Exellent starter! Have had mine a long time. The last few years it has had a 6s A123 pack powering it. A friend described it as "obnoxiously powerful." I always ask twice if the borrower is sure their engine is not flooded.<BR>

The highest capacity NiMhs available from P.A.C. were weak from the get go- so the owner(?) “Johnson “ reluctantly took them back. I replaced them with two 3300 NiMhs- better, but still not great. They require frequent recharges and after 2-3 cold first starts, it struggles to turn my 0S140RX . If you can , use high capacity Nicads( cheaper- may have to enlarge battery cradle) or Lipos. I find it also helps to keep a piece of sandpaper around to scuff up the black rubber insert so that it doesn’t slip on the spinner - better yet, ask for the silicone insert .</SPAN></FONT></P>

The frame below the starter that holds the batteries is made of painted plywood, you may want to fabricate your own (it's functional but devoid of any "bling" factor), and certainly you could configure it to use LiPo's if you wanted (mine had the NiMH batteries). The starter is also available without the batteries so you can design your own support if desired.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P></DIV>
