Precedent lift and power loss

[HUSKY5]

Just bought a 2012 precedent 48 volt cart,can i do a lift and tires without loosing a lot of power

You'll gain top speed on flats with bigger tires, but you'll lose a bunch of torque.
Bigger controller and motor upgrade can fix that, but it will shorten run time...

Was going to run 4 inch a arm lift and 22x11x10 tires will this even steal a lot of tourque or would it be exceptable

It depends on the weight you carry, and the terrain you drive on. I have a 4" lift with 22" tires BUT I also have an Alltrax XCT 400 amp controller. That being said. I gained about 4-5 mph on flat road (24mph with stock tires, 29 mph with 22"). I lost about 2-3 MPH up long steep hills (15mph at the top of hill with stock tires 13mph with 22") Hope this helps, just so you know the XCT makes a HUGE difference over the stock controller, so you may lose more speed on hills. When I came up with the speeds above me and a buddy were on the cart which was probable about 530lbs of weight.

So what can I add to get best tourque and speed with 4 inch lift and 22 tires.would the controller alone do it

And would extended range Trojans help

The controller alone is not enough for me, but it depends on how you use your cart, if your area is relatively flat and you don't carry a lot of weight you may be fine with the controller alone. I'm just to fat and want more torque

As far as the Trojans I assume you are referring to the Rangers? I don't know if they will make that big of a difference.

Take a look at Revolution Carts or Carts Unlimited site sponsors. Both David and Scotty offer controller/cable upgrade packages that come with good instructions. It will make a big difference and is not hard to do.
