New Cart - Need advice

gtojohnny · 09-23-2009, 02:11 AM

I just bought a 1995 Medalist Fleet cart. I thas brand new Deka Gel batteries that all measure above 6.45 volts at full charge. The cart is all stock, but runs flawlessly and goes 14 mph on flat ground and probably 8-9 uphill. I would like to put on a lift and 22 inch tires. I will of course upgrade the wires to at least 4 gauge, but will I need to do anything else? Will it be a total dog up hills? If so, will a controller upgrade help the torque for going up hills? Will the bigger tires alone make it faster on flat ground? I'm not looking at motor upgrades at this point. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

4ga wires will help. A Alltrax AXE 4844 controller will help torque and allow increased voltage. 1 or 2 more batteries will help torque and speed. 22" tires will increase speed and reduce torque.
