    Question Anyone here have a tricked out golfcart?

    ...and NO I dont' mean a quad. I'm talking an actual golfcart. I know alot of peeps are tricking these things out these days and riding them off road.

    Anyone here into these things? got any pics or ideas? Post up!

    If you can count a sled engine as tricked out...Maybe mine counts as a trike??

    70's AMF Harley Davidson 3 wheel, 340cc Twin Kawasaki, 38mm Mikuni carb, Indy 650 exhaust, modified swingarm, shimmed secondary...this thing would pull wheelies and smoke the tires in circles. I got it to around 50 MPH. I honestly haven't got to hold it open long enough for it to top out. The engine always broke down. I'm waiting for a deal to come along on a motorcycle engine...

    there are ones that are gas and ones that are electric. just buy a cheap electric one and find a motor to slap in it. or not. buy a gas one and put a bigger motor in it.

    Either way we should have a good time tearin S&^% up with it

    I took a 3 wheeled electric golf cart and put a 250sx motor in it, I made wheel adapters and ran a new set of spider trac tires ( 350x rims ) on the rear. The front was modified to fit a 350x front tire and rim. This allowed for some very good turning ability.
    It was quite the set up and it had pulling power like no other machine. I actually used it to pull trucks , cars, ect out of the mud. It would even pull the back of a small truck around in circles in a gravel drive way. I ended up selling the motor and scrapping the cart.

    I now have a 3 wheeled golf cart with the special front tire set up. It has a 5-6 gallon hidden water canon that will shoot 15+ ft. I have another with van bucket seats on the front ( one is a power seat ). It has a van bench seat on the rear. This one also has a hidden water canon on it, how ever it only has a 3 quart tank.

    I need to get pictures.

    The hidden part of the cannon was slick. I took a 5/16 bolt and drilled a small angled hole 1/2 way through at the top. I then drilled a hole up from the bottom till it hit the angled hole. I then drilled a hole in the fender to put the bolt in it. I then took a piece of clear plastic tubing and routed it hidden through the cart to where the windshield washer tank is mounted. Mounted a switch behind the floor mat to operate the pump. Can't see the switch, or the tank, or the sprayer end. I even hooked up a wired remote control so I can be 40-50 ft away and operate the pump. Very sneaky, and it does get people wet.
    Oh, I about forgot. The sprayer bolt was made so that if your in a lie of golf carts you can shoot over the one in front of you and get the one in front of them. The cart in front of you gets the blame for the water. Priceless!!

    I sold mine about 4 years ago..............

    mine had the 12 horse 2 smoker stocker in it.......did real well on hard pack, but was way too heavy for sand

    I never rode in it.........we had it for the kids to run around camp and back and forth to the vendors

    it had lights tailights custom paint cd/ amp and a 12 inch woofer in the back...........got lucky and sold it for 3K which was alot considering that side by sides where hitting the market and killed the value of carts

    heres a horrible pic taken with a phone several years ago.but its the only pic I have of it

    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    chris you can do rhino shock/ a arm conversions to the carts. add in a 35hp Honda engine, and it'll move along well.

    r1 conversions in rhinos are where it's really at though.
