Can a stock Gem Car be programmed to travel 35MPH?
Yes, but beware! In our test Gems we had them clocked at 35MPH with gearing and radical reprogramming. However this performance was short lived! Radical reprogramming and or gearing will destroy your Gem Car. The motor and the controller CAN NOT take the increased load, higher temperatures, and increased RPMs. If reprogramming to achieve ultimate gem car performance sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is not true. To achieve reliable, everyday, 30MPH plus cruising speeds, you must have more motor. A motor that can deliver higher horsepower, higher RPM and can run all day at higher temps. The stock motor, regardless of how it is programmed, can not operate reliably under highly reprogrammed conditions.
