I have this piece of junk duratrax 1/10 scale starter box it's do for replacement. The switch to activate the unit caught on fire and burnt. The wiring has caught on fire twice and I've gone through about 4 motors. My little Novarossi cx.12 has a large amount of compression, it is a race engine. Like most race engines the little small block is very stubborn to start. I really have to crank and crank to get the engine warm like to fire up. I have found out that I was using a glow plug that was to cold. So this coming racing season I want to start with a new box. I'm tired of wasting money on starter box parts when I could just get a decent box. Now I have heard that the dual motor boxes have more torque but since the horror of the last box I am thinking just one motor would be nice, less wiring, less things to catch fire. What is a good inexpensive box that can be used for both a XXX-NT and a RC10GT without much effort?
I've had my eye on the Integy box with the dual 750 motors. Sure its over kill but it would be nice. I would like something much cheaper in price though.

Things I am looking for in a starter box are. Light weight (I have to carry it every where), Alligator clips (I like hooking the box to my car battery for max juice), Reliable (why I need a box in the first place) and low cost.
