Opinions please; cable replacements
My cart is a 97 CC DS series motor. I live in a very flat area and cart is used for golf only. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Plumquick Bandit motor. Cart runs 14mph now and looking to get to about 20mph. I'm considering replacing some of the power cables with 4ga. I found a couple of 4ga sets on ebay for about $35 for 5-14" cables and 2 24" cables. Here's an excerpt from the listing:

Re: Opinions please; cable replacements
To get the full benefits of a cable upgrade, all cables should be replaced. That means the battery cables and all cables to the forward and reverse switch and motor. You can leave the existing wire through the OBC and run the new one around it. Make sure they are both hooked up though, because the OBC still needs to sense the current going through it. If not replacing all cables it probably isn't worth the trouble. There are some site sponsors that sell complete cable sets.

Re: Opinions please; cable replacements
You should read this before you decide how much cable you are willing to change. You should change it all

Re: Opinions please; cable replacements
You can use a 36 volt motor and increase your speed, it works very well. I did this some 5 years ago and I'm still amazed at the pep in this cart. A 4 guage cable will slide through the hole in the obc without the eyelet connector however you will need a way to crimp the eyelet connector after you run the cable.
