The stock 5HP motor will do 30 MPH pretty good and I don’t know if you really want to go much faster than that in a 2002. Have you put front disc brakes on it? Fully loaded going downhill you’ll have a tough time stopping going 25 MPH with those stock drum brakes… If you know for a fact your existing batteries are in good shape and still you can’t go over 23 MPH then search the forum for adding an extra battery. The extra voltage should help but again, going fast comes with issues which will bite you if you don’t watch out. ---

My Trojan battery’s are brand new. Maybe 1/4 mile on them. Disc brakes are on the way. I don’t mind adding another battery I would have went lithium but I wasn’t willing to wait. I hoping the motor will help. It’s not the best when people ride your a$$ and continuously use the horn. So as long as I can get to 40that will be all I need. ---

Yes no one had them locally and I had not yet found this forum. I was going to sell it because I never really used it. Then I got to messing with it. And as my wife would say it’s all down hill from there. ---

> [@Crawfish00](#): > > So as long as I can get to 40that will be all I need. Be careful. 40 in an 00-04 GEM is really dangerous. I’ve done it. Almost flipped it in the process. The suspension design on the 00-04 is archaic and, well, just sucks. 35 is doable. ---

My son recently flipped a 2001 e825 two seater when he tried to stop suddenly going about 30 with two adults aboard. Light weight makes it skid rather than stop. I would be very wary of exceeding 30 mph ---

I can’t say I’ve seen “light weight” used in conjunction with “Trojan batteries”, ever. 😉 Of course, 500lbs of lead has it’s own issues, like skidding rather than stopping because it’s so damn heavy and the brake design sucks… LOL. ---

When these batteries die I’ll switch to lithium. I do have an extra battery that I’ve picked up, but I’m unsure where to add it. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks for the intel about flipping. I do live in southwest Florida so there are no hills or winding roads. I actually live on an island where most of the speed limit is 30-35 and the max is 35mph so I’d like to get to that point I do run 14” wheels on 205-40/r14 ---

If you can give your D&D motor enough juice, it’ll get you to 35. D&D builds the motors for R4F and you can spin those 1k above the nameplate, ![cf_speed](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/a/ab12f582d1dc9b9031902bd1c85e0253dc2b2a58.jpeg) ---

Do you have one of the trunk boxes on the cart? that’s typically where people stick the 7th battery. ---

There are two ways to wire it in. If you wire it as part of the main pack, you will need to get a voltage shunt from @Inwo for the harness and to charge the original 6 and the +1, you’ll have to disconnect the 7th battery connect the battery cables back to each other to complete the circuit for the on board charger. Or. You can put #7 after the main contactor rather than part of the original pack. In that instance, it won’t be seen by the harness so the controller won’t try to error and shut down on over voltage so no shunt needed and because the contractor is open during charging, the original pack of 6 is isolated as #7. So no battery cables to mess with. Just turn on a 12v charger connected to #7. Here’s a thread on the latter method that Dave and I tested out a few years ago. I ran that setup for a year or more before I snapped the end off a half shaft and parked that cart for the final time. > [@LiFePo4 "7th battery" on a lead bottom GEM](https://community.electricforum.com/t/lifepo4-7th-battery-on-a-lead-bottom-gem/16591): > > This was an idea that Dave @Inwo came up with at some point in the past and I was the first ̶i̶d̶i̶o̶t̶ scientific pioneer willing to test it… … Adding an extra battery after the main contactor, so that only the high amperage terminals on the controller see the extra voltage. Translation, no voltage shunt needed for control power and that somehow changes how the controller sees things and the car performs and I’m gonna let Dave explain that part because he’s an electronics genius and I just f… ---

Don’t spin the original too fast. It’s a 4100rpm motor, can’t go too far over that, per Rodney, they don’t do well with it and tend to grenade internally. ---
