2fat2fly 0 #8 April 20, 2005 Take one gaming system, add a good flat display, mount the steering wheel, add one BMW racing style seat. The seat is power so I thought that it'd be cool to have all the power adjustment stuff working. A friend of mine is the gamer, I'm just trying to add cool points to his set upI am not the man.

Not True Usualy to charge a heavy duty battery you leave it on charge overnight maybe about 16 to 20 hours. How long do you intend to continously play for And strike two.... if I have a motor sitting under my ass go south, I want it hooked to the least available amperage possible.... Dosen't matter its only 12 volts unless youv got a supersensitive ass also a small charger only puts out 4 amps "be honest with yourself. Why do I want to go smaller?
