so i went to wheelspinmodels and picked the car up today.
car looks great will put up pics asap.
only thing the car needs a starter box to start it,and i dont have one!
any way you cam start the car without one? if not whats the best one
to go for thats not going to cost an arm and leg!
thanks ryan.

also the cars come with a bettery pack,but no charger :( whats the best battery pack to get?
Matt - November 20, 2007 07:08 PM (GMT)
hi mate
so you need battery pack or charger?
if the car is bump start then you will need a starter box.
should be able to pick one up off ebay the smd ones are apparently really good
ryanuk - November 20, 2007 07:16 PM (GMT)
yeah mate its the charger i need, come with the battery in the car battery is
team magic 6v-700mah ni-mh
yeah its a bump start car,is that good or bad? bit gutted as i wanted to play with it tonite and didnt find out till i got the cars home.
thanks ryan

bump start is good because its reliable pull start and roto starts can give problems
so if your racing or planning to bump start is the way to go.
re charger try get one of these...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-TRAXXAS-REVO-3-3...emZ250188315412they are really good i use one of those to charge my receiver packs can work off 12v too so with a cig lighter adaptor you can run from your car
ryanuk - November 20, 2007 07:47 PM (GMT)
and that will 100% work with my battery? as im going to buy that one off ebay.

Just explain you didn't realise the Engine Mounting Difference until someone pointed it out to you.
The LRP On-Road is supposed to be Good as well. But of course, you could just ask them what they recommend.
Also... Don't forget you'll need a Battery of some kind for it and maybe a Charger for that battery.
