Tires and lift For 08 TXT
Have my Electric 08 TXT pretty much stock. I wanted to get some new rims and tires put on it but don't want to give up any performance. I have also been thinking about a lift as well. What is the biggest I could go and not give up any performance. Not sure I want to go that big but at least I can go smaller if I decide. I have also been thinking about a freedom plug but have heard you might not want to do that with a lift. Was thinking about maybe doing the bigger tires then a lift maybe as well.

Re: Tires and lift For 08 TXT
My 2005 PDS with 6" lift and 23" tires runs 18 mph in mild hill mode and 23 mph in Freedom mode. Traveling up hills on pavement, it does between 11 & 14 mph mostly holding closer to 13 on all but the worst of hills. The only thing not stock as far the electrical system goes is it has 2 ga cables.
The only comparison I have been able to make to a stock cart was at Disney Fort Wilderness where you can pretty much run all out on the streets and there are plenty of stock carts getting in your way. With 4 or more people on my cart, none of the stock carts could pull away from me on the hills and even with more severe hills, I believe the top speed with the larger tires make the overall average speed higher than a cart with 18" tires. All I can say is the big off-road tires look pretty **** good and 23 mph makes for a nice ride. Next year I hope to be able to fund a 400 amp controller for better hill speed and a little more top speed! |

Re: Tires and lift For 08 TXT
you can not go with bigger tires without giving up performance....its just the way it is, as it takes more torque and power to turn them. AND it will, over time kill your controller, solenoid, and F/R if you even have one. plus you would need a complete set of larger cables, not just the battery cables, all of them.
