My Posts This: Topic Forum | Are the starters very reliable ?Wayne,When they work, they are great, just stand back and hit the switch, there is a fair amount of setting up to get it spot on
Downside, the single motor starters all develope problems, in retaining the capasity to spin the motor fast enough,I have tried the 3cell lipo, and this did not work for me, HobbyParts made a 2 starter conversion plate, with the 2 motors it works better, but I did the 2 starter conversion only a short while ago, and now I have stripped the whole lot out and gone back to pull start
With the price at just under £300.00,replacement starter motors at £45.00, add the 9.6 volt battery at about £30.00, it starts to get expensive for something that goes wrong on a regular basis, once it goes down thats flying finished for the day
It may seem that I may just be unlucky, but I have 3 second hand starters in the drawer in the workshop, taken out of machines belonging to other people, so it is not just me
