Starter box
Hiya,
My starter went on me this weekend !!!!
Could anyone recommend a starter box that is very torquey for the MTX 3, Was thinking of a twin 550 motors one, but they are useless with 12v supply. Looking for one that is powerful with 2 7.2v batteries and 12v supply.
Thanks

The best box we have found so far is the Mugen one itself. Got tons of torque and will crank over even the tightest of engines with ease. We ran 2 cars off one all day today with a 12v supply. The weather was really cold (about 5degC) so you can imagine how hard they were to get started when cold.

Wasnt running the new crankshaft. Will be running them hopefully at the first Irish National round. Today we were just bedding in the BRB sets and getting them up to running spec. The Serpent Ireland team driver was running the new mega today. I believe he qualified 6th and finished 7th or 8th.
We qualified 1,2,3 and to be honest we still havent unlocked the full power of the BRB set (first day running the new MTX3's). Temp was peaking at 230 - 240 deg (0.2 shim, still running on the rich side and not a mark or discolouration on the piston or button) and we were still pulling on the straight when we were coming off the throttle. We went up a tooth on gears and it helped but still a lot of power not being used yet. Going to hit the track next weekend again and go a couple of teeth higher on the pinions to harness that missing power.
All I can say is roll on August.

I use the associated box. it is universal in that the wheel can be mounted in 3 positions , the 770 motor can turn over new 21.s. I use it on a 235mm on road with a big block 15. they are pretty cheap, around 90.00. they have a very secure method of holding 2 packs or a gel cell and the pegs for securing the car on the box are very easy to adjust.
just my my 2 cents.

i would have to say go for the team associated box i have used my one now for just over 2 years with no problems, i use it for 1/10 and 1/8 cars. i just bought one for a club member and i think it was around 100 dollars with shipping for it.

Starter box
A Starter Box is basically a box with an electric motor in it that spins a big wheel. That wheel then spins the flywheel on your engine through the small cut out above the flywheel on the car's chassis. You place the car on top of the starter box and push the car down and it turns the engine over.

The only way it's possable to do a push, bump, jump (whatever word you want to use) start with a nitro vehicle is if the vehicle is a direct drive system (no clutch) and there are just not too many of them around.
Install an electric car starter
Basic Steps of Remote Start Installation:
When the rope's grip is pulled, the rope uncoils, tensions the spring, engages the clutch and turns the crankshaft, spinning it to crank or start the engine before the end of the pull stroke.
