E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
I recently bought my first cart, a E-Z-GO TXT 36V. I believe the motor was upgraded before I purchased it and it already had 20" tires on it. I lifted it 6" and put 23" tires on and expected to gain a little speed. Speed was unchanged (maybe lost 1 mph). Was I unrealistic to think I would gain a little speed from these changes?

Re: E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
Thank you for your quick response. What additional upgrades are required to gain some speed?

Re: E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
If it was only so easy....
You're probably just maxed out on what the system in it's current state can accomplish at this point and are looking at power/efficiency upgrades to get any more out of it. Welcome, you're peeking down the rabbit hole, the thickness of your wallet will determine how far down you go if you jump in. Batteries and condition are the first item to assess. After that or at the same time look at physical condition; tire inflation, brake condition, alignment, condition of every power cable connection. Get those all squared away and get a good base line, then you can look at power upgrades off of that baseline and decide where you want to be. |

Re: E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
Thanks guys. Sounds like I have some homework to do... I'm certainly at the beginning of the learning curve with this thing.

Re: E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
For comparison, I have a 98 txt 36v with a lift and 23 inch low pressure tires (sidewall says max 5 psi but I run them a little higher). I have the original motor, 4g battery cables, and back seat. Everything else is pretty much stock except for lighting. New batteries. I get +/- 12-13 mph on level ground.

Re: E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
I have a 98 TXT that's been converted to 48v, Alltrax controller, FSIP motor, 2 gauge cables, HD solenoid, 4" lift and 22" tires, I hit 29-30 mph. Like someone said above, thickness of your wallet will get you were you want to be but it can be done

Re: E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
What pressure did you put in your tires? I'd check that first, but beyond that the people here have shown you the pills, now you decide if you take the red pill or the blue pill...

Re: E-Z-GO TXT 36v speed
I have a 2009 TXT with a FSIP motor and a Curtis controller with the speed chip sitting on 205/65/10 tires and I'm good for 23 mph......that's good enough for me around our community.
