I have a friend here who reports 43 mph with these upgrades. Personally, I just have not felt the need for speed with the cart. But for those who do...the Chrysler dealership in Fruitland Park carries Ride-4-Fun parts.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the speed limit for Street Legal Carts on the roadways that regular carts cannot go on is 25 mph. The carts that are able to go 35 mph and higher are SPEEDING and subject to big time fines.
