YES, the series carts were slow and dependable .... They do not take well to big tires, they just don't have the umph.
The good news is they do take well to added voltage

well i havent even moved my cart since i charged it last. it is now down to 37.7. i'am guessing that this isn't a good thing. i havent had a chance to get a tester yet, and its been raining here so i havent got the cart out. if the batteries end up beening bad, (which i think they are). will this still not fix me not having any torque.

Specific gravity tester can be purchased at any auto parts store. Make sure you get one with a glass float, NOT the one with the little plastic balls in it. Plastic balls are toys, glass float is a real tool.

Batteries that cannot accept and HOLD a charge will NOT generate good torque, no matter what setup you have.

thanks gornoman, i guess what iam trying to figure out is if i do get new batteries will i still have to upgrade my controller, or my motor to get some torque? just trying to see what kid of funds i will be trying to talk the wife into letting me spend.

Understood. It's hard to say from this distance, but new batteries can only help your situation. I just want to make sure that yours are spent BEFORE you start dropping $1 Large on batteries and controllers combined. Big tires on sparkies sap pack potential very quickly. You need a good pack AND a good controller to manage that pack. All other things being equal, a big tire cart will go through a pack faster than a stock cart.

A 48v conversion wouldn't hurt either.......
