ORIGINAL: the iceman

Tower hobbies seems to only sell starter boxes that have around 750 single motor or dual 550. There might be 1 or 2 exceptions. However, i only need this starter box for the new car im going to add to my garage this summer (1/10 Team magic g4s on road w/ .12 engine), so 750 seems like a good size motor, but please correct me if i am wrong, i have never had a starter box. I also hope it will work with my mt2 as well because then i will only need to carry 1 starter.

is this the starter u have with some sticker on it http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCUC2&P=0

will it affect the engine, if i have too powerful of a starter box

Yep that is the starter box I have. I do not know if this is so but the only thing I would worry about a to strong of a motor in a starter box would be if you flood it weather it could hurt anything in the engine or if the wheel on the box would just slip? Keep in mind this all so is my first starter box so I am far from and expert. I do think for 1/10 scale the 750 or whatever engine should be OK. Keep us posted on your experiences with starter box and I will do the same.
