Default Which Starter

My brand new CRRC 26cc won't hand start. It doesn't even pop at all. It feels very tight while flipping the prop. My guess is I need to use an electric starter until the engine is broken-in. I have never owned an electric starter. Which one should I buy? The Hobbico and Tower ones claim they are powerful enough to start a 1.8 cu-inch engine (which is 29.5cc). The Sullivan one claims it can do 40cc with 24 volts, but it is very expensive and I only have a 12V battery. Budget is tight right now. Are Tower Hobbies or Hobbico strong enough?

Hobbico TorqMaster 180 Deluxe $40
Sullivan Dynatron is a Heavy-Duty, Super High-Torque $100
Tower Hobbies TOWER Power Starter 12V Heavy Duty $28
