EZGO golf cart parts and accessories: TXT, RXV and Marathon fitment
EZGO has sold the TXT and the RXV side by side since 2008, and they share a badge, a bolt pattern and very little else. Find your model and year on the plate, then buy TXT parts for a TXT and RXV parts for an RXV.
We pick from published specs, maker instructions and what owners report. We may earn a commission from links on this page; it never changes what we recommend. How we choose
The short answer
EZGO parts fit by platform. The TXT (1996 to present, with the Medalist and most Express models on its body) and the RXV (2008 to present, with the Liberty on its platform) do not share lift kits, rear seats, suspension or park brake parts. The TXT is 36V through 2009 and 48V from 2010; the RXV is 48V throughout. The plate inside the passenger-side glovebox on older TXTs, or the sticker on the frame rail under the seat back on later TXTs and every RXV, gives you the year.
- EZGO parts fit by platform, and the TXT and RXV share almost nothing below the seat.
- The TXT is 36V through 2009 and 48V from 2010; the RXV is 48V throughout.
- The last two digits of the manufacturer code on the plate are the model year; the body is the cross-check.
- A 6-inch TXT spindle lift is about $400 to $650, and nothing from it bolts to an RXV.

The picks in detail
1.Serial number locator (free)
Fits: Every EZGO, Club Car and Yamaha

