Help with Speed Question

Ok, here are the settings on my Alltrax 400:

Switches Enabled - High Pedal Disable, Turbo, and 1/2 Speed Reverse
Max Output Current - 100%
Under Voltage - 32.0 Volts
Over Voltage - 60.0 Volts
Throttle Up Rate - 5
Throttle Down Rate - 5
Brake Current - 65%
Top Speed - 100%

Throttle is set to Linear Slope

Make sure you hit the SET button in the program

Yeah, I hit that SET button each time I played with the throttle curves. I am happy with the Torque. I'm just wondering about the speed. I need to get an accurate speed check from my good GPS and not my phone.

OK, just for more information, I took readings on the batteries:
4 hours after charging
12.97
13.08
13.02
13.08

12 hours after charging
12.79
12.96
12.90
12.96

I posted these because somewhere I read that "AMPs" are correlated to TORQUE, and "VOLTS" are correlated to SPEED. Going to look into a load tester next.

Okay I load tested all of my batteries and they all seemed fine. The only thing I can figure is the extra weight that I carry with the winch, the extra battery and the basket maybe pulling my speed down. I also am running 23 inch tires that are deflated down to 10 pounds. I got a true readings of 15 miles per hour. I think with my situation that is the most I will be able to get out of that cart.

Try doubling tire inflation and see if speed increases . . . worth the experiment . . .

I put them back up to the 22lbs recommended by the manufacturer, and the only thing I gained was a harsh ride! lol I think I am going to air them back down to 10lbs and enjoy the smoother ride...especially for when I am off in the woods.

My cart weighs 1,140 lbs. after I set it up for Street Legal. I'm on Private code 4 but that's the same as what you should be with your Alltrax setup... in other words... no holding back whatsoever. I run 22" tires and before my Purple PQ motor I had speeds of 20.3 with the stock one. With Code three and 22" tires I ran at 19 MPH give or take. With 23's and 15 plus PSI in them you should be there as well. Are you sure your motor is/was a stock motor?

DJBlade · 01-20-2012, 05:33 PM

Im guessing it is. I bought the cart stock from a CC dealer. Is there any way to check?
