bar was simple. Appreciate you watching! I’ll have a 4 mo review out on it this week so hope you will come back. 👍🏼👊🏼
I just bought one of these and I Love it! One question.....do you know what a 2E error code is and what causes it. I have gotten that code a few times and then the golf cart stops. I have to turn it off and on again to get it to go.
Hey Roy! Congrats man! I’m not sure what that means. Haven’t seen it. Does it reference that in the manual? Wonder if it is a seat belt thing? Keep us posted!
@@JoeTheFarmer Thanks for answering so quickly! I looked it up in the manual and a 2E code is "Drive 7 output overcurrent". I don't know what would cause it.
Totally fair; but honest question would be what will go wrong with an electric cart? Batteries or motor are a possibility or the led display; but they are so simple. I would say look into a service center close to you that honors the warranty before purchasing and that should ease the concern. Thanks for watching John!
Love the review, but can’t find this cart or any Racka brand on the Tractor Supply website. Any help? Do you have a link for this vehicle at Tractor Supply?
No link buddy but it will be rolling out. Limited stores have it now but more will get it. Others have asked their store manager to get one and its gotten there pretty fast. Appreciate you watching my friend!
I think you can do with it whatever you like. Charges pretty fast; as for sand and a winch it is not 4wd but within reason it is very capable on the farm so should translate to the beach.
@@JoeTheFarmer I checked and all I see is a connector for the rear lights. I have the newer model where the charger is built in. I'm not sure if you have the same model or not.
@daviddavis9025 mine is the first gen, but have said the same to others and they said it worked. Put some ear plugs in, throw it in reverse and unplug it. If the beeping stops you got it! Lol.
Yes!!! It is tucked under the rear drivers side tire. Next to the electric motor. I am SO glad it’s disconnected now! Lol. Let me know if you have any trouble on it.
I have a old gas cart. It uses all most no gas. shuts off on its own every time you stop. So my question is how much $ to keep it fully charged ready to go every day?
Probably not much to be honest. I have used it all day and haven’t been below 70%. If fully depleted it would prob add up. I am going to do a generator test to see how long it takes to charge it with a smaller inverter genny. I am no Bill Nye the science guy, just a dude that geeks out on cool gear.
Great question, I looked for that first thing. It does not. There are after market hitch options out there and zi don’t doubt it could pull a cart behind it. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. Thanks for watching!
When will this be available at TSC, I watched this and then went there. The Sales people had no clue how I could buy one. TSC web site does not show it available.
They are adding new stores but if you ask the manager to order one they will send it to your store. They are usually in store only. What is your local TSC?

Can that would be the perfect deer hunting machine. 4wd golf cart. Lmao expensive deer

Thanks for watching! Appreciate you coming along. No land/farm or equipment required. 👍🏼👊🏼
Would love a video on the battery maintenance.
I believe they are sealed, no maintenance
Great Video Joe! I can’t wait until our new Tractor Supply opens so I can check one out. It’s still surreal that we are getting one in my hometown.
That’s exciting! I went to one yesterday and there was a bunch of equipment. Glad to see the supply chain problems are fixed!
I can't find this on the tractor supply website
@ace9135 not on the website. In stores only for now
Specs meet the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) requirements exactly. Makes it street legal in most states. Looks great.

Have had my Racka for month and I love it. I took my golf rack off and lost my bed…want have others used to keep bed up!
That’s awesome! Where do you use it primarily? Neighborhood?
Taking corn to my stands
Awesome!!!
Just purchased one, we live in a small rural town and is going to be great to not have to use our gas vehicles.
Congratulations! Been fun to ride for sure.
That's cute. It would be fun to knock around in. Kids will love it.
The adults love it too!
That's a nice looking cart! We've been hunting out of a golf cart for years on our property. They're great! My only issue is the kids taking it out when it isn't charged enough and getting stranded on the back side of the property. 😂
🤣🤣🤣. I definitely see my kids doing that to me VERY soon. Do you park close to the stand and walk in or right to the stand?