Pros
- Free to use on any make
- Decodes the code into model and year
- Shows where the plate sits on each body
Cons
- Needs a readable plate to decode
Why we picked it
EZGO plates are the hardest of the three makes to read because the code only gives the last digit of the year. The locator shows where the plate sits on a Marathon, TXT and RXV and decodes the manufacturer code into a model and year. Use it before any order that lists a year split, which on an EZGO is most of them.
Before you buy: If the plate is gone, the body shape gives the decade: boxy Marathon, flat-faced TXT, sculpted RXV.
2.Jake's 6-inch spindle lift kit, EZGO TXT
Fits: EZGO TXT 2001.5 and later, gas and electric; earlier TXT and RXV kits sold separately
At Buggies Unlimited. We may earn a commission.
Pros
- The lift most TXTs get
- Half-day install that keeps stock A-arms
- Room for 22-inch tires on 10-inch wheels
Cons
- Does not fit an RXV
- Two runs split at the 2001 model year
Why we picked it
The TXT is the most common cart in the aftermarket and this is the lift most of them get. Taller spindles and rear shackles, stock A-arms, a half-day install, and room for 22-inch tires on 10-inch wheels. Jake's lists the TXT in two runs because the front end changed in the 2001 model year, so check which side of that your plate falls on.
Before you buy: Do not buy this for an RXV. The RXV has independent front suspension and takes its own kit.
3.RHOX LED headlight and taillight kit, EZGO TXT
Fits: EZGO TXT, sold in two runs: 1996 to 2013 and 2014 and later; RXV kits sold separately
At Buggies Unlimited. We may earn a commission.
Pros
- Drops into the molded recesses, no cutting
- Deluxe version adds street-legal parts
Cons
- Two runs split at the 2014 cowl change
- Needs a reducer matched to your voltage
Why we picked it
The TXT front cowl changed shape in 2014 and the headlight cutouts moved with it, so the kit is sold in an early and a late version. Either way it drops into the molded recesses with no cutting. The deluxe version adds turn signals, horn and brake lights for a street-legal build.
Before you buy: On a 36V TXT the kit needs a 36V-to-12V reducer; on a TXT48 or RXV a 48V-to-12V one. Buy the kit that matches your voltage.
4.EZGO replacement parts: brakes, bushings, cables, solenoids and switches
Fits: Marathon 1976 to 1994, TXT 1996 and later, RXV 2008 and later, listed by model and year
At Buggies Unlimited. We may earn a commission.
Pros
- Cheap because so many TXTs were built
- Sorted by model and then by year
Cons
- Solenoids and controllers are voltage-specific
Why we picked it
Brake shoes, leaf spring bushings, accelerator cables, forward-reverse switch contacts and solenoids are the parts a TXT eats over twenty years, and all of them are cheap because so many TXTs were built. The EZGO section sorts by model then year, which is how you avoid the 36V and 48V mix-up.
Before you buy: TXT solenoids and controllers are voltage-specific; a 36V part on a TXT48 will fail fast.
EZGO golf cart parts fit by platform, and EZGO has three of them that matter. The Marathon ran to 1994 and is the boxy one. The TXT started in 1996, is still built, and is the most common golf cart in the American aftermarket; the Medalist of 1994 and 1995 and most Express stretch models share its body. The RXV started in 2008, is also still built, and shares almost nothing with the TXT below the seat cushions. Find your model and year on the plate, or with the fitment finder, before you buy anything on this page. The shop-by-cart overview explains why the platform matters more than the badge on every make.
Then sort out voltage. The Marathon and Medalist are 36V. The TXT is 36V through 2009 and 48V from 2010, when EZGO renamed the electric version the TXT48. The RXV is 48V throughout, and the Liberty is a factory lithium cart on the RXV platform. That split decides your batteries, charger, lithium pack, voltage reducer and controller.
How to read an EZGO serial number
On older TXTs the plate is inside the passenger-side glovebox; later TXTs and every RXV carry a sticker on the frame rail under the seat back, so lift the seat and look down behind it. It carries two numbers: a serial number, which is a straight production count and says nothing about the year, and a manufacturer code, which is a letter followed by three or four digits. The last two digits of the manufacturer code are the model year, so a code ending 07 is a 2007. EZGO starts its model year in late summer, so a cart built in the fall can carry the next year’s number.
The body is the cross-check. A boxy, upright cart with a flat seat back is a Marathon, which ended in 1994. A flat-faced cart with a solid front axle and leaf springs is a TXT, and the 2014 and later TXT has a more sculpted nose with different headlight cutouts. A cart with independent front suspension, coil springs and a sloped nose is an RXV, built from 2008. If the code does not fit that pattern, which happens on some newer labels, the serial locator in the picks above decodes the full code.
Where plates have been painted over or lost, look at the charger receptacle. A D-shaped PowerWise receptacle means a 36V cart, which is any Marathon or a TXT through 2009. A round three-pin receptacle means a 48V TXT48 or an RXV.
Model years at a glance
| Model | Years | Voltage | Family | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marathon | 1976 to 1994 | 36V | Marathon | The boxy EZGO. Resistor-coil electrics. Parts still available but check before assuming TXT parts fit. Gas versions. |
| Medalist | 1994 to 1995 | 36V | TXT | Short run between the Marathon and the TXT. Most TXT body parts fit; electrics differ. Gas versions. |
| TXT | 1996 to present | 36V through 2009, 48V from 2010 | TXT | PDS and DCS electrics on six 6V through 2009; TXT48 on six 8V from 2010. Front cowl changed in 2014. Gas versions. |
| RXV | 2008 to present | 48V | RXV | AC drive with an electric park brake; four 12V batteries from the factory. Lift kits and rear seats are RXV-specific; do not use TXT parts. Gas versions. |
| Express S4 / L4 / S6 | 2010 to present | 48V | TXT | Factory-stretched TXT and RXV platforms. Check whether yours is TXT- or RXV-based before ordering. Gas versions. |
| Liberty | 2021 to present | 48V | RXV | Factory lithium four-seater on the RXV platform. Confirm the pack voltage on the data plate before any electrical accessory. |
Years are model-run years as commonly published by EZGO and the aftermarket. Confirm on the plate before ordering anything with a year split.
Batteries and chargers
A 36V TXT, Marathon or Medalist takes six 6V flooded batteries; the 6-volt battery guide covers that set. A TXT48 takes six 8V from the factory and an RXV takes four 12V, unless a previous owner fitted the six-battery tray EZGO sells for the RXV; count yours before you shop the 8-volt or 12-volt pages. The batteries section runs the lead-acid versus lithium decision for any of them.
Lithium is straightforward on a TXT. A 48V lithium pack for an EZGO TXT48 with the EZGO tray kit is about $1,500 to $2,500, and a 36V TXT can take a 36V lithium pack and stay original. The RXV is the one to be careful with: its battery bay is shallower than the TXT bay, so a tall pack that fits a TXT may not fit under the RXV seat. Buy a pack listed for the RXV; the RXV upgrades page covers the tray question.
Chargers follow the plug. Every 36V EZGO uses the D-shaped PowerWise receptacle, and the matching PowerWise or a PowerWise-plug aftermarket unit is the charger for a 36V EZGO TXT. The TXT48 and the RXV use the round three-pin plug that came in with the Delta-Q chargers EZGO fitted from 2010, and most 48V aftermarket chargers are sold with it. A 36V charger on a TXT48 does nothing; a 48V charger on a 36V TXT cooks the batteries. Match voltage first, plug second.
Wheels, tires and lift kits
EZGO uses the same 4-on-4 bolt pattern as Club Car and Yamaha, so wheels for an EZGO are interchangeable across makes. Stock is 18x8.50-8 on an 8-inch wheel. An unlifted TXT clears a 20-inch tire on a 10-inch wheel; the RXV is a little tighter at the front because of the A-arms, so confirm clearance before buying 20s for an unlifted RXV.
Lift kits are the biggest TXT versus RXV trap. Lift kits for the EZGO TXT are sold in two runs that split at the 2001 model year, when the front end changed, and a 6-inch spindle kit is about $400 to $650. The Marathon takes its own kit. The RXV, with independent front suspension, takes an RXV-only kit that reworks the A-arms and costs a little more. Nothing from a TXT lift bolts to an RXV.
Lights and street-legal
The TXT front cowl changed in 2014, so light kits for an EZGO TXT are listed as 1996 to 2013 and 2014 and later; confirm on the plate. The RXV has its own kits, and many retailers split those at 2016 when the RXV nose was restyled; confirm on the plate there too. A basic LED kit is about $150 to $300 on either cart.
The street-legal kit for an EZGO adds turn signals, horn, brake lights and a mirror for about $250 to $450. On an electric cart the lights run through a voltage reducer, and this is where the 36V and 48V split bites: a 36V TXT needs a 36V-to-12V reducer and a TXT48 or RXV a 48V-to-12V one. Some sellers ship a 36-to-48V universal reducer, which works on both. How to make an EZGO street legal covers the wiring.
Seats and interior
Rear seat kits for the EZGO TXT fit 1996 and later TXTs in one run and cost about $350 to $800. RXV rear seats are a different kit for a different rear body and bumper, and the two are not interchangeable. The Marathon takes its own kit and there are fewer to choose from.
Replacement seats for an EZGO and seat covers are platform-specific: the TXT front seat is a flat bench with a separate back, the RXV seat is more contoured. Steering wheels for an EZGO need an EZGO adapter; the TXT and RXV columns differ, so buy the adapter for your model. Dash kits and cup holders are sold for the TXT dash and the RXV dash separately.
Covers, windshields and weather
Windshields for the EZGO TXT fit 1994 and later (the Medalist shares the body), about $100 to $200 folding. The RXV windshield is its own part with a different strut spacing. Enclosures for an EZGO are sold by model and by top length, so measure whether you have the two-passenger top or the extended top for a rear seat before ordering. Storage covers fit by overall length and whether a rear seat is installed.
Audio
Sound bars and overhead consoles clamp to the roof struts and fit a TXT or RXV with a standard top, about $150 to $500 for a sound bar on an EZGO. Power comes from the same 12V reducer the lights use; size it at 30A or more for lights plus a stereo. On a gas cart, run it from the starter battery.
Performance
The 36V TXT with the PDS system (roughly 2000 to 2009) is one of the best-supported carts for speed controllers, with Navitas and Alltrax plug-in units. The earlier DCS and Series TXTs have their own controller options; confirm which system you have on the plate and on the controller label, because the connectors differ. The TXT48 and the RXV have fewer plug-in options, and the RXV AC drive is best left to EZGO-specific programming rather than a swap. How to make an EZGO faster puts the choices in cost order for each platform.
If you have an RXV
The RXV gets its own page because it breaks every TXT assumption. The RXV upgrades page runs the upgrades owners do most, in order, and spends time on the electric park brake and the battery bay depth, which are the two things that surprise new RXV owners. If you are cross-shopping makes, the Club Car page and Yamaha page follow the same layout.
Questions owners ask
Is my TXT 36V or 48V?
Count the batteries. Six 6V batteries is a 36V TXT, which is every TXT through 2009. Six 8V batteries is a 48V TXT48, which is 2010 and later. The charger plug confirms it: a D-shaped PowerWise receptacle is 36V, a round three-pin receptacle is 48V.
Can I use TXT parts on an RXV?
Body-mounted accessories like sound bars and some mirrors, yes. Lift kits, rear seats, windshields, light kits, enclosures, batteries trays and anything to do with the brakes or drive, no. The RXV has independent front suspension, a different rear body, a shallower battery bay and an electric park brake, and the aftermarket treats it as a separate cart.
Is an Express a TXT or an RXV?
Either, depending on the year and model. The Express S4, L4 and S6 are factory-stretched carts built on the TXT platform for most of the run and on the RXV platform for some versions. Look at the front suspension: a solid axle with leaf springs is TXT-based, independent A-arms with coil springs is RXV-based. Then confirm on the plate before buying suspension or seat parts.
What is a Medalist and what fits it?
A short-run cart from 1994 and 1995 that bridged the Marathon and the TXT. It wears the early TXT body, so TXT body parts, seats and windshields from the 1990s fit, but the electrics are closer to the Marathon. Treat it as an early TXT for body parts and check everything electrical against the Medalist listing.

