Default PDS only runs 7MPH

I just got this pds put together and it will only run about 7mph. Its a new stock motor with freedom chip and a used stock controller, i have a brand new speed sensor installed as well. and a new solenoid. any ideas why it is so slow, the first test run it started out like it was gonna take off then just slowed down before it hit 7mph.

Something ain't right. You should at least hit low double-digits. Probably 10-13mph stock, and a little more if the chip has the right jumpers on it...

How old are the batteries, and how much were they charged when you test drove it?

Your voltage drop isn't bad, and you've tried more than one chip. How does it run without the chip?

I figured out what it was, the new motors didnt come with Magnets in them.
