ezgo 98 TXT speed/torque advice

prime21

Hello everyone. My first post on this forum and i am very new to the cart realm so please be gentle..lol...I recently purchased a 98 ezgo txt which i believe is a dcs cart. (it has the lever under the seat and the switch inside the battery compartment) I am also pretty positive that it is a 36v.

So my dilema is: I want to increase the speed of it as much as possible but i want to keep it pretty simple. ie I would like to change the speed controller OR the motor. Whichever is the best way to do it. OR change it over to 48v. I would kinda prefer not to do that since it sounds the most demanding and i would have to rewire alot of stuff. Or so it sounds anyway.
I am trying to keep it relatively inexpensive too which is why i dont wanna change everything. Something around $500ish or less would be great.
I will be running on relatively flat ground and am more concerned with speed than torque. I would like to try to get to at least 23-25mph. If possible.
btw, i do have a 5inch lift kit and 23 inch tires on it already if that makes much difference.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Welcome to the forum prime21.......................

Not all of the EZGO folks that can help, visit this section of the forum. It would be to your advantage if you re-post your question under Electric EZGO where more people can see it. You'll get better results there.

thanks for moving the original. After i posted the thread i realized it was in the wrong section but then i didnt want to repost in the correct thread and have 2 of the same threads going in different sections. Sorry about that.

Just a follow up to my first question. I will absolutely upgrade to a 48v if it is clearly the best thing for me to do. But if i can get similar results by doing something easier and cheaper then i would rather do that. Any advice?
