I was able to go 25mph for hours with 2 adults. I could also climb anything. If anyone is considering a project, this is certainly worthwhile.
I just did this build on my 02 TXT.. 8 T-105's... I cant really attest to the extended range yet as I am having issues with my cart after only 8-10 miles. Mine just shuts off. I don't have a clue why.. Still trying to nail that down.. I did get however get 4 miles of super steep ATV trail riding done on only 40% of my available power. I believe it went from 50.9v to 49.9v. after 1 hour of riding, or should I say Rock Crawling. My last 48v beast buggie with 6 8v batteries would only have approx 20% availible power left after that same ride. so it is a huge increase in range. still unsure of regular ( ROAD ) driving.
