I have never had a problem with my losi box. starts my buggy and truggy all day with no problem. has a 4s in it and stays charged all day with like 20 starts on it.
did when my motor was brand new but once tuned right never had one. the problem was it didnt have enough power to turn it over. nothing breaking

Just doesn't have any power compared to the Ofna box. Even struggles to turn over my older engines that certainly aren't tight. I haven't used mine enough to say if it has any other issues. As soon as I realized how weak it was I went back to my Ofna boxes. I know they break belts a lot. They really should have just put the second motor in it. Nothing can touch a dual 775 motor box like the Ofna Truggy box. But that's just my opinion of it. I know guys that love them. Maybe I got a bad one. Even with a fresh lipo it was too weak for my liking. Stalling the wheel out on a well used OS is not something any box should do.

The 2 550's aren't enough either. I was having one hell of a time cranking over my go engines when they were new, even after heating the engine 10 minutes with a heat gun to 300F. Once i bought the dynamite starter boxes (one for buggy, one for truggy) with dual 775 motors i no longer had any issues what-so-ever. I got a good deal on them ($49.99/ea) so i figured i'd give them a try. I'm really glad i did, it makes starting so much easier, i don't even have to preheat my engines anymore, even though i should :/
