The Alltrax AC1 kit we track is listed for Precedents from 2008.5, with a separate kit for 2004-2008.5 mid-mount controller Precedents.

How they compare
- Most cart coverage: Navitas, with kits for Club Car, EZGO TXT and Yamaha and controller-only options for the RXV and SepEx DC carts.
- Highest listed motor power and amps: Teekon's 9kW, 840A kit, which also had the lowest listed kit price we found ($1,395), for Club Car and EZGO TXT only.
- Middle ground: the Alltrax AC1 kit at 5.5kW and 650A, for Club Car and EZGO TXT.
Every kit here is 48V, so it works with a stock-voltage pack or a 48V lithium drop-in. If you're weighing a kit against a controller-only DC upgrade or a 72V build, read AC vs DC golf cart motors and controllers, then check your parts in the JuiceMyCart planner.
