2017 Drive2 low end torque improvement

jcom · 11-04-2018, 06:08 PM

I am looking for any options that may be available for my 2017 drive2 EFI cart.
It is all factory for AZ. High speed gears, 10 in. tires.

It takes 3-4 blocks to get up to top speed on level ground. Longer if uphill or into any wind.

Guessing the larger tires have some bearing on this but wanted to see if anyone has done something to give their cart more low end torque.

Thanks for all opines or advice. Even if critical!!

You have to give Don Plowman a call. He will set your cart up right so you are able to get exactly what you want out of it. I couldn’t be happier with my Plowman setup!

Did you do the Performance kit or the Extreme? I have a Drive2 EFI that I need to upgrade. Don recommended the Extreme but I don't plan to lift my cart, do have 20" tires though. Flat and slight incline my cart does awesome but here in Georgia, we have a few steep hills where I bog down to 5 mph. I need low end torque for climbing.

i have the 4 rivet plate so I know I'll be trashing it and replacing

At some level... it’s a golf cart. It’s low powered and supposed to be simple fun. Plowman can get it a bit quicker through gearing, but it’s still 11-12hp. It’s not a 300hp v6 like every minivan has these days.

I have the performance kit. I top out around 30 mph and have a ton of low end torque.
