Re: adding lift and tires
not sure what you mean by kill it.but taller tires will get more speed less torque.

Re: adding lift and tires
Before ordering a lift, wheels and tires, get it running on the stock running gear. Find a decent uphill grade and try it with 2 adults onboard. Now imagine the performance on that same grade being worse. Is that what you want your cart to be? If not, get out the checkbook.

Re: adding lift and tires
Where i live is flat the cart does good now with two adults so a little less tourqe is not a major problem i just don't wan't to burn up the motor just to have bigger tires i have acess to battery cable so i thought it could not hert to have bigger cables.This cart is old and was free so i don't wan't to put a ton of money in it.
