You may have a 0-5kΩ throttle (4 wires coming out of that box), in that design the wiper arm has to be fully on top of the last pad to get full speed.

The later throttles (5 wires) in the same VGlide body use a different system where just touching the last pad gave you 100% throttle.

There are adjustments in rod from the pedal to the VGlide box that you can use to make sure the VGlide wiper arm is resting entirely on the last pad at pedal down.

Very little current flows through that VGlide, so the wiper ARM pad alignment to the other pads is not critical as long as it is making contact.

I didn’t see a spring thing behind the batteries, does that mean it’s a solid state cart? I extended the accelerator rod (it has a little bit of adjustment on it) so the the v groove brush covers all the pads instead of stopping halfway over the last one. That seemed to give a little boost. 12 mph on flat ground, 6 mph going backwards, going up the hill it was ay 7-8 mph.

Unless you have a lot of heavy cables instead of 4 small wires going to the VGlide, it is a Solid State cart with a Controller.

You can try going uphill with a loaded cart a few times then feel around the high current path: Solenoid, FNR and cables for anything that is hot.

You can disconnect the White and the Black wires from micro-switch #3 and wrap them individually with electrical tape so You will have the same speed forward and Reverse.

What is the pack voltage when the cart is going slow uphill?

Your motor have a similar look as my original ?
Some call it “Blue label” , (slow but reliable)
Designed slow for golf courses.
No real upgrades without starting with the motor.

Speed in Reverse circuit is wired to be slower. Which
Is a good thing

I've got a 97 which performs just like you describe. Mine has the blue label motor. I'm fine with the level ground speed but would like a little more on the hills also.

If all things are performing correctly on your cart, you would need to upgrade to a torque motor or motor/controller combo to meet your goal.
