Yes we do pull over on that hill that gets us down to 15mph...
Maybe some used lithium cells and an Alltrax 4865 or 7245 (I think those are the two models...) I'm not sure yet...lol
Also, sorry about typos being...everywhere...I'm typing on a 4.0" screen...

Hills that draw you down that slow can also blow brushes if you aren't careful.
If you insist on high speed driving with a C-car I recommend you emulate what was done with the Comutacar and lengthen your wheelbase (aka push the rear axle back).
I also recommend plug braking because C-car brakes work well when they work correctly, but are not reliable.
That said I did drive my Comutacar down the highway many times hopping down the road at about 50mph, most I ever got was 62mph down a steep hill. I had to turn the wheel into every 4th hunk of cement road or the car started bucking like a bronco. I have also ridden in a Citicar, mine seems to be more stable, if you are good at suspension and alignment you will need to tinker a lot to get it in form, same with the brakes.
