Nosram Racing Starter Box

Nosram have released this new powerful starter box for starting motors up to a .32 size and can be configured to start any 1/10th or 1/8th scale car thanks to its adjustable wheel fixing and alignment bracket. The single motor is powered by 2 standard 7.2V 6-cell stick packs which deliver enough power to handle even new big block engines on their very first start while a special battery fixing system is ready to accept the 7.2v batteries of your choice with no tools needed to install them. Due to an On/Off-switch at the back of the starter box, the manual disconnection of the batteries is not needed after use. Additionally the Nosram racing starter box includes a magnet to securely hold your small metal parts such as body clips, screws, etc.
