PowerTork starter

[Ken Thompson III]

Thanks for all of the info, the Pacific Aero was the other one I was looking at.  A couple of guys at our field have them and their real happy with them, also.
Thanks again,
Ken

  I'll agree with Eric here. The one I got is the Pacific Aeromodels starter with the 3000 mah nimh packs. (Same as Winner R/C) This is about the best starter I've ever used. I also like it because it's pretty small, and has that huge soft cone. 

  Anyway, that's the one I'd recommend. It sure blows a Kavan away. 

  FWIW I didn't particularly like the CH starter either.

    I have one, and well it is good to have as a back up to your number one starter.  It will crank up to say a 140 size but the gear drive is loud and not very smooth.  It has 2 motors gear driven into one output drive.  And for engine's like the O. S. 140RX which needs a bit of RPM to spin up the pump it lacks in the RPM needed.

    Looked good when I saw it but would not get if again for my number one starter.

    Just got the compact starter from Winner R/C.  It comes with 2 7.2 batteries in the handle.  You have the choice of either 1500ma or 3000ma. If you were to get one  I would get the one with the 3000 ma batteries versus the 1500 ma batteries. Plenty of torque and spins very fast and smooth.  Also comes with a larger cone that gives a better fit on your spinner.
