Re: Changing gears in 2013 RXV
I wouldnt recommend going any steeper than 10.5:1, or the performance will suffer alot. with the controller set to max, the top speed should be near 30mph.. The controller is less than 300amp, it gets a good workout even at 10.5:1.

Re: Changing gears in 2013 RXV
Thanks for the advice. As for rims and tires iv read the 14" with 205/40-14 tires will work in stock RXV. Any truth to that ? Sorry for all the questions but I'm coming from a long marriage of CCs .... Thanks a lot Guys.

Re: Changing gears in 2013 RXV
Gears Are pretty simple to install. I've done a few rxv's with the 6 to 1 gears and 205/65/10 tires and set to 19.5 mph we average 36-37 mph and the take off power suffers and the brake suffers but it can be done

Re: Changing gears in 2013 RXV
I have 12" wheels with 22" tires. My cart runs 25 mph and the problem with the cart at top speed is that it is not stable. I think a lot of it is my wheels. I think I am going to change to a 14" wheel with a low profile tire and then lower it. After that I MIGHT change the gears. You would be taking your life into your own hands if you could bet my cart to run 35 mph with the current configuration.

Re: Changing gears in 2013 RXV
This cart is not lifted. I think the tires are actually 205x30x14 and are 20-21 inches tall or thereabouts.

Re: Changing gears in 2013 RXV
Thanks for the info guys. I think Ill go with the rims and tires first to see what it does and go from there.

Is it similar to changing a rear end in a car or truck? I told my local guy I was just going to do it myself and he said not to mess up the AC motor and is trying to scare me out of it.....any tips that may help? |

Re: Changing gears in 2013 RXV
ya, unhook your battery pack first, and use two wrenches while removing the cables on the motor.

haha Thanks, I just didn't know if there was something other than the basics when it comes to the RXV. Iv been a CC guy for years and have never worked on the AC carts. Normal unhooking of battery pack and take apart rear end will do? |
