That sounds great, I've been reading allot of the old threads where you and others are talking about that motor, sounds like the one that I want to get, just don't want to loose any torque, it is actually doing allot better with the 48v with the stock motor and the other upgrades that I have done from Scotty.
I will probable just go with the largest tires I can without a lift.

Thank you for your input.

So you would go with the same setup as you have again if you had to do it over again?

Thanks

Only thing I'd change is six 8 volt batteries instead of eight 6s.

I put all my money into performance and nothing on pretty. When I go to sell it, most folks just want pretty, so I paid for fun, not necessarily resell.

If you go for larger tires on a stock motor, I'd suggest using a heat gun occasionally, or like I did, a spit wet finger. No sizzle, you're OK for now.

Good to know, I'll remember that when I get a day off and get to drive it a little, i'll check.

BTW, the new 7126 is now on the way? don't tell anyone, I haven't spent a dime on looks either, haven't even washed it. Keep it a sleeper.

Thank you for your feedback and experience.
