| Re: sluggish after lift kit Assuming you did add larger tires... You're motor is pulling way more amperage now. Larger tires = larger gear ratio. I'd upgrade the controller, cables, F-R switch, and go to 48 volt. |

| Re: sluggish after lift kit Yep, sounds like your batts aren't holding up too well. 37.5 is only 80% charge and seems very low for that short of a run. 32.5 is way way low. Are you sure that was a good reading? If so, you are likely in need of batteries. Are they all good on water level...all connections clean and tight? I would check all that and read up on battery care in the stickies about testing and maintenance. Welcome to BGW by the way. I have a Cajun buddy...lives right down the road from me. |

| Re: sluggish after lift kit This might be a crazy notion but are your front tires lines. If they are way out of line, as they would be after adding a lift, you might be causing more drag. That idea might be waaay out there, but I suppose possible. |

| Re: sluggish after lift kit Check your brakes to make sure they aren't dragging. Sometimes when you lift a cart it tightens the brake lines!! My $0.02!!! |

| Re: sluggish after lift kit did you upgrade your battery cables from batt to batt and controler to motor, if not GO 4ga. minimum. but like stated sounds like you have a battery issue. this can also be caused by a bad cable. also have your charger tested. i have seen a few chargers not fuly charge the battery pack. What charger are you using. if its a QE charger, I am gonna vote for a bad charger. |

| Re: sluggish after lift kit Check each battery you may have one that has a short in it. It only takes one battery top ruin a set. |
