Hello I am new to the group and have a 81 commuta car
,72 volts with a curtis controler, I live over here in
missisippi , kind of flat here with black top roads
and found out that my speedometer is 10 mph slow ,got
stopped doing over 50 in a 35, I think that the angle
drive that bolts to the end of the motor is the wrong
ratio, its marked 3.25 on the end , I have the hi
speed rear, does any one with the low speed (that
reads 10mph fast)rear want to trade angele drives,
called new car but they havent a clue, anybody have
one they want to sell please let me know , thanks Blaine

50 in a C-car? Wow! I'd frame the ticket.

Hi Blaine,
I would sure like to know the mods you did to your comutacar to
achieve 50 mph. I am in the process of restoring my 1980 comutacar. I
seem to remember the car did around 37 mph tops, with 48 volts, does
this sound about right?
Are you using the stock 6 hp ge motor? Do the brushes burn up?
Please fill me in, my inquiring mind would like to know.
Thanks, Louie
PS sorry I cannot help with the spedo gear.

The mods on my commutacar are still going on , I
modifyed the battery boxes front and back to carry two
more six volt batterys in each box or 12 all together,
right now I am useing 9 Delfis 8 volt batterys , 72
volts altogether but at alittle over 300 lbs, willsend
some photos of the box if you like, also made a new
front bumper, on the brakes I use 5606 aircraft hyd
oil , (you guys with the disk brakes should use it
because the calapers are off a cessna) the tires are
spacesaver spare tires off a honda, 105 13" aired to
65 to 70lbs , it rolls very easy ,I use a sevcon 72
volt dc to dc converter and a motorcycle battery, and
a 400 amp curtis controler, this car has the hi speed
rearend 5.17 to 1 , I think the low speed 6.13 to one
went 38 mph, which one do you have,like to compare and
figure out what I realy need to make my speedometer
right, I think the motor was changed at one time
before I got it, as for the brushes they are copper
grafite , I have a amp meter and at 55 mph it pulls
125 amps , which is the max amp for the motor, at 75
amp it will do 45mph , the road here is flat with few
small hills,I drive alittle over 30 miles a day with
the car, serves me well , Hope this helps you ,yours

Hi Blaine,
Yes I would like to see a picture of your battery boxes. I have to
have new ones made up this winter, mine are rotted out from batteries
leaking acid. I guess I have the 6.13 rear, i remember years ago the
top end was 37 or 38 mph with new batts. Did you ever replace your
motor brushes? I am looking to purchase a set, but read somewhere
that the brushes in our motors have a special composition so they
will not burn up. Do you know where i can purchase the proper set (ge
6 hp motor). Also how nany amp hours are the batteries you are
currently using?
Take Care, Louie
