Its hill climbing ability will depend on how its geared. Here's a calculator you can use to figure out where your gearing is at now, and other gearing combonations you could change to for much better climbing ability: http://www.diygokarts.com/speed-calculator.html

(if your engine still has the govenor all connected, enter 3600 rpm / gearing for the least top speed = the best climbing ability)

I also think that it needs bigger front tires but from what I understand is that you can't put them on.
