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.
