I got to work on the Citicar brakes today!
Rich, Mark, and I got together to do the brakes on Mark and my cars.
Thanks again to Rich for all the help, skills, tools, and making my trailer lights work as well.
We pulled the brakes apart, cleaned out, honed the master cyclinder, degunked the spiders (angled brake cylinder things) and fixed the parking brake.
Rebuild kits are on order at the parts store, but to me, the brakes feel like new compared to what they were.
The Citicar now does donuts on the gravel parking lot really well, although I should make sure to bolt down my batteries first before I do that again.
I stopped at a restaurant on the way home with the Citicar on the trailer. Two guys in a sporty car pulled up next to me to ask about the car. The were shocked that it was electric. I explained how I wanted to up the system voltage for more speed. They thought it would be cool to race one.
