New Owner

[Culln5]

Well I bit the bullet and purchased a stock 2007 Precendent with 2010 batteries, fold down rear seat, front & rear lights. I have noticed that my cart is much slower than my neighbor's 94 DS. I assume because of the speed setting and the regen brake? Now I like the way it is now for the kids, but I want to go faster for myself.... LOL.... Does anyone know if the Two-Speed-Kit-Club-Car-IQ-High-Speed-Upto-20-MPH-WITH-WIRING-HARNESS that you can find on Ebay works and is safe for the cart?

Thanks!.... More questions to come... LOL

I would just take it to your dealer and get Speed code 4 installed, which gives you 20 mph. It's the fastest setting and it costs $100

I inquired about that with the dealer when I heard it could be done and they want $249 to change the speed code. He also mentioned that the code was unique to the cart's controller and if something happened to it the upgrade would have to be purchased again.... ??....

$249. Call a different dealer.

Go elsewhere for better price. The code is tied to your cart only and would have to be programmed again if something happened. Whether or not they charge you again is up to them.

A lift with some bigger tires will add some speed as well.

1. $249 is too much money . . $100-125 seems to be a "normal" pricing . . .

2. Speed code 4 is "built" by CC using a combination of the cart's serial number and the serial number of the controller . . . if controller dies for some reason, a new code would be needed for the replacement stock controller . .

So are the SpeedyLink type units an option? Are they safe?

Two things are BADLY wrong with this thread....

1. A 1994 DS is outrunning a 2007 Precedent.... NOT normal.

2. A dealer is stupid enough to charge people that much money to install a speed code. That's the most ridiculous crap I've ever heard.

Go with a PlumQuick bandit motor for the same price as their speed code. It'll give you more speed and torque, and eliminate the regen braking. Or if you're not interested in that route, call another dealer.

The only way a 1994 DS would outrun that Precedent is if the DS is modded, or if the Precedent is set on speed code 1, something I've NEVER seen anybody use. Not even once. Another possible problem is a bad speed sensor. Drive it for a few feet and get out and push it. Does it slow itself down and emit a beep beep beep from the reverse buzzer while doing so? If so, great, that's normal operation and your speed sensor is fine. If it rolls freely with no resistance, buy a speed sensor and go blister that DS cart.

I may have not been clear with what I was trying to say. My cart will run 14-16 MPH in all conditions (flat, uphill, downhill). My buddies DS is very slow uphill but screams to about 30 MPH downhill (that's where he smokes me). Yes, the cart beeps when it moves without depressing the accelerator.

As far as these plug in speed links, I am looking for a temporary fix until I become more familiar with what's out there to mod it properly (winter projects).

That's normal. The 94 DS doesn't have motor braking. The high speed code will still leave the motor braking enabled, but increase the top speed to 19.6MPH. You either need a PQ motor, or a Speedylink to eliminate your motor braking.