@@JoeTheFarmer we're able to drive right up under most of our stands, a few we have to park close by and walk to.
@oldmanoldtruck That’s awesome!
@oldmanoldtruck I have another “farm tool” up my sleeve that I can’t wait to show you all. Will DEFINITELY help with that. 😉
I’m interested to see how the batteries do in the winter cold. The price is right and it looks great. I hope it handles the cold.
So far so good and it got COLD this winter. Time will tell of course, but been solid so far!
That looks like so much fun and I love how quiet it is. The fold down rear seat is a plus! You could always put solar panels on the roof. ;-)
Now there’s an idea!!! Endless power
No, than you have to install a charge controller and inverter.
Dang it. Was fun while it lasted. Lol
Can buy an all in one EcoFlow electric generator and their solar panels.
Wow, what a nice vehicle, thank you for sharing
Thanks Mike!
Hi, I have the same one. It is awesome.

TS golf carts are $10k here.
So many people worrying about battery carts are just funny. I have had gas and electric carts, and electric is by far the best option. Its just as easy to charge overnight as it is to remember to put gas in your gas cart. The batteries will last 5 years and cost about $700 t9 replace.
Tge negative to conparing this to a gas UTV is more about power. I use my UTV to pull trailers, carry big loads of firewood, and assorted other farm tasks. The electric cart doesn't compare for that scenario.
That sounds about like me. I understand the reluctance to adopt electric. But they have come a long way. Racka wanted us to use it on a large property and we have! Haven’t been stranded yet.
It looks pretty good. If it had a low range it would be tempting. Will it climb ramps to put it in the back of a pickup?
Hey! Too big for the back of a pickup. Its full size for sure. Wouldn’t have an issue climbing a ramp at all! Check out recent side by side comparison video and you’ll see it going up a steep hill!
Joe I have a golf cart here on my farm and I hardy drive my UTV.
It’s amazing how comfortable and simple it is. Nice to have the quiet. I’ll do a video on accessories and fixing the roof rattle
Many years ago I hunted on a 48volt lifted club cart... and I rode up so close to deer you could see the surprise in their eyes 😆
I know exactly what you mean! Its like they are like “where did YOU come?!?” Lol. Thanks for watching!
Looks like and interesting outfit with some nice features but would have loved to see it with LiFePo4 batteries instead of lead acid.
Would be nice for sure; but would prob be another $1,500. They really wanted to keep it affordable
Just seen another video on TAO, same cart. Looks good.
Been super impressed
Oh shit bars. Picking up what you’re puttin down.
🤣. Nailed it.
A neighbor drove up in one of these last week - I was gobsmacked with her golf cart! I have been looking for it online but didn’t know the name. I was searching for Badass Golfcart and Big Sexy Golf Cart 😂. Then the RUclips Algorithm sent me this video. Thank you for posting!
🤣🤣🤣. That algorithm seems to know its business! They are very sharp looking carts and a lot of fun to drive. We have more videos with it making appearances so check those out if you like! Thanks for watching!
40 mile range is excellent....any further travel needs, get in the car
💯 agree! And quiet on the way to the 🦌 stand!
That is a cool golf cart, but im the kind of person who would rather find an old golf cart at scrap for $200 then put a 212cc in it for $200 and have a great, fast golf cart for $400!
Totally get that brother. Those of us with the skills can do it; but most people want a nice machine for a good value. Been solid so far. Appreciate you watching!
Just installed a 420 Predator in my 91 HGG1 today. Really took a few days. $400
Man nice vid! I had no idea these were out there. Im getting one for the same reason you got it.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the kind words. They are limited right now but man it is nice! Been trying to break it but can’t. Lol!
