Default SLOW Cart - Help Needed

Thanks everyone for the help already. I have another problem. Ny new (to me) cart seems slow and sluggish. When I push down on the pedal I hear a very faint (almost inaudible) back up type sound. If the cart is stuck in 1/2 power (reverse going forward) how can I resolve? Could this be a controller or motor issue or both? I just installed 6 new batteries Wednesday night adn charged them Wed and all day yesterday. Should I pay for a shop to take a good look over the whole cart and test it out?

All help would be appreciated.

What are the individual digital voltage readings for each battery? i.e.
#1 = 4.23
#2 = 6.89?

I am at work now but when I chacked last night they were all over 6. Should you let new batteries charge a couple of days before running?

Never let the batteries charge more than 16 hours. Did you run the new batteries BEFORE charging them?

Absolutely not! Didn't you also just completely remove the controller and heat sink plate? Did you install everything back correctly?

I installed everything back correctly according to the wiring diagrams. When I remoived the heatsink I didn't remove the wires from the controller. I also used the Powerwise charger to charge up the new batteries.

If I do buy another controller what is the difference between a 300A and 400, 550, 850 Amp controller? Speed?

My controller looks to not have the 2 extra prongs on the top left adn a smaller pin setup than the 9 pin.. I am assuming that means it is a "fleet" cart correct? I attached a picture before it was all cleaned up.

Controller alone won't get you much speed, if any.
