Ok so this project is really getting to me and I am totally losing my mind. Please tell me what to do as I'm now confused and frustrated and just want to get this over with and take a nice long break from this plane.
a car battery can deliver some serious amps
this is what really confuses me.
I've got the Tower Heavy Duty starter, two Venom 7.2v 3000mah batteries, and the wrong size starter cone. I have an OS 120AX and a YS FZ110s. These are two kick***** engines so I want a kick***** starter to fire them up.
Do I get more mah, more volts, or both, or keep what I have and just get the big cone?
Thanks. I'm done! [&o][:@]
By the way, I REALLY LOVE to fly airplanes!!!

Since you already have the Venom batteries, they will work FINE...
Wire them up in series to get 14.4v, and get the larger starter cone.
The larger cone has a larger lever moment so the energy from the starter gets transferred properly.
Right now what your doing is akin to trying to pry out a nail with a jeweler's screwdriver... the lever is TOO SMALL!
The larger cone will give a better grip as well... but ALWAYS use the running start.
