Default RE: Hobbico Starter

I have one of those and thought the same thing, then when testing it by holding the cone, melted the wires to the power panel.  I replaced the wires with 12 gauge from the battery to the panel and now it will spin up my DLE20 without a problem.  Changing the wires from those thin 18 gauge to 12 gauge made a huge difference in the starter.  The one I have is made for the power panel with the coiled cable and banana plugs.
