You need to upgrade the motor, send it to PQ and they can help you run faster.

So your saying a stock motor is only good for around 12 mph? If so that sucks the guy at my local cart shop that sold me the controller and wires and solenoid told me it should run around 20 with the up grades

Talking Re: Have ? About my top speed

A stock motor will run well at a higher speed it's just not going to do anything with more amp's alone.
A golf cart controller with more amp's will do nothing for top speed! It will get you there faster but the end results are the same. To go faster you need to move up to 48 volts are a little bigger tire on back.

What about the sepex carts? They go faster with more amperage.

Wink Re: Have ? About my top speed

Scottb,
I have no info on that to say.
His question is about a series cart.
I know on a series cart that amps equal torque not speed.

Like Andy said you have to have more rpms to get more speed amps give you torque and get you there faster. Plum Quick and or more volts. Taller tires will change it some too.

That is about right for 36v. I moved up to 48v 480a controller and get a little over 14 and pulls great. I have an Amp Meter and do not see over 200a draw unless I stand on the brakes going up hill with full pedal and then see a little over 300a. Plum Quick is building me a new motor to turn around 6500 RPM and do 28 MPH. For $225 they can upgrade your motor for around 4500 RPM / 19 MPH on 18" tires, 22 on 20.5"
