| You turn them right they get up and go. I have blasted away from traffic in my Hornets. They have tons of torque. Once you know how to drive them you can really fly. |

| Only thing to remember on 6V positive ground is good battery cables and make sure you have solid grounding. Make sure all connections are corrosion free and tight and you should have zero problems. |

| I have had zero problems on my Hudsons. As part of your 308 install you can convert to 12v neg ground but thats a bit of work. 6v worked fine for me. Part of the fun of running a classic. |
