Dont forget that roll-cage for verts too. anything faster than 13.99 in vert has to have a cage.

Thanks for the input everyone. I just want to make sure I don't set myself up for disaster. I will be going with an optima battery, vented box ( just to cover my ***) and a master cutoff switch.

got mine in the back of my vert in a sealed vented Taylor box i got the optima and still vented it b/c they are picky up here oh yeah and you have to have a master cut off switch

make sure you fasten it down good...batteries have a lot of mass and thus a lot of inertia in an accident...
