As starter boxes go.

Yupp those would work too.

Jombo do me a favour, once if you get the box, just weigh it for me. I sometimes walk to my bash spot, and the weight has been the only thing stopping me from getting one. The battery weighs around 6LB I think, not sure tho.

And
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/11556
I have the ST-1, and HPI MT2, and a 1/10th On Road Touring car, so I want a box that can work with all of them

its really small and narrow, if you read the reviews most people who have it use buggies, i didnt want to take a chance of it fitting the truck so just got the bigger box. it is definitly light though without batteries. its like carring a gallon of fuel around,really light. its like 13 or 14 inches long and 7 or 8 inches wide and where the engine is on our chasis you would need to have half the truck to one side.

Worked just fine with my ST-1. My friend uses it with his hyper 7, when my pullstart broke when i had the stock TT .28 I used his box and my motor was still new nearly impossible to turn over. Does a great job!!I love how small it is, but I am not having issues with spinstarter on my mach 427 so not really in the market for a starterbox.

its snowing here too , i just finished a run with the st1 and the snow started to come down, . at least i got 2 tanks through it to test my setup, the shock oil is a little too stiff i am gonna change it to 25wt all around. it was running a bit sluggish but thats probably because its cold though. it was so funny it was jumping every time i hit a bump and it it was like instead of absorbing the bump it just hit it like a jump because the ground is frozen. i mean little bumps like 3 or 4 inches, every time it hit one it would fly 2 ft in the air.

Ya Hyper 7 is a buggy. I am saying though that it works with my ST-1 though. Next time I am at his house I will have to remember, definitely is small, still works just fine.

I've had my ST1 for a week now and I have 10 - 12 tanks through it. Now it starts and idles fine until you give it gas. Then it dies. A couple of times of this and then it won't start at all until you let it sit for a while. Any ideas?
