Hi Rick
?
Any time you would like to see it is fine with me. I am also retired and around most of the time.
Mine is 48v and somewhat different than a C-Car. Batteries in mine are 4-6v batteries in the front bumpers and 4-6v batteries in the rear bumper. I have changed to solid state controller, with new main controller and new F/R controller.
You can contact me at koaly@... and I could send some pictures, if your interested.

Hi Robert
thanks for the reply
i have a 1976 C-Car, been sitting for a few years ..... one of those projects i vow to get to.
now i have this urge to restore this thing and take drives into town and have all the people stare at it and say?? WTFFFFFF
i have heard of upgrading the batteries to these new Lithium cell
i suppose your mileage would increase.
mine is green
also been thinking of replacing the drum brakes with disc brakes.
lots of disc brake systems out there for small boat trailers ....
i just ordered a 200 page shop manual from E-Bay, i hope it helps me.
iam retired so a trip to see your car would be great
i live south of Allentown,? Emmaus.

Hi Rick

I live in Susquehanna Pa, not really close . I have a 1981 Comutacar, which I restored, similar to a C-Car and may be able to help you with any questions.

Welcome to the group.? Do I have your CitiCar on my Roster??

If not, send me your information and the serial; number and I will enter it into my master file.?

?

To answer your question, many have tried to switch to a more modern break system but none have been quite successful, so far.? The early 1974-5 CitiCar¡¯s actually had front disc brakes but the change to 4 wheel drum brakes with dual master cyl worked much better.
