Club car DS speed...could this be right?
hey mates, ive got a club car ds that i just bought and have been fixing up. just dropped in trojan t875's and the charge is great. but the cart doesnt seem very quick..it goes about 10 mph on straight and crawlsssss up hills. going down a hill i got up to 28 mph lol. does this seem right? ive got about 6 charges on the batteries. the cart has the 6" jake lift, 14" wheels, 23" tires.
(about the year: it was sold to me as a 2001 and has all the characteristics of the newer Ds (roof etc) but when i finally got under it i saw the tag that said A99 or something like that...does this mean it is a 99 that was retrofitted to look like a new one?) THANKS! |

Larger tyres mean more speed less power. Sounds like you may have a monster truck with a straight four motor I see from your contribution to another thread that the cart is a series cart with #6 gauge wire to the motor and fwd/rev switch.What size controller do you have , with the big wheels you would need at least a 450-500amp and a heavy duty fwd/rev switch and preferably #2 gauge wires Last edited by Golfdog; 08-03-2011 at 03:01 PM..

Check the pie shaped speed switch.It might be opening up all the way.

Its right under the charging port.On the drivers side.You need to disconnect the rod with the pedal all the way down and see if the switch moves up any further.

Re: Club car DS speed...could this be right?
10 mph sounds right while breaking in batteries, you need to upgrade all 6 gage cables to 4 gage if you hope to gain anything.........all 6 gage not just battery cables......................anywhere currant goes from 4 gage to 6 is a bottleneck so to speak..................................
