you'd have to series the 8 volt batteries with the 12 volt batteries

and you'd get 20 volts and burn up everything in your car lol

You could wire 6 volt batteries in series with 12 volts which is what some euro competitors do

Just make sure you run them off of a totally different system then your car, don't have anything hooked up to the car that touches those batteries

we put 4v with 12v , not 6v with 12v

i have 4v and 12v , when all is good charged sometimes i have to burp on low volume to get under the 18v to be able to start playing in the lanes

Thank you all. Justin I had some 8v batts lying around I was thinking of using but never mind. I will just stick to the 12v batts.