Joe, hope all is well! That is one very nice golf cart, can’t wait to see it decked out for hunting
Whats up Joe!!! Hope all is well brother. Thanks for watching. Yeah; it’s pretty set up as is but I’ll add a few small touches. 😉👍🏼
@@JoeTheFarmer can’t wait to see!! Hope you have a great week.
@joesoutdoorexperience you too buddy!
We have had our Racka for 6 weeks now. Very nice cart and super quiet. How do you disconnect the reverse switch and which inside front basket did you purchase?
Glad you are enjoying it. Nice cart, especially for the money. Basket link is in our amazon store. Link is attached! www.amazon.com/shop/joethefarmer
I BOUGHT ONE LAST WEEK ....SAME CART BUT WHERE DO I GET PARTS LIKE BREAK PADS
I would contact the manufacturer. They can help with parts availability.
Is there a Joe The Farmer discount. Got to love this weather. That is what you meant when you said a golf cart would suit me better. 😂 Always something in the works that's why I enjoy watching your channel.
Thanks buddy! And YOU were the one I was referring to but didn’t want to say your name for privacy
@JoeTheFarmer thank you I think that would do all yard work I do mulch and what ever.
@mileshiles1287 absolutely
great video and nice cart. Great property!
Thank you so much! And appreciate you watching. 😁👍🏼
I love your gulfcart man
Looks nice, but as soon as I heard it's a 48 volt cart, I was done. I need a gas vehicle. So I'll keep the ranger for the time being.
I get it friend. No machine fits everyone. I couldn’t go without my gassers either. The electric sure is a great second machine though
@@JoeTheFarmer I agree. They all have their place. 👍
@c5grapeape 💯
Hi Joe, The Racka looks like a nice golf cart or LSV (low Speed Vehicle) as they are called. Are you familiar with Evolution? We bought a 2024 Evolution D5 Ranger 2+2, (backseats face the rear) street legal LSV last March. Turned over 400 miles today. It has a 48 volt 110AH lithium battery with built in charger, a 6.3 kw motor with automatic EM parking brake, will do 26mph according to the speedometer and my phone's GPS, 4-wheel disc brakes, 3-point seat belts, 14-inch wheels, radial tires, mud guards, LED running lights, high and low LED headlights, blinkers in front and rear and both side mirrors, tilt steering, a horn, 2 lockable glove boxes plus another dash storage area, storage under the rear seat, 9" color display, Bluetooth, USB charging, FM, and can play from a jump drive and a sound bar that has various colors. I recorded patriotic music and played it (loud) in a July 4th parade on Thursday. It was $11,000 but the price dropped in March to $8,600. We got the one with smooth tires for street use but it is available, lifted with knobby tires. I'm sure the off road model would fit you quite well. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
I just picked one up tonight
Nice! Enjoy it!!
I want one of these! I looked on the tractor supply website but didn't see this model. Do you have a link for this golf cart?
Depending on where you are located ask your store manager to request one. They should be able to get one to your store.
I like it! Good Video as usual!
Thanks Colton!
I am around golf carts all the time we have them around our campground. The name brand units are getting expensive like $10 to 14K, I think $8K is too expensive for a battery operated gocart, but nonetheless used carts are fetching $4,5,6K its really ridiculous to spend that kind of money on something so rudimentary. Just my thoughts items are just becoming unaffordable buying something like this requires a person to consider the benefits before laying down $8K.
I think those are all fair points my friend. Things are getting crazy. But competitively speaking this cart is really nice and half the price of most side by sides. Thanks for watching!
It is a nice unit I agree.
Love the grey color too. So nice. Another viewer said to put black wheels on it. That would look awesome
I totally agree. I think that what people are willing to pay for a toy car makes no sense when one can buy a decent used vehicle that is way more comfortable, safe and capable for less money.
We have to buy a side by side 4WD with a dump bed for work around our property and taking it up our mountain in the woods
Depending on elevation be sure to check on how the machine will work in higher altitudes. I have heard of some folks on tall mountains needing to make adjustments to their machine. If not that high, then no big deal.
