If your cart will run 30mph all day, then I would leave it alone. most of them that are set up like that have less than 2 hours of pedal time.

If you insist on getting more speed:

1. Don't touch the wiring. The wiring is the same for 48 volts. (with the exeption of the controller install. Instructions should be included with the controller.)
2. Replace the solenoid with a 48 volt unit.
3. Replace each 6 volt battery with an 8 volt battery. (or add 2 more 6 volts to the bagwell. You will have more runtime with this configuration. Wiring is "similar" and not real hard.)
4. Replace the controller with one capable of 48 volts. (see #1)
5. Get a good 48 volt charger. A 48 volt cart charger will run anywhere from a used $100 to a NEW $600 unit. It all depends on how much money you want to spend.
6. The most important thing to remember. HAVE FUN!
