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.

QUOTE(tod914 @ Dec 2 2011, 08:22 AM)  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! |
