I am tired of yanking the pull start on my Ofna Force.25, which can't be adapted to a rotostart. As a result, I am planning on buying a starter box. Does anyone have any recommendations? It would be great if they made a light weight starter box, as I remember from my 1/8th on-road days how heavy these things are to lug around.

Unfortunetly the heavier ones are the better ones IMO. You want a box that has a single motor. A favorite at the track I race at is the OFNA Chrome Top. Its got one big motor in it and with a gel cell in it you'll get plenty of spin.

Someone else may know of a lighter one...I dont know of any decent light ones tjough...sorry.

The mugen box is great. It is very light, compact, and very powerful. It just won't accept a 12v you have to use to stick packs.

Ofna Crome top is the best on the market IMO turns over anything... My buddy had a brand new Collari .32 in his Buggy ( Hes Crazy and stupid i know) and it was TIGHHHT the roto start could turn it over i brought out my bump box and it turn it no problems..

and its a good thing that its heavy give your arms a work out while you bashing or racing..

i have an ofna chrome top with the power panel option for sale on rcu. its in very good condition. the wheel has seen little use. check out my ad # 186554. id like $65/obo plus s/h. or id like to trade for the starter box thats built for the losi ad2 xxx-nt. Tim

i thought u can use starter boxes on pull start engines?

you cant you will screw up the Pull start

it shouldn't harm the pullstart, i know many people who use bump starters on their pullstart engines. the one way bearing should make it fine to bump start, it's no different to having your engine running.

i use the ofna chrome top & love it. heaps of grunt & with the gel cell it lasts a long time between charges.

is ur buggy a pull start? and u use a bump or a box?

ofna blue base chrome top.wrong answer on a starterbox messin up a pullstart.been doing it for a year on my buggy no problem.

hmmm, ok well im going to try that out one day...

Chrome top gets my vote too.. Great stater box.

Thanks for all the feedback--will move ahead with starter box purchase.

The "Chrome Top" is OFNA part no. 10250. There is a better option, which is #10253. This is the same box, but with a power panel included. This gives you the ability to use a glow driver #92572, which operates directly off of the 12 volt gell cell battery in the starter box. This eliminates the need for a separate glow driver that uses AA, C, or D batteries (which die quickly compared to the giant 12 volt battery).
