Default Speeding Up My G9

I want to get more torque and top speed out of my G9 without spending my entire budget. Is there some small things i can do to accomplish this? By the way, I was searching on a sponsor's site and found an accessories shop less than 15 miles from the house. Has anybody ever used Carts Zone in Gastonia, N.C. before?

Is your G9 a reistor coil or controller model? depending on the year, they made both.

Maybe these photos will help! Which do I have?

OK, somebody tell me what I have, resistor coil or controller model! I really need to know!

Resistor. Those big coils between the batteries are the steeping resistors. You'll get more torque if you do a 4ga welding cable upgrade.

Does anyone have a pic of this so I will understand what I'm looking at doing to my cart?

Your own photos show large open resistor coils between the batteries with about 6 cables attached to them. What basically happens is power is supplied to the wiper switch and then to the motor in steps though the resistors. The resistors have a high to low resistance which restricts the power allowed to pass to the motor restricting the speed.
It's easy to understand if you look at this wiring diagram at the bottom center, where it shows speed controller, resistors. This is not the wiring diagram for your cart, but an example that is easier to read.

Man, that is way cool and I can use it. I'm still confused about the wire itself. Should it look just like the "coil" or will it be different some how? A pic of this would really help!
