Default RE: 1/4A & 1/8A starter

Hi BipeFlyer,

You say the Miller has too much torque for .010 and .020? What are the recommended RPM and torque settings to start an .010 or .020, how do you test the torque of a starter? Reason I ask, I have a Miller that I planned to run off a 10 cell NICAD pack for .010 and .020, in addition to a homemade starter. Here are some pics and specs of my 1/2a starter, made for me by a hobby shop owner back in Dallas.

Specs:
Old 480 Mabuchi can motor
4.8v 600 mah Nicad
DPDT switch from Radio Shack
PVC
Heater hose for starting cone
Aluminum adapter (cut on lathe)