EZGO RXV upgrades: what fits, what it costs, what to do first
The EZGO RXV has been built since 2008 with a 48V AC-drive electric system, independent front suspension and an electric park brake, plus gas versions and the ELiTE lithium versions from about 2017. Its lift kits, rear seats, windshields, light kits and battery trays are all RXV-specific; TXT parts do not fit. Most RXV body parts fit 2008 to present, with light kits often split around 2016 when the nose was restyled.

Club Car parts and accessories: what fits a DS, Precedent or Onward
Club Car parts fit by body family, not by badge. The DS (1982 to 2013) and the Precedent family (Precedent, Onward and Tempo, 2004 to present) do not share seats, lights, lift kits or body parts, and the DS switched from 36V to 48V in 1995. The two letters at the start of the serial number tell you which family you own and the next two digits tell you the year.

Yamaha golf cart parts and accessories: G-series, Drive and Drive2
Yamaha parts fit by model code. The G14, G16, G19 and G22 (1995 to 2007) share most body accessories with each other; the Drive (G29, 2007 to 2016) and Drive2 (2017 to present) share with each other and almost nothing with the G-series. G14 and G16 are 36V; G19, G22, Drive and Drive2 are 48V. The serial, in or under the driver-side glove box on a G-series cart and under the seat on a Drive or Drive2, starts with the code.
