2014 should be the Curtis controller. 2019.5 is around when Curtis started locking them down. Stock tires, 18.5”, will run high 20s. If you go bigger than 20” tires you really need the 350 amp controller. What configuration do you have?

Right now I'm at 23 miles an hour on the freedom tune and my wheels and tires. So I should be able to get deep into the 2830 mile an hour would be awesome

Be careful, there's a guy out there that is hacking RXV controllers to report 5800 RPM at 30 MPH with stock tires. The RXV motor was not designed to survive spinning at over 10K RPM. If the motor grenades, the rear axle locks up and you will likely get injured or killed if it happens at that speed. Stick with what has been safe and proven... The 9600 RPM limit will get you 32- 33 MPH with 20.5" tires, stock tires 26-27 MPH.

While I have spun rxv motors faster than 9600, I would never send one out the door even at 9600 rpm limit. (I have told the boss I wont do it, for anyone) Just for reliability factor. I agree with bob!

That motor is screaming at 9600, first time I ever heard it....its a unique sound for a golf cart motor.

Those look like lo-pro 14s but should be a number on the side.

Curious as to what your wheel and tire sizes are? Thanks in advance.
