That looks like it is a nice flare tool but $1000 is a bit spendy. And I thought I was being a baller when I bought a Hydra flare. I got this one

so running my setup at 24 is honestly "bad"???... i've been daily driving it for 4 months this way now... charge the batteries once a week (just 2 of em, they're 1100cca) and i play with em a bunch and it all works perfectly fine... i have a friend with bags on another 64 here in town that is insanely jealous of how my setup works so well... oh and here's how she looks as of two hours ago... i just had custom exhaust tucked, brand new white walls, and trimmed the coils to lay her flat on her belly...

24v isn't a bad thing, especially since you are not running accumulators from the sounds of "trimmed the coils" - I ran 48v on my 64 and loved it, but it did have accumulators.

I run 24 volts on my astro and have no problems with it. plenty fast for me since I dont care to hop it. just lay it out and lift it to drive. but 48 would fun I guess.

Absolutely nothing wrong with running 24V, it's actually much more reliable than running more. These are 12V motors...I ran 24V for years and never ever ever had an issue.

When it comes to weight of a vehicle and deciding what voltage to use for your application, I think it all matters on what gears you run, but I may be wrong. Kind of like a horsepower/torque comparision would be. If you had a 10,000 lb. car with 500 horsepower but only 20 ft/lbs of torque, the car is not going to move. Gears, or "pump heads", are made to move a certain amount of fluid, like gallons per minute AT a certain voltage (usually 12). If you have a gear that tries to move a lot of fluid quickly, it adds a lot of stress to the motor, since it has to fight the weight of the car to try and lift it. I THINK the higher the gear, the less fluid they move, but not sure. I'm sure there is a site that can confirm this or not. I hope that makes sense to others, cuz after reading it back to myself it doesn't.............but I have airbags so what do I know???

The higher the gear number, the faster the car will lift. So if you had a 9 gear, it would lift slower than a 11 gear. I wouldn't say that 24v is bad, but a bit slow for me on that heavy of a car. I run 24v on my Mazda, but it doesn't even weigh half of what that beast must weigh.
