Reliable Electric Ignition with Tamiya 41075

The Tamiya 41075 External Electric Starter Kit offers a straightforward alternative to recoil starting, using a gear drive assembly to spin the engine for ignition. Engage the drive shaft with the gear unit and press the starter button to get the motor turning promptly.

Compatibility and Onboard Protection

Supplied with both A and B gear units, the kit fits a selection of FS-series engines including FS-12SS, FS-12SW, FS-12SWG, FS-12LT, FS-12LS, FS-15LT and FS-15S. The built-in FET switch and safety circuit reduce the risk of overload and provide consistent performance.

Fitting Notes and Required Equipment

Remove the original recoil starter and fit the provided gear unit in its place. Ensure the body shell has the necessary openings to accommodate the glow plug heater and starter shaft so you can operate the starter without removing the shell. The starter is designed to run from a 7.2V battery and needs a compatible glow plug heater.

Specifications

  • Voltage: 7.2V
  • Compatible Engines: FS-12SS, FS-12SW, FS-12SWG, FS-12LT, FS-12LS, FS-15LT, FS-15S

A sensible retrofit for modelers seeking a dependable electrical starting method for Tamiya-compatible glow engines.

Are spare gear units available if I wear one out?

Spare A and B gear units are useful to keep on hand. If a gear shows wear, replacing it restores proper engagement and avoids damage to the starter shaft or engine output.

Can I use this starter with a heavy duty glow plug heater?

Yes, the starter works alongside compatible glow plug heaters, but ensure the heater is suited to your engine and that wiring and connectors handle the combined current draw.

What should I do if the starter stalls under load?

If the starter stalls, check battery charge and connections, inspect the gear alignment, and confirm the safety circuit has not tripped. Replace worn gears and avoid excessive cranking periods.

Will this unit fit sealed or tight fitting bodies?

It can fit sealed bodies provided there are cutouts for the glow plug heater and the starter shaft. Otherwise trimming or removing part of the shell may be necessary to gain access.
