Why AC Motor Conversions Outperform DC Systems

Traditional golf carts utilize brushed direct current (DC) motors. While reliable, DC motors generate significant internal heat, have carbon brushes that wear down, and lose significant torque under heavy loads.

The Alternating Current (AC) Advantage:

    1. Zero Motor Brushes: Sealed AC induction motors have no wearable brush assemblies, requiring virtually zero maintenance.

    2. Dynamic Regenerative Braking: AC motors pump electric energy back into your battery pack as you coast down hills.

    3. Massive Hill Torque: Delivers continuous peak torque across the entire RPM band without overheating.

  • Top Speeds of 28–35+ MPH: Effortlessly reaches neighborhood speed-limit compliance.

Navitas TAC2 Controller: 440-Amp vs 600-Amp

Navitas offers two core controller tiers:

    1. Navitas 440-Amp TAC2: Ideal for non-lifted or mildly lifted carts (up to 20″ tires) cruising standard roads and golf courses.

  • Navitas 600-Amp TAC2: The industry benchmark for lifted carts, 4-to-6 passenger carriers, off-road hunting vehicles, or heavy mountain terrain.

On-The-Fly (OTF) Programmer & Bluetooth App

One of Navitas’s standout features is the dashboard-mounted OTF (On-The-Fly) programmer. With three rotary dials, you can adjust:

  1. Speed Limit Dial: Cap top speed between 10 MPH (safe for kids/valet) and 30+ MPH.

  2. Regen Braking Dial: Dial up instant engine braking or feather-light coasting.

  3. Acceleration Rate Dial: Smooth out neck-snapping acceleration or dial in instant wheel-spinning launch torque.


Using the Navitas Dashboard App (iOS & Android), you can lock out settings with a PIN code, diagnose fault codes, and monitor live battery voltage in real time.
