Earth both batteries.
fix a feed from live on main battery to a 100amp relay, take a 2nd feed from relay to second battery.
Supply relay with a ignition switched feed or from Alternator W terminal (rev counter feed) so that 2nd battery is isolated from main battery until the ignition is switched on/engine is spinning.
Tis a good point well put.
Was going to fit a dual Voltmeter guage for the twin batteries but it seems you can't get them, so it is looking like a boost gauge, to be fair.
Shall get 2x Voltometer gauges and fit them next to each other in the would be sunroof switch panel instead. Also fitting a water temp gauge somewhere in the mix at some point too.
Am i the only one that thought it was absolutly crap?
Maybe been doing this too long but i walked around in 10 mins i did buy one thing but sold some bits to Alisport. main reason to go and my bro was picking up Marks Whitbread motor to bring back (the blue/white one) if I didn't go to help/sell stuff I woulda been most pee'd off!! Saw the usual suspects whitbread megasquirt some guys I compete with and Keiron from freespirit 4x4 said hello but the rest was pants lots of projects with serious price tags (house prices almost) and lots of bling stuff. Only thing I got was from mudstuff a center seatcup holder/map for £10 don't even think I need it I like my centre seat but it was fooking cheap.
No your not the only one, I live 10 mins away and went up at 9:30 and was back home at 11. Having said that I thought the overland stuff was interesting and Milner and Tomcat do some good motors from a competitive point of view if you can't build your own. I can't understand those huge challenge trucks though, I can understand the attraction of challenge events but if you need that sort of equipment then something is wrong, Perhaps it is just me but surely it should be about the team in the truck not the truck.
I will stick to ALRC CCV's on me 205's
My mate had his Whitbread motor there and I agree the most impressive motors I think were Milner they haven't got bling stuff just stuff that works for instance wishbones on display they are adequate and subtle no doubt made of high quality material and to a high standard although I think the new evoke (I know spelt wrong) was great it would have been nice to see it with proper comp tyres at comp ride height etc. the pea green 80/86 didn't really look too closely but was tidy I liked it a lot!!
The rest yea it's impressive but lotsa money and anyone can buy create motors and spider track axles and build it to half built frame just a question of money. Like wise anyone can buy a new motor doesn't mean they can drive it as quite evident in some big comp videos online the equipment far exceeds drivers abilitys
I dont understand your inverted snobbery where you seem to consider your type of offroading as more righteous. Your class of offroading has a place as does the big boy stuff which requires a vehicle to be faster over tough terrainNo your not the only one, I live 10 mins away and went up at 9:30 and was back home at 11.

Well no one is going to make a engine or gearbox etc.
Art make their own portal boxes and as for assemblers, making the space frame links ,working out suspension geometry etc etc is the skill.
These pics show it isnt assembled from a kit and the fabrication machining skill is high.
I dont know art personally but to say they are just assemblers is just mad, I suppose house of the flying spanners are not in your league either
