HUDY 104500 Low-Profile Start-Box for 1/8 Truggies  [HSP-104500]

Overview of the Start-Box

The HUDY 104500 Start-Box provides a straightforward starting solution for 1/8 off-road vehicles and truggies, combining a compact footprint with dependable performance. Its slim format helps when space at the setup bench is limited.

Build Details

Constructed from CNC-machined aluminum, the case and top plate are treated with a durable black finish. Screws sit recessed to avoid snags, while a composite handle and rear cover make handling easy. Higher plastic feet are included to suit taller truggy chassis.

Drive and Battery Compatibility

With a 775-type motor and cooling fan, the HUDY 104500 runs from two standard 7.2V NiMH stick packs or a LiPo 2S pack (batteries not included). The belt-driven system delivers steady starting power across varied conditions.

Practical Features

The starter wheel is a quick-change design that swaps out using three screws and can be positioned on either side. An integrated on/off switch plus a quality wiring harness with a fast-on connector allow easy hook-up without soldering.

For club racers and weekend drivers who want a compact, reliable starter, the HUDY 104500 offers a good mix of durability and convenience.
