          Same setup as I have Daren.

          In the very recent past I have spent far too much money buying "Second Rate" starters and wands especially for the 90 size engines.

          Martin.

          When you bought your T-Rex 500 you never thought that you would have a 50 size nitro at this early stage in your new hobby.

          Just think in similar time you could be asking the same question "Which 90 size nitro shall I buy"

          Then you will be wanting a better starter once again.

          Buy once buy right, They do cost a packet but believe me I went the long way round costing me loads, Take a tip from me, Buy the Dynatron along with a decent wand "ie" Robbe heavy duty" and save yourself a packet..

            I agree with Tim here. I went through 3 cheap starters before I got my Dynatron. If you can afford it then go for it. But I still think a cheap hi-torque will do for now if a Dynatron is a bit too expensive or if you don't have aspirations to buy a 90.

            If you have the cash, get a Dynatron.

              DYNATRON !!!
              Lots of money, but will last you forever or buy a cheaper one and replace it when it fails ?

                  That was new and got it from here @ The model heli store for the price of £72,but unfortunatly they are out of stock at the moment.

                  If Sy can do it at that price I'm sure you could get it for that elsewhere,or just give Sy a call.

                  I tried a friends starter at the weekend as I had just packed mine away and just wanted to turn the engine but it would not even budge my 90 engine whereas it does his 50 with ease.

                  Get a good starter from the start as people are saying

                    OK,I have been looking around and can find it @ helibits]for £79

                    Rocketcityracing.com here, have it listed for $85.07 with the tax and I bet the shipping would not be too expensive either so maybe a deal to be had their.

                    PROBUILD,wow £67 and that looks like it includes VAT.Damn wait it is not in stock.
                    Really worth keep checking back on this site for this deal.Would help if I put the link in

                    Loads sell it and most at ridiculous prices.Dont even bother with the big names if you want a deal.

                      im not a fan of cordless drills. they generally dont spin fast enough to give reliable starting i know some use em but its got to beat the crap out of the one way!

                      i have a sullivan hi-torq running on 2x 7ah sealed lead acid batteries connected in parrallel to give 12v 14ah.

                      the battery is an important part a single 7ah just doesnt cut it as the voltage drops too much under load. i have seen them pull 30amps stalled!

                      that will start 50s and 90s but hasnt got so much power that it will bend the conrod in a flooded 90.