@@JoeTheFarmer we have a neighbor that can make it with his side by side but his machine is the equivalent to a 4 door.
We need a side by side (2 seater) with a dump bed and a 4X4.
We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter.
Had to sub after this video. Awesome cart. Also..man alive what a beautiful property..this is in TN?
Thanks! And yessir. Just outside Nashville. Appreciate ya!!!
Its time to bring out the 15-foot Titan Batwing.
Like Golf Cart ; I didn't know that you played golf.... Hope your going well! We get some cooler weather I'm going to start hunting got a trip to Ohio late October!! Are y'all having any problems or new regulation in this CWD?
Don’t really play golf buddy; but I’ll drive a golf cart! Love this weather man. So nice! No real issues on cwd for us yet but sure it’s coming. Good luck out there!
I was told the southeast Tractor Supply stores will not get the Racka carts. They will all stay with the Massimo carts through 2024. Have you heard what stores will carry theses?
I haven’t heard who will carry them; but if you want one they are paying attention to that. Even for a demo. They can get one to your store.
The store in Bluffton, SC has them in stock. They just don’t service them. Deal breaker.
So, honest question. What service would an electric golf cart need that I cannot do? I have two electric machines on the farm and the only thing that they will need is batteries in the future. Yes grease, diff fluid change, etc. But that’s all super easy. Am I missing something?
@@JoeTheFarmer @ThePeteutube The biggest issue would be getting warranty work done.
We bought one last month. Our only concern is the seats are not heavy duty so they won't last. Also, when seat is flipped down it rubbed the bar and would have eventually caused a hole ☹️.
Don’t worry about that. Just enjoy it. Its tough and you can always replace the seat if need be.
Great video, the cart looks great. I have both a golf cart, 4-wheelers and a Polaris Ranger and the cart gets way more use. I was/am concerned about the quality of this assuming it is chinese made. My Ezgo is still great after 20 years, will this do the same, time will tell, please keep us posted? So I started researching and interesting enough I can't even find this cart anywhere even at TSC. So how hard would it be to get parts and service? I am just reluctant to get an off brand for something that should last a long time and will need service and parts down the road. Keep the great content coming, Good luck
Hey! You sound like me. Plenty of options but the cart seems to be the go to for quick trips. And you are right, the jury is out on how it will stand up over the years. Only time will tell. We plan to be tough on it, and will share the honest results. Appreciate you watching!
kandi amerca has some 45mph cars that look similar. i was keeping an eye on the k27 microcar. it looked kinda fun.
I've seen them, and they look really cool. The microcar is super cool. Wonder if it would work offroad?
iF YOU PUT A 12v 100 WATT SOLAR PANEL ON THE ROOF OF THE CART AND INSTALL A 30 OR 40 AMP MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLER IT WILL KEEP YOUR BATTERIES CHARGED WHEN YOU ARE OUT AN ABOUT.
I like that idea for sure. Just may try it!!! Thanks for watching!
Joe, this rider seems to be nice. One thing that I've never understood is why don't they have wipers. What, you're suppose to not operate it in the rain? That's crazy.
I think the wipers would scratch the windshield. Its not a heavy duty plastic. If glass; yes! Wipers would be great!
I was actually at my local Tractor Supply today picking up a new lawn mower battery. They had a couple of these sitting outside that caught my eye. Nice looking cart, I could see the benefit of having it on a farm, in a rural setting, etc. But, these were priced at $10,000. Sorry, IMO, that's just too expensive. I know the market is what it is, I'm just glad I don't need one and have to be tempted to purchase it or something like it.
They have a $10k cart; but this one is the $8k cart. They are all nice looking but not sure what more one gets for the extra $2k. This one seems to have everything but the speakers.
The 10k cart has a nice radio, backup camera and a nicer lush seat setup. Not worth the extra 2k imo. It’s a pdg cart. This is the racka.
