Are you talking the touch panel unit, or the older style toggle switch style?

I originally had the toggle switch panel in our car, and I loved it, except that it stuck out a bit and I'd bonk my helmet on it putting helmet on and taking it off. My car is pretty tight inside. I tried the touch panel deal. A lot of things i liked about it, some I didn't. The things I didn't like about was that from the drivers position with helmet on, I couldn't see it. The toggle switch panel can be switched by feel without looking. Not the case with the touch panel. I couldn't get past that.

It's for sale if you're looking to save some money. It's been sitting for a few months. Used it for two events

Which one do you have? I currently have the Painless with the fuses and six switches but need a few more switches for intercooler pump etc. PM with what you are looking to get for it.

I have had the ARC12000 for two years. I like the fact all I have to do is swipe my finger acrossed it and shut everything off. The only thing I have noticed is the ribbon connector into the top of the touch panel gets loose once in awhile. Otherwise it has been a great product that I would recomend to anyone.

I really like the ARC switch panel. The soft touch as said above you can swipe your finger across the panel face and shut everything down. Its also lighted up which helps at night

I put the relay board on the floor and I found you can change the source voltage for the relays.

The relay panel is next to the MSD 6AM ignition box.

I did find that if you have low voltage like a discharged battery the relays will chatter and not pick up. I drained the battery and it wouldn't close the contacts. I have had it for about 5 years and I like it.

Ive never been a fan of the wire ARC uses, I believe its THHN wire. They are also very un eye appealing to me but others like them.

Digital Delays Switch Panels are what I use and sell the most of in the last few years.

THHN is some of the best insulation available!Check your ampacity chart.

In case you guys didn't know - you can set it up on the left side with the dip switches so that some or all of the switches turn off when you turn the ignition off. It's a lot easier than swiping your finger across the whole board. I have mine set up to shut them all off when the ignition goes off, because I rarely ever have to leave the water pump and fan on, or anything else.

Mine has 2 fuel pumps but I dont use nitrous. It has only one switch for cooling Hi and Low. But on the back it has a plug in for a water pump. Do they both come on together? Or could I just put my water pump on one of the fuel pump switches, so I could turn on just my water pump?
