I have a 2013 Club Car Precedent and have a need for speed. It only goes 13 mph and would like to run 20 - 25 any suggestions.
You can have the dealer program the controller to speed code 4 and get 20 MPH. Or you can buy a programmer cheaper from @Diode for speed code 5. He's a member here so hang tight until he sees this. Here's a link to his website. Welcome to

Unfortunately you probably have a pH serial number cart so a controller would be the way to go
I do have a ph # What all would I do to do it right?

Just a controller will get you close to 25 larger tires + three to four Speed Motor maybe another four. I can do 35 Speed motor 22 inch tires stock controller with code 5
I have 23” tires . What controller for 2013 club car
Is it certain year carts that it won't work, what determines the series PH and such. DiodeCartaholic - V.I.P. Sponsor
I have alltrax or navitas
I have alltrax or navitas Which is easier to install on an EZGO TXT REGEN? The videos on youtube show some guy splicing wires for the Alltrax I can do that but would rather plug and play.

They're both plug-and-play should be no splicing
They're both plug-and-play should be no splicing Thanks
How to Make your Golf Cart Go FasterThe best way to make your golf cart go faster is by upgrading to larger tires, increasing the RPM, or by using speed chips and magnets. Most golf carts today are used for not just the game alone, but also activities like farming, racing, camping, hunting and a lot more. These activities require the carts to go faster than their usual speeds. There are various methods to make the cart go faster. Some of them are simple, straightforward and inexpensive while others come at a relatively high cost. Steps to make your Golf Cart Faster:
This method is slightly expensive. The standard gear ratio for most golf carts is 12.5:1. For every 12.5 revolutions made by the input shaft, the wheels will accomplish one full rotation. Lowering this ratio to 6:1 will help the cart move faster by increasing the speed from 12 to 14mph.
This method is not as expensive as the above option. It can be adopted for both electric and gas golf carts. The bigger the diameter of the tire, the higher the speed. However, keep in mind that it’s essential for the tires to always be inflated to the right pressure.
There are two ways this can be achieved in a gas golf cart. The first option is to adjust the mechanical ground speed governor assembly. The second method is to replace the engine with one that has a higher rpm output. There are multiple options for raising the rpm in an electric cart. One option is to change the motor with a motor of higher rpm, especially if you have a torque motor. Another option is to retain the current motor but increase its voltage rating.
This method takes hardly any time to get done. It’s important to know the voltage of the golf cart batteries before making the change. This information will be available on the batteries themselves. You can also check the golf cart manual or motor for this detail. What are Golf Cart Speed Chips?As the name indicates, golf cart speed chips increase the speed of the cart. They help the cart to go at a speed faster than its pre-programmed speed limit set in the electronic system. These speed chips can be used with only certain cart models and can be installed easily without any tool. You can buy a speed chip from online retailers like Amazon at an affordable price.
If this is present, you can use a speed chip with your golf cart. How to Install Speed Chip in Golf CartGolf cart owners can install speed chips themselves without professional assistance. Here is how you can install a speed chip in EZGO golf cart PDS by following five simple steps.
To know the speed or mode achieved after plugging in the speed chip, set the run-tow switch to tow position and move the forward/reverse switch from the neutral to reverse position five times. Check out the number of beeps after you do the fifth toggle.
If you hear more beeps, then it’s an indication of installing the wrong speed chip. Is there a Club Car Speed Chip?There are no speed chips for a Club Car. However, there are a couple of things you can do to increase the speed. If the Club Car is an IQ cart, you can get it upgraded to Speed Code 4 to get the maximum speed for the cart. It’s worth noting that the motor and controller may also have to be upgraded if it’s a series cart. The other option to increase the speed for an IQ cart is to get a new magnet installed below the speed controller. EZGO Speed Chip InstructionsThe EZ-Go speed chip or freedom chip can be used with 2000 model golf carts or later with electric power drive systems. This helps to increase the speed of the cart from 13.5mph to 19mph.
You can’t use a speed chip in an EZGO TXT Series golf cart. If you’re driving a 2002 EZGO Electric 36V TXT PDS golf cart on hilly terrain with four people, it’s advisable not to opt for speed freedom or steep hill chip as it can burn the motor because of the load. Consider getting a new 400 amps controller, diode, solenoid, resistor and cables. If you see very little speed difference on the road with the speed chip installed, you’ll have to replace the stock tires of the golf cart with tires of larger diameter. Does a Golf Cart Speed Magnet Really Work?A golf cart speed sensor magnet increases the speed by up to 21mph on a 48V Precedent IQ and Club Car DS golf carts that use ADC motors without any loss of torque. With a slight reduction in torque, the speed can be increased further up to 28mph.
The magnet boosts the current speed by 6 to 7mph. Carts with Speed 3 setting will have a revised speed of 20 to 26mph while those with Speed 4 setting show an increased speed of 26 to 28mph. Speed increases are experienced uphill, downhill and on flat surfaces. Will Speed Code 4 Work if a High-Speed Magnet Doesn’t?A Speed Code 4 setting in a Club Car DS with an ADC motor will work effectively as long as the high-speed magnet in the cart is in good condition. When the cart is programmed to Speed Code 4 setting, the motor of the golf cart will move at 19.6mph. This indicates that the high-speed magnet increases the maximum permitted RPM to above the speed you would otherwise get. If you don’t get this speed, it’s often because of a faulty MCOR in your cart. It’s worth changing your existing controller to an Alltrax ACT controller as it helps in self-diagnosis through the free software that you can access from their website.
Remember to mount the golf cart on jack stands when you do the above. Also, pull the inner fender and rear pass wheel out. Use a paint can lid remover to pull the magnet out. Sometimes, you may have to remove the inner wheel cover lining for the installation. When you install the magnet, ensure that the eight dots face the sensor. Speed Magnet Not Working on My Golf CartOne reason that the speed magnet may not be working on the golf cart is that it has been turned the wrong way. Another reason is that it could be functioning as a standard magnet. This can be confirmed by checking it with another magnet to determine the number of poles it has. There should be four north poles and four south poles. Speed Code Change isn’t WorkingThe speed code change is not likely to work if there is a problem with the speed controller. It might be worth changing to an Alltrax controller. Sometimes, you may have to make changes to the regeneration programmed in the controller. A dealer will be able to offer assistance in this regard. EZGO Golf Cart Speed Sensor MagnetIn an EZGO PDS golf cart, installing a high-speed magnet can increase the speed from 19 to 23mph. This speed can be increased to 23mph by swapping the cable. The speed can go up to around 24 to 25mph with bigger tires. Club Car Precedent Speed MagnetInstalling a new speed magnet along with Speed code 4 setting on the Club Car Precedent may not increase the speed to the desired limit. It’s worthwhile substituting the old motor with a new Plum Quick Bandit motor for the desired speed. Also, consider changing the controller to get the best speed plus torque combination. Club Car DS Speed MagnetThe Club Car DS may not give the desired speed with a new speed magnet because may be faulty. There could also be a loose cable connection in the motor or elsewhere. Ensure that the magnet is inserted so that the indentations face towards the motor. What are Golf Cart Speed Codes?
Most cart dealers agree to set the first three codes for free. However, they charge a fee for setting the last two codes because they have to be ordered specifically based on the serial number and controller of the golf cart. How to Change the Speed Code in a Club Car Precedent
The A, B and C codes for each cart are different and if your cart uses a PQ IQ motor, there is no need to use Speed code 4 for maximum speed. What is Golf Cart Speed Code 2?
What is Golf Cart Speed Code 3?
What is Golf Cart Speed Code 4?
