Hi all, I just received a Red Optima and the thing is radically heavy, is that the way they are or did I get the one for aircraft carriers? It's funny cause I've heard the battery location is to offset the driver... this one definitely will.

How did you guys mount the Odyssey? Anyway to do it without drilling into the tray? I just switched to an Optima Red Top too. Bought the model closest to the stock size. It comes with a custom bottom-edge retaining piece, made of heavy plastic - the standard bolt and hole location on the battery tray work perfectly with it. And yes, the first thing I noticed was the weight! But so far, so good with performance. EDIT: Oops, you asked about mounting the Odyssey, not the Optima. My bad. Disregard! |
