Default Electric starter problem

Hi,

I'm using hobbico electric starter: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXL396

and power core setup: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXL372&P=ML

with this totally new battery: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXL373&P=V

It doesn't spin my OS 75AX only when I'm spinning the starter first and than hitting the spinner only then it turns and starts the engine.

1. is it the starter showing its end?

2. is this battery gonna power a stronger heavy duty starter like this one: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJC37&P=7

I'm thinking about getting that heavy duty starter with a small car/motorcycle battery but it has its draw backs like keeping an acid container in the car...


Thanks
Alex
