it's really a pretty inconceivable option. yes it's short course racing, but for 15 minutes your subjecting the truck to pure hell. you need to have the option of restarting the truck if it stalls, you roll it, whatever. what happens if they red flag the race for an hour?? odds are you won't be able to start the truck when they're done. i could believe getting one good start out of a pneumatic system, but don't think you'd even save the weight of the battery, then there's no sense.

Re: dual battery setup
Yeah, but I thought it would make nerfing a lot more interesting if the rear bumpers were carrying 200psi. I guess I got a little carried away. I kind of stole this idea from the onboard compressor w/ bumper tanks that some rockcrawlers use.
late.

Pretty sure any type of pressure vessel is illegal anyway.
