Re: slow txt needs boost !
I too have a 98 TXT...I did the controller and solenoid first, paired with some 2 gauge wires I made from welding wire. gave me a pretty good boost. From there I switched to 48v by adding two 6v batteries. The 36v motor will love having 48v thrown at it and will give you a nice upgrade in speed and torque. you can also add bigger tires to add a few mph but you will lose some torque by doing that. Last thing I did was buy a motor just for the simple fact that I had to feed my addiction to speed.

Bigger diameter tires. And Coors light is gross.

Re: slow txt needs boost !
You asked a question and you got the correct answer. "no there isn't" So why get snotty. You may find you have some options, but if you want speed cheap, you will lose out on torque, if you want torque cheap you will lose out on speed. Decide what you want and come back. If you want power and speed then i am afraid that Sir Nuke was spot on.
Just trying to help. Guys, was that year a series cart?, if so, maybe stuffing two extra batteries will be the cheapest option for him. I only really know the Gas models. elastictricity is not my forte. |

Re: slow txt needs boost !
Sorry guys...I was having a bad day. Selling this cart and just wanted to see if I could get a small increase in speed. I installed a new set of 4GA cables and it did the trick. Not a speedster....and not full of torque but pulls decent now.
