Default RE: Which lipo for driving a starter?

You guys got me thinking. I have five 28cc motors and my shoulder is not getting any younger! When one gets balkly my shoulder aches!

I have a cheap Hobbico Torquemaster 180 starter. After studying this thread I took it out of storage and tried it with a 5000 6 cell lipo. Oh my god was it wicked! I then scaled back to a Hobbyking 3000 4 cell nano tech. Worked great on my MLD28 engines. The photos are the finished product. A starter, small piece of plywood, 4 4/40 blind nuts, bolts, washers and cheap Hobbyking connectors.

Very light and very strong. Blew everything off the workbench when I tested it. Started the engine great even at 40 degrees!

Thanks guys.
