I have a stock 2002 club car DS series(non IQ) cart and I did upgrade to a plum quick bandit motor last year. Now that golf season is over I am looking to increase the torque and ground speed - primarily for commutes to and from the course. The batteries all appear to be holding on and have proper voltage readings as mentioned in buggies unlimited forum. I am somewhat confused as the next step to increase speed. Options I have heard are the following:
. Upgrade to a better controller
. Upgrade to better wires
. Increase wheel and tire size from 8" to 10 or 12 (not really looking to lift the cart yet)
. Linkage - there was some wear on the connection from pedal to acc linkage and I tightened this up by slipping a brass fitting over the cam/pin. Should there be other linkage changes or maintenance I can do.

In the general I am getting average speed but get blown away by the CC Precedent models.
Any suggestion or list of action I should look into should be greatly appreciated.
