Default Faster?

I have a Shuttle 6 with a 600A Navitas kit with the motor and speed controller. I have 22" tires on it, lifted 5". I also have 4 Eagle batteries from Bigbattery.com.

I can get it up to about 28-30mph. Any advice on how to make it go faster? I want to hit 40mph.

I'm not sure if my Navitas is setup correctly or if I'm just at the system's limit? Also, will a solenoid hinder the power? I believe it's pretty high amperage one.

I didn't install the Navitas system myself. Thanks for the help!

not trying to be an smart a.. really, just wondering?
will you be able to stop as fast as you want to go?
I admit I not very knowledgeable about carts that's why I am wondering if the breaks on a heavy stretch cart can do the job?

You could take a screenshot of the current settings in the Navitas app...

Sorry about that. I should have done that from the start.

Here are some screenshots. Thanks for the help.

Try changing the rear axle ratio to a higher number maybe like 16 or 17. It tricks the controller.

And just remember, SPEED KILLS! So add brakes on the front if you don’t already have them.

I have added brakes to the front, yes.

How do I change the rear axle ratio? I have experience with everything except that.

Forward speed setting 55 mph ok, it's your life... the Dashboard speedo shows 50 mph range, so that dosn't match. Tire diameter setting 24" ( instead of 22" ). To. change single values, overwrite them, tap "enter" and then "save" at the bottom of the screen. As far as i know, Navitas motors are limited to 9000 rpm, so probably anything above will be ignored?

Well, not really. It's a 6 seater cart on public roads so really it's his life, the lives of his passengers, and anybody who gets in their way. It's a bad idea.

I agree... i really like the possibility to choose the speed by myself, but i know, i'm responsible for that. After testing 36 mph max (pretty fast) i've reduced my setting to 30mph (still fast).

Btw 55 mph with a golfcart would be beyond of my imagination...
