I know I have read it somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Someone posted they got a direct replacement battery for a T2 from a local parts store on the forum. I was wondering if anyone knows that part number and where I might find one. I really don't want to have to ship a battery to Utah. I also don't have time to modify my battery tray & bracketry right now.

Thanks,

Paul

I would just bring your batteries dimensions into the auto parts store and they should be able to match it up. I find Napa the best for matching things up. The other guys generally can't find anything unless you have a car make and model.

If you take out the battery tray and put in a battery box in its place you can fit a group size 24. I put in an Optima with battery box in that space. Doesn't seem like it will fit but it will. Ricksrb did it and I followed suite. Toughest thing is getting out the existing battery tray. It is welded in there surprisingly well. Otherwise you could just take it in and they will get something close. Can be a little smaller but not bigger as again it would not fit into the tray.

I use an Optima battery too. Don't want to find myself with a low battery when way out in no mans land. I put mine under my seat. Pulled the plastic tub out and put in a partition in blocking the driveshaft area. Battery fits along with lots of extra storage. I have an extra 6 gallon gas tank where the stock battery was.

Great...thanks guys. Right now I am busy moding the rear end (lowering) and suspension travel (lengthening). My right rear arm travel is 14.5" and the left is 15". Gotta love hand built chinese machines. I have moved my swing arm shock brackets forward and out towards the wheel. At the same time I am looking to integrify the inside swing arm where they are fracturing.

A good way to strtengthen the swing arms is to box them with 16 ga. steel continiously welded. Once reinforced, you must also strengthen the swing arm pivot ends or they will eventually crack. When I strengthened my swing arms for no flex, the stress then consentrated at the ends and they broke. Also gusset the horizontial tube the pivot point tabs mount to or they too will break away from the other frame members. Finally, thicken the tabs that hold the swing arm pivot ends and change the bolt to a bolt with a solid shank long enough to go thru both tabs. The stock setup will elongate the holes in the tabs especially the one that has the stock bolt threads being used to support the bolt in the tab area. Good work onthe suspension mods.

this picture shows how i did my upper shock mounts. This gives me some adjustability in setup.

This is wat can happen if you don't gusset the horizontial bar.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I would like to eventually do most of what you said. I was up at Sandworks in Ogden recently looking at the suspension designs of a few of their cars. I was originally wanting to do a set up like on the new RZR XP's, but after looking at the nice trailing arm set ups they had, I think when properly executed, it is a better design. The problem is the side-loads we put on our Troopers when racing around corners & hitting rocks on trails. Sand cars don't see those types of loads usually, but the arms they were making looked much stronger than our Troopers.

I am going to gusset the lower side on the inside arm where it has been cracking on other Troopers. I would like to improve the pivot joints eventually as well. Mine have have some side play. They need a good/strong bushing or bearing.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Hisun E1 Lithium Replacement Batteries (Australia) & Regen output in amps....
      By BuggyBoy
      So these Giant 48v/110ah batteries have just become available: https://www.aussiebatteries.com.au/giant-100ah-48v-lithium-golf-cart-deep-cycle-battery
      They look like they could drop in either side of the Controller that sits in the middle of the tray as they are 330mm(W) 355(L) 295mm(H). They can be paralleled, and I think two should be enough. Technically once paralleled the system should output 400ah continuous and 800ah Max (5 secs), more than enough for the E1 - probably 1/3rd more than is needed.
      However, the sales person stated that if the regen braking exceeded 400amps, it would put the batteries in standby mode for protection and they would have to be 're-started' with a jumper pack to reset them. Does anybody know the max output of the E1 Regen system, and if it does exceed that, is it possible to disable/bypass the regen so it has a zero output?
      Thanks.

      2018 Sidekick starter needs replacement ~ Looking for an alternative starter
      By Stan Morton
      My 2018 XG-850-SL starter died yesterday. The old part number from Kubota is E7153-11732 which has been superceed by part # EG881-63010. I am looking for an aftermarket starter because the Kubota retail price for the starter starts at $550 and upwards toward $850.  If anyone has gone down this road before and has found an aftermarket starter ~ please share with me. We own a ranch and this thing is used every single day and is sorely missed when it is down for maintenance.  Kind Regards, ~ Stan

      Massimo T-Boss 410 Unnecessary Winch Part?
      By Dale Halifax
      I'm a newbie.  While I'm testing out my new to me 2021 Massimo T-Boss 410 winch, I broke the Orange Ring that fits around the cable.  I can't see much of a purpose for this ring, other than to be in the way, and to break.  Is this ring really necessary?  I did find it on the Massimo winch parts diagram, but I'm thinking,  Meah?  Am I wrong?   (It's # 13 and 14 on the parts diagram, attached)
      Thanks.

      Axis 750 direct replacement parts

      I know the hisun parts are not very solid and they seem to be Rhino clones to some extent. I'm trying to find better quality replacement parts than the ones that are "OEM"....
