farmergoggin Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) After my pull start has broke i am really thinking about getting this starterbox. Is this suitable for a hyper 7 .28? How long do starterbox's last for? Does this make have a good resale value? what esle would you recommend? thanks EDIT:forgot to say can put the pull starter back on with out the bobbin inside so it will cover the back? or do i require a back plate? Also whats the best way to remove the throttle servo that connects to the carb as i will be taking out the engine tommrow Edited April 12, 2008 by farmergoggin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmx50 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Most starter boxes are ok for all hypers, they have adjustable pegs so you can adjust them to suit your car, i have a entry level one (single motor) which is ok but looking back i wish i had brought a twin motor version, it works fine starting the car when warm but from cold you do need a nice charger up battery otherwise she struggles a little. The should last for a long while if you look after it. Not sure there re-sale value, check ebay........ If you can afford it go for a twin motor version, much better imo. Not sure about the back plate/cover....... As for throttle servo, just pop of the arm that connects at the carb end, its a little ball joint that just pops out with a little force. Hope this helps Edited April 12, 2008 by stephenmx50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmergoggin Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) say if i was too get a 12v battery how long would this last on average?

mc22x Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 say if i was too get a 12v battery how long would this last on average? Those smd boxes do look gd tho! Depends on how much you use it and how tight your engine is as a new engine will need more torque to get the fly wheel turning.But With my 12v volt i can usually get a full day in with out a charge.

Hyperhuggy Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Its a mistake using a 12v cell when you can run two 7.2v packs. Trust me it makes a difference. If you are talking about SMD box's , then yes they come with both 12v and 7.2v connections, well mine did at least. And even if they don't it would be pennies to make one.

farmergoggin Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 only reason i was going to use 12v battery cus it was cheaper than 2 packs of 7.2v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmergoggin Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 sorry again for the bump. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=29409 hows this compare to the smd starterbox? does it come with 12v ready cables? As i plan on buying loads of items from modelsport so i rather buy all from the same places so it makes it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperhuggy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 That is the equivalent of the dual motor SMD box , and yes it should come with 12v cables. But why don't you ring them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
