I don't think you got a bad deal If you add up all the cost of all the goodies on the cart at retail, you about got the cart for free.

You may check the batteries though.

Yes, Some speed loss is to be expected.

The bigger load (# people) in the cart there are the greater speed loss is to be expected.

Yes, it is normal if you are running a stock controller. Is your car a PDS or Series car? Does at have 4 guage cables? You can add either a new after market controller and/or a higher torque motor if you are willing to spend the money.
