Starter Box for Revo with GRP .21 tunned line engine?

[Bartek]

Hi,I just got a monster of the enignes!
GRP .21 Buggy/Truggy/Truck tuned line engine
but sadly it needs starter box to start it as there is no place for pull start or roto start so my only choice is a Starter Box :\
so what would be a good starter box for Revo with GRP .21 engine?
that engine is a racing engine and it's big block so it has lot's of compression etc so the motor is starter box should be strong...
looking for something affordable and I don't wanna spend too much money on it.

Ofna makes one called the T start $90.00 1 775 motor I think
RD Logics make one for Revo $140.00 1 775 motor I think
RD Racing used to make one,sometimes can still find one on ebay Dual motors $50.00 $100.00 used
You can convert a standard box to fit ther Revo.See Traxxas website for instructions.Fabrication required.

Will Ofna T Starter be enough powerful to start GRP 21?

They claim any motor you can put in there.Break in is always tough but after that it would be fine.You should heat up the case for break in anyway.

 

[Bartek]

do starter boxes brake often?

nope they only ever need charging, unless you burn out / wear out the motor or rubber on the starting wheel.
