Is that how fast they go? If I want 19 to 20 mph can I do it with 10 " tires. By the way it has 8" tires
.
Can the speed be adjusted with the codes in the controller? That one is for AJ

Also, how often do you need to add water? Is it just check it and see or should it be once a week or???
I also noticed that the charger goes on and off a few times when I first hook it up. Is that normal?
Are Trojan batteries good batteries?

OK, That's enough for now because I don't want to wear out my welcome.
Thanks

Approximate values:

Speed Code 1 = 8 Mph
Speed Code 2 = 11 Mph
Speed Code 3 = 14.7 Mph
Speed Code 4 = 19.7 Mph

Looks like you have speed code 3 set for your cart. Also be advised that if you increase tire size you will probably lose torque going up a hill, meaning you will slow down.

Be sure to add DISTILLED water to the batteries, tap water will reduce the life of the batteries.
