Stars come from the "factory" at 19.5 mph, unless you buy the 210 Amp battery, in which case, they come tuned for about 24 mph.

The answer to your question, is yes you can tune up the speed. You likely have a Curtis Controller and all you need is the software and cable to do it ... or, find someone who has both of those.

Then I suspect your bought your Star Sirius in The Villages? I've been told (but have no personal experience) they turn the speed down on carts they sell, to 19.5 mph.

According to the Star Website and personal knowledge, the 110A & 160A come set to 19.5 MPH. I have a 210A and it came from Star, set at 24.5.

If you want more speed, your Controller has to be adjusted. I've been told that 210A Sirius carts were produced with different controllers and they don't always have a Curtis controller. You need the connector & the software for whatever controller is in your cart, to reset the speed maximum.
