speed controller
I've been reading lot on here lately about speed controller settings and have a question about mine. I've got a 48 volt 1996 CC DS stock suspension, tires, and speed controller. The controller is a Curtis 1204-410. The cart is good for about 9 to 10 MPH on flat ground but I would like a little more. Based on my research, the 1204 controller is not "programmable" for increased speeds. But with me being a newbie, I wanted some input/advise from some of you more experienced carters. Can I get more speed from the controller or is an upgrade needed to satisfy my "need for speed"?

Re: speed controller
I remember the disappointment of buying my first 48v carts. It was a pair of 1995 series carts. I put new batteries in both a whalaaa ...... 10-11 mph top speed. I was stunned.
Those early 48v carts were as detuned as they could be. Problem was there was no good way to speed them up without a motor change and that meant cables, F&R, controller, & solenoid upgrades as well. Later we discovered putting a stock 36v motor in the cart increased speed by 4-5 mph. |

Re: speed controller
Thanks for the replies so far guys. Storm, I've got brand new batts. US Battery to be exact. Put them In back in late June. I've heard from other folks and Scotty seems to have confirmed that I am getting about what I should expect with respect to speed. Just looking for a little more.

Re: speed controller
Is the cart a stock Series or stock Regen ? In a Series motor amps= torque and volts= speed, the more the better.
