Team Magic Metered Glow Starter Categories - Engines, Products, Team Magic, Tools - comments closed
CML Distribution in the UK have announced the release of the new metered glow starter from Team Magic . A nice looking tool, this version sports a meter on the top end to show if your plug is working or not and sports a knurled edge for easy grip. The shiney black coating looks really cool, and the orange spring is a nice touch, so for looks alone this would be a great glow starter.

Fastrax Tru-Start & Mini-Start Starter Boxes Categories - Fastrax, Off Road, Products, Tools - comments closed
Fastrax have released 2 more starter boxes to accompany their high end All-Start box we showed you previously. The first version, the Tru-Start, is for 1/8th scale buggies and truggies, and should also work with other cars with inline engines, and if it looks familiar then thats because it appears to be from the same factory as the SMD box we showed you back in January. The other box, called the Mini-Start, is for models such as the Xray NT18 touring car and truck, Jammin/Hong Nor CRT.5 and other small scale cars with inline motors and due to its small size has space for one 7.2v stick pack battery providing plenty of starting power for these smaller engines.
