Fwman and I were trying to start his G38 the other day. All either of us had was the HD Hobbico starters. He had a motor cycle battery and the starter would not turn the G38 over. We went over to his F150 with the motor running. The 14V was enough to fire that G38 right up. It was cold in the 40's outside. So a good battery does make a difference.

Enjoy,
