Starter box

[Jato360]

Which one fits, works well, and is relativly cheap?

Thanks

I have the Ofna 1/10th scale It's $80 but it comes with everything you need (Except charger). Even a glow plug ignitor. I really like it.

Going starter box is expensive. It only cost me ~$90 for the Jato. But I think I've spent around $200 for the revo.

Note: You do not need a backplate. But I suggest the Maximizer Backplate. It's great.

I use this one.

works great for everything I have that can use a starter box.

The Dynamite Ready Start is a good choice. It is also pretty small and lightweight if you use two stick packs, but it has the option of using a 12v battery without rewiring. I used one with my truggy, slightly modified for more power to kick over the big .21 engine.

I use the Ofna Blue Box. It fits the JATO perfectly, has a bigger more powerful motor, and it's not pink.

I may have to pick that one up. my wife always tells me it is "cute" that I have a pink starter box....

[jrfink]

Oh, I agree. It is cute. It would look great with a Teddy Bear sticker on it.

I looked at that one, but the motors don't have enough oomf for my liking. The 3.3 needs some power to turn it over. Especially a new one.
The blue box is made for big blocks. The 3.3 almost fits that category.

[Jato33Racer]

The Ofna 1/10th scale has two 550 motors. Thats more then enough to turn over the 3.3!

[myrevoisthebest]

with a 12 volt battery

The Ofna 1/10th scale has two 550 motors

Yeah, they'll probably turn it over. Like I said though not enough for me, I like the power in the Blue Box. I'll probably use it for bigger engines some day anyway.

[chickenhawk]

Did that work?

[Jato33Racer]

Spray Paint it and then its any color you want. ...Anodized starterbox

[myrevoisthebest]

i wanted that box but my mom said its girley so i got the ofna one but im gonna get that box soon

[Jato360]

Thanks for the replies, so the pink one looks the business, im kinda new to starter boxes, ive always used the ez start or pull starts on my other cars. Are there things heavy? and can you carry them around very easily?

[Jato33Racer]

Around 5 lbs usually. It really depends on the box and what battery you have in it. The 12v batteries are heavy.

[jrfink]

Mine has a 12v battery in it and it's pretty danged heavy. I can handle it as long as I eat a nutritious breakfast first.
