And the addiction begins

Famous last words :)

Looks like those tires are stock height (18" tall) so the top speed is about 18.5MPH if the speed chip is installed. Installing an Alltrax XCT48xxx-PDS controller will up it to about 24MPH with a 36V pack and about 28MPH at 42V.

Of course! Somewhere at some point I'll blame you joe

My personal needs are a family of 4. Me, my wife, 2 small boys (1 and 7) on a rear seat kit (when I get one). I live in Texas and it's mostly flat land in these parts. I might do a lift kit and tiny bit bigger A/T tires so I concur with your advice. The 400 will fit my needs, won't have to be dialed back and I won't need to upgrade anything else. (maybe the solenoid and wires) Otherwise I think I would be good to go. Thank you for the time and passing on your wisdom for the 20,000 time lol I'm sure it gets repetitive. I'm always happy to be pointed in the direction of other threads to gain more knowledge as well.

Lifting the frame, body and batteries off the axles raises the center of gravity of a narrow track, short wheelbase vehicle your loved ones will be riding in. You can go up to about 20" tall without a lift.

ATV tires tend to be low pressure types (<10PSI max inflation pressure), which take a lot of torque (Amp[s) to turn and reduce the top speed; And in some instances slow the cart down to less than stock speed.

No quite 20K yet, only 16K+.

Well then that pretty much changes my mind! I initially thought about just going with some 10" rims and whatever size tires go on those to get some more inches off the ground. Like I said... not in hill country and mainly roads, with some occasional light off road in the grass or unpaved dirt road. That's about it.

Been searching for the best place to pickup an Alltrax400 and I will be opting for a fan since in my climate it easily gets over 100+ in the summer with a high humidity. Want to keep my investment around for years to come.

Also found this guy.

Looks to be helpful when buttoning everything back up when I change out my old controller. Speaking of which I can't find anyone that's done this swap like a step by step with connections from old to new or how they mounted.
