Help first golf cart 1997 club car ds

[Dodge1812]

Hey all glad to find a post here I can refer to when in need help. I have a golf cart I am purchasing tomorrow I have driven it twice the cart is 48v and the batteries are giving 8.25 volts or so 20016 batteries. I have two questions

1. When I drive the cart it seems slower than all the others that my friends have actually much slower could it be a speed sensor gone bad? This is slow on flat ground the guys I we're riding around with in the neighborhood we're way in front of me ...

2. I have a clicking noise under my driver side rear seat . I think it's possibly the guide ring on morot making the sound. Any thoughts


Thanks you guys are great on here