Great for a couple years, or when you need to get parts.
We’ll see!
Too many toys? Depends on how rich you are. Beautiful property. Don
Thanks Don; appreciate your kind words. Thanks for Watching!
In my town Raca does cell this at tractor supply but it is two grand more with a turn signal kit horn and a built in sound system and radio on the golf cart and They make a sxs with all the same features with a dump bed and wider with 4x4 for 10 grand windshield and all with half doors with a soun system with a central display that I’m pretty sure has navigation I half to double check that. They’re real competitive in price we will see how reliable they are.
Wait; so you have a Racka cart there and it is $10k? Mine has turn signals and a horn but doesn't have a sound system or radio. I'd love to see a picture of it if so... What store is it?
Looks nice for camp ground
Would be perfect for that. Lifted suspension makes it great off the pavement
Looks awesome!
Its a great machine! Especially for the money!
Boy I loved to get a 6 or 8 seater I know I would love e gold cart but it’s probaly very very illegal in the Portland Oregon area where I live top speed 25 mph damn to bad it isn’t higher
I believe 25 mph is the cap for low speed vehicles not needing to be registered. Could be wrong. Thanks for watching!!!
@@JoeTheFarmer I mean my area it’s to big so to be regrister it would have to go 30 35 maybe even 40 for me just to go to the movie and I want to go somewhere needing the highway it wouldn’t work anyways
@@JoeTheFarmer you’re welcome
Pretty property!
Thank you JD!
Subscribed! Thank you for the great video coverage. I cannot seem to find that same cart for sale? I would buy one just like this one, 4 wheel Disc brakes, turn signals & 25 MPH. Just not seeing any RACKA's out there to match same product???
Hey! It's a nice cart, but a new one is coming out shortly that you may want to look at. These are sold is select Tractor Supply stores and it is nearly identical to the Coleman carts. Same manufacturer. Hope that helps!
@@JoeTheFarmer, thank you sir! Due to lack of finding that cart, I found & bought the 2024 Revolution D5 Ranger and so far I’m very happy with it. Thanks for reaching out though!👍🏼
@bigdh2os814 congratulations on the new cart! Glad you got what you like!
My grandparents just got this golf cart and it's all fine and great. We fixed all the sweeking noises but we cannot figure out how the adjust the headlights for the life of me. It's pointed so up it blinds everyone on the road and the light bar was pointed downward which we fixed. If anyone knows how to fix it, please do. The owners manual doesn't mention any adjustments to the headlight housing.
Glad you all like it! Not sure how or if the headlights can be adjusted but yes, the light bar was simple. Appreciate you watching! I’ll have a 4 mo review out on it this week so hope you will come back. 👍🏼👊🏼
@@JoeTheFarmer awesome will look forward to that review. Eventually I'm gonna take apart the entire frontend to do the adjustment myself.
Where do you find these things? Don't seem to be on internet anywhere. And not on Tractor Supply website
Limited stores will have them; ask your manager for one and they can get it to your store
Looks great. Thank u for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I just bought one of these and I Love it! One question.....do you know what a 2E error code is and what causes it. I have gotten that code a few times and then the golf cart stops. I have to turn it off and on again to get it to go.
Hey Roy! Congrats man! I’m not sure what that means. Haven’t seen it. Does it reference that in the manual? Wonder if it is a seat belt thing? Keep us posted!
@@JoeTheFarmer Thanks for answering so quickly! I looked it up in the manual and a 2E code is "Drive 7 output overcurrent". I don't know what would cause it.
@roytaylor4578 Not sure, I would call the manufacturer just to be sure. And happy to!
@@JoeTheFarmer Hi Joe! The 2E error code turned out to be an electrical issue. Tractor Supple exchanged my Golf Cart for a new one!
@roytaylor4578 hey! Sorry to hear you had an issue but great that TSC made it right! Thanks for sharing .
My biggest concern is where to take it for warranty work.
