Replacement Starter

[notaping]

Anyone tried RaceTech's alternative starter?

Looking to replace the current one as it appears to be shorting to ground when I press the button.

I've just had a Wosp starter fitted on the recommendation of Jason @ Str8Six.

So far, so good.

Good to know. I've ordered one from Demon Tweeks. £50 less than Racetech. It's still a lump of money for a starter, but I've lost faith in Motaclan after a couple of purchases this year which were not fit for purpose. I'm very reluctant to buy a standard starter from them - hence going for the Wosp.

Will report back when it's fitted.

I've got one as well, fitted by Str8Six, had it a couple of years, all good so far

Fitted the Wosp and also added an Optima Red Top to the equation. Spins brilliantly now. All set for next spring. SORNed for winter.

The racetech one looks just the wosp unit as its got that billet machined motor / gearbox housing. Obviously this will cost more to manufacture than a cast part so that cost will be passed onto the customer. There is no failure associated with the cast housings.

I've fitted a OEM equivalent thats been great for half the price, its not struggling to crank the engine and being the OEM spec of power means it wont drain the battery as quickly as these higher powered more expensive units.

I've listed them on ebay if you want to save some cash - I've supplied a few now with no complaints. Feel free to get in touch
