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.

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.

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.