Totally fair; but honest question would be what will go wrong with an electric cart? Batteries or motor are a possibility or the led display; but they are so simple. I would say look into a service center close to you that honors the warranty before purchasing and that should ease the concern. Thanks for watching John!
Love the review, but can’t find this cart or any Racka brand on the Tractor Supply website. Any help? Do you have a link for this vehicle at Tractor Supply?
No link buddy but it will be rolling out. Limited stores have it now but more will get it. Others have asked their store manager to get one and its gotten there pretty fast. Appreciate you watching my friend!
In what country is it manufactured?
I’m sure it’s China.
Another option for the roof noise might be felt.
I thought of that; but getting wet would be an issue. I ordered some rubber that should work!
Can it go to the beach? Can it pull anything! Can you mount a winch? How h time for a charge?
I think you can do with it whatever you like. Charges pretty fast; as for sand and a winch it is not 4wd but within reason it is very capable on the farm so should translate to the beach.
Did you figure out how to stop the backing sound?
Yep, under the rear drivers side wheel by the electric motor there is a wire harness. Just disconnect and it kills the backup alarm. 👍🏼
How long is the battery good for ?
Have you done a video where you disable the backup beep? We just bought one yesterday and that thing has to go!
Haven’t done a video. It’s above the rear driver side wheel well. There’s a connector, disconnect that.
@@JoeTheFarmer I checked and all I see is a connector for the rear lights. I have the newer model where the charger is built in. I'm not sure if you have the same model or not.
@daviddavis9025 mine is the first gen, but have said the same to others and they said it worked. Put some ear plugs in, throw it in reverse and unplug it. If the beeping stops you got it! Lol.
Did you ever figure out how to disconnect the backup beeper.
Yes!!! It is tucked under the rear drivers side tire. Next to the electric motor. I am SO glad it’s disconnected now! Lol. Let me know if you have any trouble on it.
How do you disable the reverse beep? Didn’t catch that in video…
Under the rear drivers side wheel well. There’s a harness by the motor. Unplug the harness and you’re good. 👊🏼
Have a 99 Club Car DS that runs great. Kawasaki engine. Still not sold on the electric. Maybe.
100% understand brother. A solid gas engine is hard to beat.
I have a old gas cart. It uses all most no gas. shuts off on its own every time you stop. So my question is how much $ to keep it fully charged ready to go every day?
Probably not much to be honest. I have used it all day and haven’t been below 70%. If fully depleted it would prob add up. I am going to do a generator test to see how long it takes to charge it with a smaller inverter genny. I am no Bill Nye the science guy, just a dude that geeks out on cool gear.
Hello, Have looked and I Tractor Supply does not handle these---Racka RGC1 carts? You got more info???
They are rolling out in limited stores. If you ask your local store manager to get one they can get one. Great cart, especially for the money!
I put bales of hay on the back of my cart....does that rack for the clubs come completely off?
Yessir. It can be removed
I love it
It's a blast!
I love this!❤
Does it have a tow hitch?
Great question, I looked for that first thing. It does not. There are after market hitch options out there and zi don’t doubt it could pull a cart behind it. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. Thanks for watching!
I dont see this cart available, is this a preproduction module? Maybe just not available in my area.
Its not in all areas yet; but if you request it from a store manager they should be able to get one 👍🏼
Wish that it was 4x4 like the Bad Boy Buggies.
Do you know what they sell for?
Will Tractor Supply service the cart if there are any issues?
I’m not certain who will service it; but TSC is not set up for it. Definitely worth researching.
No
When will this be available at TSC, I watched this and then went there. The Sales people had no clue how I could buy one. TSC web site does not show it available.
They are adding new stores but if you ask the manager to order one they will send it to your store. They are usually in store only. What is your local TSC?
How do you unplug the back up alarm.
Under the rear drivers side wheel well. But “I don’t recommend it!” 😜🫣👍🏼
