Only two of my R models are 12 volt start. The other is 12 volt electrics, but 24 volt starter like B models. All of the trucks have battery boxes on both sides and use four batteries in total.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
