the batteries wiped out my cash for now. I am saving money now for some 10" aluminum rims with tires. cart currently runs at 19-20 mph. I'm gonna post some pictures of it, once I offload them from my phone to laptop.

I'd love to see the pictures. What did u spend on the controller upgrade project?
