I've been using the Hyper PBS/PCR box for 9 months. It will start any motor and it's easy to setup. I use it with my Kyosho too.
The SPort Werks start box won't start my buddies SportWerk buggy with SportWerks .26 in it. What's with that?? He bought the same PBS box off eBay for cheap and it starts it no problem.
Here's mine. I installed a power panel to assist the 12V battery. I use it to start my 1/10 scale box to.

Nice to see you ditched the 2 7.2V packs in favour of the gel. But that is the US spec PBS/PCR box, mine is the UK spec hence the monstrous motor. They are both available individually but at around the same price as the Metal boxes, but these plastic ones take the drops a lot better.

i just put together an ofna 1/8th scale starter box with the 750 motor and it will turn my collari over no problem im useing a 12volt battery but i will warn you if you have never built a starter box before you are in for a real treat. ive never built one and it took me 3hours! the instructions suck and i mean bad. i ended up piching the instructions and finished it on my own and to my surprise it does work well. i just hope their car kit instructions are better than the box ones MAN!!!. but it will zing a fresh motor over well. if you buy it on the way home stop and grab a 12 pack youll need it![8D]

I use the OFNA box, not sure what it's name is, it's #10247 RTR. I had a Dynamite box before and it was the biggest pain in the ***** to get it to line up properly with my Kyosho. It's almost as if the OFNA was built for my MP777, fits right on and one push gets the VZ-B hummin.
