I still have my old cart, a 2011 carb refirb from VDGC, that I've been driving for over 4 years and it flies up the hills in comparison to the 18QT.

Two of my neighbors have 18 QT's also noticed the poor performance accelerating and up hills. Theirs are set for 24MPH max and mine for 20MPH (as is the 2011).

Has anyone else noticed this lack of power? Any suggestions on what can be done to give it a little more kick?

Carts and Clubs in Ocala (where we bought ours; more cart for the money at a lower price) came to our house to do some service on my wife's new QT. I mentioned to the tech about the sluggish performance and he pulled the spark arrestor (only required in CA) out of the end of the muffler and there is a noticeable difference in the power coming up out of a tunnel now after him doing that.

Worth mentioning to wherever you bought yours to see if they might do that.
