The Tamiya 41075 External Electric Starter Kit makes lighting up glow engine rigs straightforward by removing the need for a recoil starter. The kit uses a compact gear unit system: insert the drive shaft into the gear unit, press the starter button and the engine will spin up for ignition with minimal fuss.
This kit ships with both A and B gear units to cover a range of FS-series motors including FS-12SS, FS-12SW, FS-12SWG, FS-12LT, FS-12LS, FS-15LT and FS-15S. A built-in FET switch and safety circuit help prevent overloads and protect the starter during repeated use.
To install, remove the existing recoil starter and fit the supplied gear unit in its place. Make sure the vehicle body has cutouts for the glow plug heater and for the starter shaft so you can start the engine without taking the body off. The unit requires a 7.2V battery and a compatible glow plug heater to operate correctly.
A practical upgrade for hobbyists who want a more reliable and user friendly way to start Tamiya-compatible glow engines.
