There are a couple of things you can do to make sure you are getting the max out of your current configuration. First, check the batteries. You say they are two years old but have you tested to make sure they have been well maintained? There are great instructions on BGW for doing so.

If you find you batteries are good, next check your vglide. Make sure that all of the contacts are bright and shiny and that when you press on the gas pedal, the vglide arm moves the full length of the vglide. OF COURSE DO THIS AFTER FIRST DISCONNECTING THE WIRES FROM THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF THE PACK.

Chances that your resistors are bad is slim. Even in an old cart. By all means, inspect them though. If you do find one broke, let me know. I still have the old ones from my cart.

Let us know what you find out. The gurus on here may have other ideas or even correct my instructions. I'm still learning too. Just remember you can do this. Take you time, ask questions, and, most of all, post pictures so we can see what you are seeing.
Awesome response. This is what I was kind of looking for. Thinking about doing an upgrade at some point, but for now was looking for quick things to check to make sure I'm getting what I can out of it. Thank you!

Good approach. That way when you decide to upgrade you will KNOW exactly what you want performance wise and have a pretty good idea of what is involved. 100 year old technology has one good thing going for it. It is dirt simple, "even a caveman can do it"! Basic tools and a good ohmmeter and you can troubleshoot the whole thing yourself. Good learning. Keep us posted!
