2011 CLub Car Precedent Speed

[sadavis]

How can I speed up my 2011 club car precedent , apparently excel, Curtis controller 1515-5201, 48 volt motor with 3.3 hp model EJ8-4001 past number 103572501 250 amp Curtis controller ,
I know I can take it to a dealer and pay them to recode it to 4, or ??
but what can I do? magnets by pass controller, replace- accelerator m-cor,
I do have new batteries and tires are standard 8 inch with proper air pressures, I am not looking for 35 mph (lol) but would like 20 plus or so
Thanks

If an Excel cart your options are:

Speed Code 4 = 19.6 MPH with stock tires
Taller Tires = some more speed (2 to 3 mph) but at the expense of torque.
Bandit Motor from Plum Quick = 25ish MPH at the cost of roughly 250.00

Bandit motors are very cost effective if all your looking for is a modest boost into the low to mid twenties...

It is one of many controllers that can be installed in these carts... The 1268 is a 500 Amp Controller whereas the stock controller is a 250 amp controller...

so do I need a controller with speed code 4 plus a Bandit Motor as mentioned
or just the motor? if I need spped code 4 - do I get my local dealer or reapir shop to get the speed code for me and use my present Curtis controller and you motor?

Option (S) are exactly that plural... As commented by several several times over you can get the speed that you're asking for with the Bandit motor and NOTHING else... If you go the Bandit route you do not need or want to waste your money on SC4 as the Bandit motor has a way of defeating the speed limiting control in the Excel controller...

The Bandit Motor needs nothing. You use all of your stock components (but a controller will help if you want more torque ), you just put it in and go and your speed should increase to at least 25 MPH. Great value.

I have a Bandit motor and a 400 amp controller and it's a great street combination for my 2012 Precedent. My cart has plenty of torque for street use, and it runs steady at around 28 MPH, I could not be happier.

Also as told on previous occasion you CAN'T use a speed magnet to speed up an EXCEL cart...

after you told me I could not do magnets- I sent an email to club car who forwarded it to a local DEALER- who called me; my question was exactly what cart did I have- I gave them a copy and paste if my cart serial number, controller, motor, and would have sent a sample of my DNA- (LOL) they ( dealer locally) said I had a "q" car. I do not disagree or agree, I said excel herein- can you tell me how to know so we can solve this -
Curtis controllers seem to be Excel ?? thanks,

No Curtis controllers were used on/in both IQ and Excel carts alike, different part numbers required for differing platforms...

Want to put the question to rest? Give us the serial number of your cart; honestly while I'm not including myself in the list but for the most part we KNOW these carts better and many dealers do.... All we need to know is the first 2 letters; which if it is PQ then it does not appear to be an Excel cart.
