Hey Scott- check out the details of my CC in my signature. With stock gearing I was doing wheelies and laying down 11's in reverse. Top speed was pretty slow...I don't remember but likely around 15-18mph +/-?? After installing the 6:1 I can get 31mph. I pull a trailer with my cart and have had it loaded with pavers and the cart had no problem pulling it around the yard. The solenoid took a dump but now that I have a super duty reversing contactor it's all good. There are a few bridges I go over and the cart will lose about 5-8mph going up the bridge. The torque is plenty for my cart and you aren't even going to 6:1... but I don't know how our motors compare.
