Default Starter boxes

Ok, I've performed my search in all forums and nothing came up, so here it goes.

Currently I have a Super RS4 w/ an OFNA Force .26 crammed into it. While its a blast to drive, I really need to get rid of my pullstart. I purchased a Dynamite Starter box (the one with the chrome top). Its claims to be designed for 1/8 scale buggy engines, so I got it. Problem is, with a full charge, all it does is spin the rubber wheel against the flywheel creating dust. Seems that the engine has too much compression, but will start normaly when yanked by a pullstart. Now I'm not an idiot when it comes to R/C or starter boxes. I've been running both for over 3 years.

What I'm asking from you guys is what starter boxes do you use to turn your big block engines. Anyone with a Force .26 would be especially helpful.

if the starter wheel spins and spins but doesnt turn the engine over, than you need to make contact with the flywheel harder. if the engine has too much compression, then the starterbox motor will not even turn over.

If the enigne is fairly new, you can heat it up with a blow dryer, that will help on a cold engine. You can also loosen the glow plug up until it starts. Dont forget to tighten it back up or you will hit 300 degrees fast!
