What starter box??

[highflyin]

What starter box should i get for my RC10gt?I have prolly broken 3 pullstarts and i am tired of it.The one i just broke costs $37.00 so i figured i should invest in a starter box.Which is better 1 motor or 2 motor.Price isnt a issue i just dont really wanna pay more than $80.00 on the box. Which one should i get?

I use this box for my 1/8 buggy and it rocks turns over my RB Ws7 11 with out a problem.

starter box

That starter box is for 1/8th scales.The RC10GT is a 1/10th scale.

 

[El Pirata]

The major difference between 1/8th and 1/10th scale starters is the torque behind the starter itself. Buying a 1/8th starter does not necessarily mean you can only start 1/8th rc's. Error has a 1/10th and it starts his 1/8th buggy just fine. It's a matter of the starter in question. The one Ryhton suggested is a good starter box.

Will that on start the RC10gt?

 

[mcvickj]

You would have either have to adjust the doughnut or just put the RC10GT on the box sideways. Either way it should start it without any problems.

 

[Ryhton]

the wheel can be mounted in two diffrent directions. it is only a suggestion so wait and see what others come up.

i have an ofna starter king, it starts 1/8 and 1/10 =D

 

[highflyin]

Ok thanks for the suggestion.Has anyone ever tried an RC10gt on that box?Any other suggestions?

 

[Skyline Racer]

i havnt tried 1/10 on it yet, but if ofna says it does.. i believe em'

 

[highflyin]

Ok thanks do you have a link to it?

 

[Skyline Racer]

OFNA King Starter box. Very nice, also the chrome top is good to, but it might not be able to start 1/10's


buying a 1/10 and a 1/8 compatiable starterbox will be the best in the end. if you move on to 1/8 scales. later man

 

[highflyin]

How long does the battery usually last before it dies?

 

[Skyline Racer]

umm.. i believe i heard it lasts for about 35 ish starts.. i might be wrong, but just know that it lasts LONG =D

 

[mcvickj]

If you have a properly tuned engine a gell cell battery will last you for a long time.

Thanks everyone.I am going to check out the race track and see what everyone is useing on their GTs and decide from there.

I use the Dynamite starter box. I love it. The reason I don't like the Ofna one is because of the top plate is held on by one screw in the front and that allows the plate to wobble a little. The box that I have has two towers that the car sits on and you push the rear end down it make the motor turn. The difference between an 1/8th and 1/10th box is power. The box I have starts my buddies gt just fine. He has the same box. Also when you build the box you just put the motor in sideways instead of lengthwise.

Check horizon or tower hobbies for the box

Good luck
