Surestart for buggy and dynamite for truggy,
using cheap amazon lipos in both of them without issues. Dynamites wheel is a bit durable.

I use an LRP box with a 6A 12v lead battery. It is heavy, but it never fails.

Yeah, I run a 30 euro 4S pack, no problem. And if you know how to make a pack you can get 4 euro high current Li-Ion cells.

Beside that, 2 simple NiMh packs as most boxes are disigned with can be found for 12 euro a piece.

Not.

Yeah, I don't get it, especially if you have a 1/8 Nitro car, you usually have 1/8 Electric cars running 4S already. So you can just use old, worn out 4S packs, no need to buy a new one.

I feel like an idiot but its been awhile. I have a Tekno EB48 and ET48 with Blok Engines. I have the starter boxes and everything but its been about a about 2 years since I used them. I for get wich way the fly is suppose to turn to start them. Need to setup the boxes to start them.

Also have a Touring car need to set up a box for that.

the clutch bell gear and the spur should turn in towards each other from the top. Or looking at the front of the engine, counter clockwise.

As stated above the Protek wheel wears fast. It’s a great box except for that factor but I ended up getting a mugen wheel for it and have had no wear issues with it.

got a part number for the wheel as this wheel really soft and does wear damn fast, is it a direct fit
