Cart seems a little tired

[noserider]

Guys

I have an 04 DS IQ stock everything straight from the golf course. That's soon to change. Plan on lift and tires and most lilkey a PQ Bandit for starters. I have 2011 Trojans batts. They show great on DVM both as a pack and individually. Pack voltage after fully charged is generally above 51 even after 30-45 minutes driving around the neighborhood. I have not seen the pack drop below 50 after driving approx 15 miles. Individual batts are 8.48-8.58 across the board also after running for 30-45 minutes. Have not tested specific gravity or been load tested. Last few days I seem to notice the cart just seems to lack a little pep. I still GPS 14-15 on code 3 setting but at times it seems to get there a little slower if there is a slight incline on the neighborhood streets. Sometimes it seems a little slower to get there when it's flat. Not talking hills as it's fairly flat here. On todays run there were times when I thought it was just my imagination cause all seemed well and then it would seem to reappear ever so slightly. Batt cables are clean and tight but stock. I did recently install a new OBC that solved my charging issue but the cart ran fine after the install. Do controllers get a little weak or is there anything else I should look at. The problem is a suttle difference but even my GF noticed .

Thanks

tire pressure good? every connection tight? motor & controller too? any of your cables feel stiff? (corrosion)

motor brushes fully seated? commutator look smooth?

Will check those things out. What's a commutator?

its the area of the motor armature on which the brushes ride.

Ok...Well I'll check the other things first (other spelled easier )...if it turns out to be motor related it's time for the PQ Bandit.
