Have you already purchased the speed code from your local dealer?

Don't know if it's AC or DC motor. Most things I've read says 2018's are AC.

That's good to know, are all drive 2 set for 19.5 mph? This cart was in a fleet on a golf course before I bought it.

They can be turned up or down via a programmer us dealers have...So my suggestion would be to check your top speed with a simple speed app on your phone and make sure its at or around 19.5...If not the course may have had it turned down for safety reasons in which case you can take it to a dealer and they can turn it back up for you...

Most golf course carts are set to around 14mph.

I think the real question is how fast are you trying to go?

If you want to see anything above what the others have mentioned you get into motor and or controller swap outs. I went with the riot kit from Plowman (motor and controller) and am very happy. I can get to roughly 30mph and it jumps out of the gate to the point you have to be careful if you have people on the back.

Other things that seem to help are reducing weight and drag, a half windshield can cost you 2 mph depending on conditions...
