1999 txt upgrade ?

[99txt]

Hi everyone, I've been researching a lot on golf carts lately and this site has been the most helpful. I figured since I read up here a lot I might as well become a member lol.

I've just recently bought a 1999 ego txt cart with new batteries and has the rear seat. I've read where these carts are the best for off road use and are great torque carts. This cart will always be off-road and hardly ever see pavement. I used my gps and checked the mph at 16 mph with me and 3 buddies on it. Is that a average speed or could it possibly have some upgrades already??

Im also working on getting a 5" lift and some 23" tires for it as well. Will this kill the torque and how much will it help mph wise?? What are a few simple things I could do to stay around 20 mph and still have the torque??

Thanks, john
