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.

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
I'm being very generous giving this product three stars as it's given me nothing but problems. For starters, it's not exactly universal out of the box. The starter wheel does not reach the flywheel on my RC8B4. I had to painstakingly add two washers to each screw on the motor mount to get the wheel high enough to reach. Secondly, the rubber wheel wears out super fast when breaking in an engine. It was shot after about 5 starts on my new Reds engine. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if changing the rubber wheel wasn't such a pain. However, after the modifications and replacement wheel, the product does it's job as advertised.
