hi i was looking at the hpi glow plug initor and at tower hobbies it says it need to be charged for 10 hours... so when you start up your truck and you turn it off does it still have enough power to turn it on or you have to charge it for 10 more hours??????

it will have enuff power for 100+ starts, after the initial 10 hour charge

hey how about the roto start 2????? with a 2000mah 6cell 7.2 batt

If you are having engine issues, you could blow through the 7.2 pack in an hour (tuning, break-in trouble, etc).

If you are starting 7-10 times per bash session, the 7.2 pack could last many days. Most hobbyists have a backup 7.2 pack and a 20 minute quick charger.

Also, a cheap 4 dollar alkaline-powered glow ignitor is a good backup to the rechargable glow ignitor, too.

I bring 2, 7.2 stick packs with me everytime i go to bash just in case. Sometimes I need the other battery, but my batteries are like 15 years old so they don't last

New batteries will last alot longer, but what I'm saying is get/bring 2 just in case. If you rode your bike 10 miles from home with all your gear in a back pack it sucks when you can't start the car!!
