Starter?

[Planehazza]

Hey all,

I've just bought a second hand 600N thanks to marktigere1!

Anyways, since it's my first nitro, I'm in the market for a starter.

What do you lot think of these?

Fast Lad Performance

Ta!

Very good indeed starts a .50 first time! You might want to get the £99.99 one, it comes with a lipo

Cheers
Danny

Great call, you won't regret that decision.

I noticed Lee and many others use 24V starters with a 6S pack. Are these 12V starters just as good?

I modded a bog-standard starter to use a single 3 cell LiPo and it works really well.



Then I got an Align starter because they are so compact and light etc. But the wand quickly became worn and rounded. So I have had to go back to using my JP starter until I can replace the wand on the Align (I will not be replacing it with another Align wand I will drill a solid hex shaft to fit it and use a flat end rather than the ball.)

But most people seem very happy with the Align starter.

Cool thanks! I'll probs go for the align one as I have plenty of 3S 2300mAh packs.

Thanks all, much appreciated!

(this forum has cost me nearly £500 this week! )

My JP does the trick, but fancy the Align starter.

Just check the dimensions of the LiPos you have. The battery compartment of the Align starter is very tight, many Lipos won't fit.

Thanks trillian! The starters max batt size is 112x35x24mm according to the site. The LiPos I've just bought are 100x35x23, so it should just fit

Its bad ass, no probs turning over an aircraft carrier

[trillian]

Yeah, but I bet that puppy weighs twice what mine weighs.
