Battery location.
« on: March 10, 2013, 06:48:20 AM »
I'm looking for the safest place to install my main battery bearing in mind that my project is a pickup truck. My local rules don't have any info on pickups because no one races them here YET. Experience has taught me to ask first and fit later because you guys don't miss a thing and the advice is always 100%.

Put it in the bed, you need weight on the rear anyway, use a good battery box properly mounted and spill proof. Keep up the good work. :cheers:
