Question 2016 AC drive Speed increase to 25?

I'm looking to purchase my first golf cart and debating between
2016 Yamaha AC drive vs
2013 Club car precedent

Being a few miles from the coast, theres no hills and long stretches of road hence my desire to increase speed to 25+
The yamaha would come with 4 year warranty, I understand by going over 19+ would void the warranty so I would probably do this after a year or so to work out any 1st gen AC issues first.

What's the most reliable and economical way to do 25mph on this AC Yamaha?
Whats the max tire size without lifting?

The DC drive precedent will do 25mph with an Alltrax XCT speed control upgrade and 20" tires, no lift kit. Personally I would go to a 400 amp unit

I don't believe that Alltrax makes an AC drive controller! I think he's stuck with whatever Yamaha has to offer with that new drive system.

I put the RXV 10.5:1 ratio gears in Ac drives to make them go 25-26mph while keeping good power on hills.
Requires some different bearings on the intermediate shaft but they are common bearings. .

Thanks for the responses, I love the ride, comfort and looks of the yamaha but sounds like they're limited in speed increases until alltrax makes an ac controller.
The techs I've spoken to around me aren't comfortable enough to mess with the AC drive so gearing/bearing mods are probably out.
Ugh, so am leaning DC precedent now, just saw the Phantom body, not too bad but still prefer the yamaha

It's the same axle used in ezgo txt & Rxv, so the gears are no more challenging than a gear job on those.

Hmm, I'll ask them...so Rxv 10.5:1 gears and bearings
How much should it cost to do this mod? Approximation is fine
