RXV speed
I have a standard RXV with 23 inch tires, freedom tune. Simple question. What is the best gear ratio/controller to add more speed and still ride around the neighborhood with a cooler and a passenger? I'm new to the golf cart scene, just want the veterans input. It does 27mph as it sits. I don't pull anything ever. Any input is appreciated.

Re: RXV speed
What year RXV? Silver heat sink behind controller cover or black?
There are no Alltrax or high amp output controllers or fancy speed motors for RXV I am afraid. Most you can do is upgrade a Danahar (silver heat sink, 2008-2011 RXV) controller to a Curtis (black heat sink, 2012-present RXV) controller where you can have more fun if you have high enough access level and/or a laptop programming station. But 27 MPH? yikes! I thought being able to get from 19.5 to 24 MPH with an OEM Curtis level programmer was an upgrade. |

Re: RXV speed
Also, there are performance aftermarket controllers from navitas available for Rxv (both varieties), but I don't want it. I prefer the abilities I have with the Curtis.

Re: RXV speed
It's a 2015 cart, there are several guys in my neighborhood going 29mph and touching 30 with bigger tires on the same setup. I don't want bigger tires, I just want to go a little faster. So go with the 350? Or are the gears worth it?

So what would you recommend for long term? I do things right the first time regardless of what it costs. |
