I like the built in extension cord reel!

You can try checking with a hydrometer to find the good ones then just buy what you need

DrivewayCustoms · 06-11-2008, 02:47 PM

do you any kind of hold-down on those batts?

irish S10 · 06-13-2008, 06:26 AM

werd, i run 36 volts and i get up just fine..good idea and cheaper too.

irish S10 · 06-16-2008, 05:53 PM

It was a hopper, but i'm not interested in hoppin so it doesn't really matter.

Can i get away with two batteries for each pump? Will they hold charge better?

juiced dimebag · 06-17-2008, 01:41 PM
