Dynamite 1/8 Universal Starter Box
Honestly for how cheap and universal it is! ITS A MUST BUY! I run mine on 4s! Make sure you get a battery that’s perfect fit! The dimensions are in manual and online! Or do a 3s or dual 2s! Any losi wheel will fit and they’re $5 after they wear! Philips hardwere! Every piece sold individually

Dynamite 1/8 Universal Starter Box
Works good, but was a huge pain to get working. I am new to Nitro engines but I won't blame that on how difficult this thing was to get setup. The way the battery(s) are mounted in the box would work well for 2S shorty style batteries, but expect to make your own custom brackets if they're any bigger than that. I cut two pieces of aluminum to get the batteries mounted in the box. Also, the little nub in the middle of the top part of the box had to be removed for me to get the flywheel to contact the starter motor. Also, I had to install washers under the starter motor to get the start wheel to be where I needed it to be for my Tekno NB48.4 1/8 buggy.

All in all, it does work so I can't knock it for that. Perhaps this starter box is better for 1/10 scale. Either way it was a pain to setup, but it was the only option since most other starter boxes were/are on back order.
