Default New Club Car DS motor question!

I just purchased a 96 Club Car DS. So far I added a stereo and light bar. It already came lifted and with rims, wheels, and diamond plate accessories.

My question is I would like to upgrade the speed. I have read you can increase speed with a speed code 4 or high speed magnet (as well as a controller, faster rpm motor etc) How do I determine which motor I have so I can attempt the less expensive routes first?

My serial is as follows: A9606-4855XX

I have tried the search feature but came up short for my year range. Thank you in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

to BGW.

Judging by your FNR you have a series cart. You do not have a speed sensor..

You'll need 21st century electronics, 48 volts and a speed motor. A high amp controller wouldn't hurt either.

That's a really nice looking cart. How old are the batteries? What kind of lift is on the front? Where are you located?

Thank you. Batteries are a year old. Im not sure what the lift is. Can you guys recommend a newer speed controller and motor?

Also I wanted to get the buggies unlimited front end rebuild kit has anyone posted DIY on this?

Take a picture of the front suspension when you get around to it. Just want to make sure that it's not a spindle lift vs. A arm.

Roger. I will take a picture in a few minutes. I have a little slop in the steering, so I figured replacing bushings and tierod ends etc would fix this? Was just hoping there was an instructional post on this. I can only find videos of steering rack swaps on youtube.

Posted the pic. Any recommendations on motor/controller upgrade? Is my cart not able to be changed to speed code 4?
