I know this is one of the first warnings given to series cart owners -- you won't gain speed unless you add voltage or change motor type -- but does a change in controller amperage along with increased tire size give a speed increase? Since just a tire size increase usually decreases torque, does the improved controller draw offset that?
I'm still in the planning stage of how to upgrade in the future and live in a neighborhood with a few steep hills. Though I'd probably be happy with just not dropping to a crawl when travelling up them...
