2002 Club Car ds 13.5 mph sound right?

[bbbdale]

New to me Series cart.

6" lift. 23" tires. Rear seat. Windshield. Clay basket.

500 amp Flight Systems controller. Upgraded wires and Solenoid.

Does 13.5 sound right? Controller has 3 adjustments. Could one of these be adjusted to speed up the cart?

Thinking about a Bandit or D&D to speed things up a bit.

If it has the factory motor in it I'm not surprised at the slow speed. I'm assuming it's a series cart (Lever operated F&R Switch). If so, that's about average. A high speed motor would definitely wake it up. With a 500 amp controller, I hope you've upgraded all of your cables and your F&R switch.

Series cart. Yes, everything is upgraded except the stock motor. Plenty of speed in the woods which is really what I use it for mostly. Probably will probably upgrade the motor after turkey season.

With the Bandit at $225 and the others at $5-600, i assume the others are must faster options?

There's nothing wrong with a Bandit. There's a huge cost difference because when you buy a Bandit you're buying an upgrade to your existing motor. You're not actually purchasing a motor.

PQ did not have a core and I did not feel like being without my cart in the middle of turkey season. So I ordered a Beast motor from GolfCartKing for $510 shipped. Got it in 2 days and just put it in. I'm running 20-21 on flat ground with a 6" lift and 23" tires. Very happy with the torque and the speed.

I still think I'll send the old motor to PQ and have them build a similar motor as the Beast just in case.
