Nitrousbird Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 The range on that sucks, badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looks like the guy who did the conversion used regular car batteries. You need to use deep-cycle batteries for an application like this. It's no wonder the range took a nosedive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.1cutlass Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 The history report on that thing blows as well. Pretty much an overall fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
