just got myself a RCD blower starter;;can't afford a RCD battery pack at this time ;IF I go with full size batterys then what type [deep cycle marine/rv or lead acid std or
] and then how much Cranking amps do they need to be?they got to be mounted on back of golf cart so tight for space so there again person got starter from said he only used 36 volts and it started his car fine but would there be a big difference if I had the room to go to 48 volts?another thing;;if you have 4 12 volt batterys that is 500 cranking amps each and you hook them up so to get 48 volts then does that make them 2000 cranking amps then?

haven't got that fare yet;;if I end up using car batterys then just unhook and charge each batt separate with my shop charger;;if go with batt pack then i'd need to get a 36 volt or 48 volt charger for maybe whants used on a electric golf cart

« on: January 09, 2015, 09:25:50 AM »We have the same issue. I called ISP and in about 5 minutes had a rear helmet pad ordered. Give them a call.
on your pad;;when you all suited up and straped in does your helmet sit against pad or is there a space?how you go about telling them how thick pad needed to be?I'm new to all this so I have no ideal on this kind of stuff..never drove a car with this kind of g-force on launch so all a big issue;;my door cars never had enough sh#@ in them to worry about head slaming back against cage and knocking my out..lol..will be wearing neck support[hans device]and a chine strap on front of helmet before get back into car if that makes any difference;any pics of what ISP made for you?how much cost to have them do one for you?darksidefuelaltered@gmail.com
