Battery
1916baja - July 26th, 2013 at 09:06 PM

So, I'm in need of a new battery... I stole the one out of the drag car for the type 3.

My question is, seen as the rules now state regardless of type of battery it has to be in a sealed box if its in the cabin.... What sort of battery should I get? a budget Dry cell or a decent normal battery??

Cheers
Mick

Dry cell is lighter but maybe a bit more expensive

I can get a bit if a budget dry cell for a bit more than a half decent century battery.
