Less resistance with larger cables. 2 gauge welding cable is preferred.

You want to turn as much chemical energy into mechanical energy at the motor. The more resistance your cables have, the less efficient your current (amps) delivery system is. The higher the current, the more you lose as heat. How much heat is lost depends on a number of factors, but heat )Watts) = current squared time resistance, so double the current and you quadruple your heat losses. Heavy acceleration, big tires, fast speed, heavy passengers, wrong type of tire for terrain, etc. all make the motor work harder and any time it works harder, it draws more amps, and more amps = more heat.

Bob,
What part of Tennessee do you travel to? I have a 2015 rxv I need programmed.

Do you make your own cables or buy online?

Yesterday I hauled my trailer to and from Mayfield, Kentucky. Left at 2:30 AM and arrived back home at about 9:30 PM.

I don't need my trailer to do reprogramming. I use it to pick up things that I buy. LOL

I made my own cables. In order to do that, U bought a cable cutter and a 6 sided (hex) crimper. I also bought a small torch for soldering the connectors after crimping, and several sizes of sealer lined heat shrink in red and black.

I've made most of my last ones using the same tools the Bob stated, but I only crimped and used marine grade adhesive lined heat shrink tubes.

I just bought a used 2015 RXV. The cart goes 19/20mph with the stock wheels and tires.

If I only upgrade the wheels and tires to the max size for an RXV w/out a lift (215x50/12), will the cart go faster?

Are the 20.5" tall tires too much for the stock controller?

The 20.5 is the max you wold want to go with on the stock controller. Any taller and you would really want to invest in the 350 amp. Just adding the 20.5 tires and inflating them properly should net you an addition 2 or so mph over stock tires. For even more, contact Bob Boyce and have him work his magic on your controller. He did mine a few months ago and it's incredible.
