Best glow starter?? Is there such a thing?

[frayz]

Hey guys.

At the moment i have a small hend held rechargable glow starter that i use when racing my RC truck. It fits on the 90 fine and starts it okay.

Would i be better off for any reason going to a remote starter with a separate lead and separate battery?

Is there something that seems to be the best bit of kit out there?

ie: my starter Sullivan Dynatron starter is said to be the best starter available, as is the robbe starting wand with one way bearing.

Is there a best glow starter?

Last time I started my rappy50, I used one of these:
JP MICRO-PRO POWER PANEL, paired with LOCK ON STEEL GLOW CLIP SHORT and an extension lead

I like the look of the 12v starter
saves me messing about then


Im using an Oddessey PC680 gel race battery for the starter... got plenty of minerals in it for the 90

I noticed at nuneaton, that many of the people there had strapped batteries onto their 12v starter. This makes things more portable. I have the 2in1 and a starter with a 3800 11.1v lipo (made of two crap trex450 packs) strapped on the side. It works great for my 50, maybe not a 90 though.
Once you made your starter portable, then its quite attractive to have an onboard glow like the 2in1 - but the current from the 2 in 1 may not be up to running the 90 electrics. I noticed the trex700 proto is using a 2in1 so maybe they are bringing an uprated 2 in 1 out with that bigger heli which would be interesting.

Whats the 2 in 1 mate? is that like an onboard ignition system?
