Default RE: EZ-start ?

this is an instruction set that modifies the ez-start hand wand to use the battery in your street truck to start your r.c. truck. it will put 12 volts to your starter on your r.c. truck. I can not be sure that it will not harm your ez-start system. however I have been using this mod for 9-10 mo. with no trouble. my r.c. starter has never overheated, and I have cranked it a lot with no trouble. do this mod at your own risk. by using this instruction set you are taking on all risk. now a list of things you need.
1.radio shack. wire 278-567. 18 gauge speaker wire.
2.radio shack. cigarette lighter plug. 270-070.
3.dura trax. battery connector and wire. dtxc2260. radio shack has this connector with out the wire. but its easier to use the dura trax
4.for reference ez-start hand wand traxxas #5280. about $14
round up all the parts. first cut a hole in the wand cover. between the belt clip and end of the cover, NOTE: this mod may NOT be for every one. if you cant get you your street truck close to where you bash/race it may not be a good mod for you.
