Talked with him this week, due to a stoke he is out of EVs but still has a few parts like a motor. Gave me this tip-he sure is friendly- If the brakes pull to...
I am looking to find a source for the Exide GC-145 batteries used in my truck. My mileage has been dropping g badly since the cold weather hit. Over Christmas...
I just spent the last couple of hours checking out the old threads and pixs. Seems like Stargatefan2 was having fan problems before his motor blew out on him. ...
Update on my 1980 ComutaCar in Los Angeles. My original 6 hp motor melted the brushes again. After talking with the company that overhauled my motor (Advanced...
Are you doing the work yourself? What's your plan if you blow your motor again? Sterling feels that with the D&D I could use a better controller. But he is...
... You won't be able to hurt that D&D motor with your controller unless you stall it for an extended period. What to watch out for. Other than the obvious...
Alright! I sorta knew about that wheel spin... reved my Dodge up, and drop it in to gear... but of course who of us didn't do that when we were in high school!...
I have an old S/P contactor that was taken apart and used to rebuild my F/R when I upgraded to an electronic controller. Many small parts, (all in a Ziplock...
Tom, I will take the parts and use them for a back-up ONLY IF no one else needs them. I could then use the parts in the future or let someone else who needs...
The link below takes you to a circuit diagram used on my 1975 C-Car. I was successful in getting the wheels to turn (forward and reverse) today with this...
Tom, I would love to have it if it has the coil as I need one of these. I will be happy to pay shipping if it is still available. I don't have you email...
Gordon - Congratulations on getting it working! Do you have a separate switch to turn on the 48v for the Alltrax CPU power, or is it run thru a relay? Tom -...
Tom - I took the advice of Alltrax and used the normally open contact on the PB-6 to turn on the 48 v to the Alltrax CPU. The Alltrax CPU only gets power ...
Hey folks! Check this out on YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJzzndK_bzk Interesting interview w/ a former Vangard/CVI engineer! Plus rare photos, Bob...
Gordon - It should work well that way. The Alltrax folks told me the controller 'boots' within a few milliseconds, so turning it on/off should not present a...
OK, I'm done lurking...Going to be a more productive part of this great group! What a great video of Tom Grate. With a career like his, he shouldn't have a...

... No, that shouldn't be a problem. BS in hotrod magazines to the contrary, even the largest engine can't break a ring gear or axle from plain old torque....
Well My Last Post Timed Out, which inadvertently led me to double posting the same message. D'oh! I'm working on posting pics of my all original red Citicar...
... Thanks for the post - great stuff. In fact, tomgrate123 did reply to my interest in the video. Signed his email as tom Grate. Thanks again. Also posted...
I finally got around to modifying a $10 *-mart heater. Modification included changing out the fan and modifying the nichrome coil, and took about an hour....
A 15 percent reduction of range isn't too bad for a little heat. The idea of giving up range is always hard for me to deal with though. I'm still in the coat...
I think people are going about this the wrong way. Go the path of small air heater for keeping the windows clear (aka defroster). As for creature comforts,...
One option to allow a little heating and cooling is the EV Seat http://www.evseat.com/ It can be set to both heat and cool. I've only tried the cooling side...
I agree about the C-Cars allowing us to be inventive. I can do almost anything with mine, and it will pass inspection. We have to get special permits to...
What I want to know is... Why does a California C-Car need a heater! :) Care to come visit Ohio??? If it's 60 today it will be 20 tomorrow! DaveP '80...
... At 50 watts it isn't going to do much. A peltier pile has a COP (coefficient of performance) of about 1 with the hot side at around 80 degrees. Less as...
Update... Had to drop back a little... Going with the 12HP... If I stayed with the 15HP there would have been some Modfications required to the frame. Cut and...
