Add Electric Start to your DLE 60cc Gas Engine

 

 

 

 

Specs:

Total Weight - 19oz. (540g)

550 Brushed Motor

 - Input 3-15V (3-cell lipo recommended)

 - We recommend the optional controller for ease of use. 

Use on DLE60 Twin Only

Things you NEED to know: 

Some disassembly and assembly is required. It is suggested that you are comfortable working on your motors. You will need to remove your prop hub. You will also need to install a gear with a one way bearing. Basic mechanical mentality/skill is suggested. No instructions included.

 

Add electric start to your bird. No more flipping a prop. Simply assign it to a switch and start your motor with the push of a butting/flip of a switch. Drive gear incorporates a one way bearing so power is not transferred back to the motor. 

 

 

This starter is made specific for the DLE 60 twin only. 

 

We are currently ignoring the tons of e-mails asking if they fit any other engine.

 

No instructions included. Grease your gears (lightly) after assembly, use a good sticky grease oil will not be enough. DO NOT operate without a prop.

Tech notes: Here is some info/suggestions based on some things we have seen or been asked about over the years of selling these starters. 

 

The two most common concerns with the starter seem to be controller related. Most common question is the LED on the controller just blinks and starter is dead. This is a lack of signal issue, the fix is to open the end points on the channel the switch is assigned to. Some radios you will need to reverse the channel the switch is assigned to. The second most common question is the starter quits after a few seconds. This is normal, it is a safety feature built into the controller. The controller will only activate for about 2 seconds. This is so the starter and engine are not both running at the same time. But if the switch is turned on while the engine is running the controller will engage the starter again (bearings and gears are available below).

 

- Use a good sticky grease, wheel bearing grease is adequate. To much will make a huge mess. The idea is to add a little protection to the gear teeth so they do not chip. We have seen folks use so much grease it collects under the hall sensor and stops ignition. Use just enough to wet the gears.

 

- Do not use a 4 cell Lipo. The controller can handle the watts of a 4 cell but the starter motor will burn up, fairly quickly. Use a 3 cell Lipo or LiFe pack. Anything that can deliver bursts of 60 Amps.

 

- The magnets on the starter motor are pretty strong. They can pick up washers, screws, etc off your bench. Then once the motor is activated the debris can damage the starter motor (spares available below). So work on a clean surface and check out your work when done. 

 

- A hammer is not a recommended tool for installing a starter. Parts are a pretty solid fit with the oneway bearing being the tightest. On DLE engines you might find a ton of lock-tight around the crank, scrape or sanding this off will help with parts fitment. 

 

Suggested to use a 3 cell lipo, This 1800mah is a good one.

 

Can also be activated with 40-60Amp Brushed ESC's, external manual switches, and servo operated switches
