Post hot grips
Anyone ever put a heated grip like on their mud motor. Was thinking about putting one on my pro drive cause that's only hand that gets cold running long distances

Mudbuddys came with them on the original Hyperdrives from 04-05, and they worked well.

I assume that it would work fine with the twist grip, but the wire that comes out of the grip is very small so you are going to need to find a way to protect it.

I put one on my gdsd, ran the + to a switch then to battery and the - to the frame of the motor. I wrapped the handle with tennis racket tape. One of the best upgrades to the motor yet. My hand stays nice and warn

I hate running a motor with gloves on cuz my hand cramps real bad. Mostly I just tough if out unless it is really cold, and then I use those 4-wheeler handle bar mittens. It works great and you dont have to have a glove on your hand.

I dont like thick gloves. I have a thin pair of gloves I got from oreillys. Going to get another pair for backup. They have the rubber palm and fingers but are a thicjer material. Must have a lil wool in em because I've got mine wet and wrung em out and put them back on. I guess I have a glove fetish. I always have some on.

I've used the same ones you buy to put on an atv and they work great. I've also made my own with constantan resistance wire. I don't like to wear gloves either, I usually just wear the real thin Under Armour gloves so a heated hand grip works wonders.
