Default RE: electric starter

I got tired of the heavy battery in the flight box. I bought (2) 2400mah nimh packs for R/C cars, wired them together and mounted the pack on the starter. No cords to get caught in the prop too. It starts ever engine I have except the Saito 1.20 and I hand flip that one.

Down side to this setup is you need a charger that will handle the size of pack.
