HARD H3 starter boxes

More starter boxes from H.A.R.D., with the release of the ultra compact H3 starter box, which is available for on or off road cars. The H3 sports a high revving 775 motor to kick start any engine on the market from .12 to .30 and beyond. With almost twice the power of standard 540 motors, this power plant has more than enough torque to get that piston off of top dead centre without a fight. The starting wheel is made of a high density rubberised material and sits well above the starter box surface to reach up and grab any size flywheel. The casing has been made from composite materials which are scratch resistant, fuel resistant and strong, yet lightweight for easy transport. Some other advantages of a moulded casing are built-in handles, adjustable chassis brackets, a convenient glow igniter holder, wrench holder and a non-conductive surface.
