ArrowSharkTS760AEStarterforGasCars
StartingaGasEngineHasNeverBeenSoEasy!
Owner’sManual
TheTS‐760Aisheavy‐dutyequipmentwith mostmaincomponents being CNCbilletfinished
andanodized in threemaincolors ‐ PopularTitanium,JetBlackandBrilliantRed ‐ tosuit
variouscolorsusedingasengines andRCcars.
TheTS‐760A is powered byan OEM760serieshigh‐torqueand high‐rpm electricmotor with
an11.1voltLIPObattery;thisdeliversexcellenttorquefor enoughpowerto start gas engines
upto60cc. Aclever designof gearbox seal retains greaseinsidethe casingto protectthegears
fromoverheating and wear, andtodeliverhigherreliabilityandlongerlife.
A uniquetwo‐leveldrivesystemefficientlyavoids geardamage ‐ even withlongtermusage.
The firstlevelbelt‐drivesystemsoft‐transfersallthe rpm andtorquefromtheelectricmotor
tothesecondlevelgear‐drive tostartyourgasenginewithinasecond.TheTS‐760Ahas five
built‐inbearings for stableanddurable performanceofthe shaftsandgears. A highquality
one‐waybearingis filledwithgreaseandhasbeen tested upto 100 timeswithoutfailing.Itis
installedinside ahardened alloyadaptorwhichallows foreasymaintenance or replacement.
The ‘Press‐On’ switchthatcomeswith the TS‐760Akitis ofpolishedalloy andiscompletewith
pre‐weldedwires.Asinglepressisallyouneed tostartyourengine.Thisone‐pressswitch
approachhasthebig advantage ofnotrequiringathreechannelRCsystem.Ourlong
establishedE‐Starterfor boatsnecessarilyusesthird‐channeloperationtore‐startboatsthat
havestoppedoutonthewater.Carscanusuallyberetrievedandre‐startednomatterwhere
theymightstop.However, we do offeranoptionalremote‐startingupgradekitifyouwishto
startyourRCcar from your transmitterthatwillbeavailablesoon!

PerformanceTips
PowerSwitchStarting
ThestockversionoftheTS760AStarterKitcomeswithapolishedalloypowerswitchfor
manualstarting.Youwillneedtocorrectlyconnectallthewiresandan11.1VLIPO
batterytothestarterkitaccordingtothefollowingphoto:
YoucanarrangeandorganizethepowerwirestoanypositioninyourRCvehiclethat
bestsuitsyourapplication;makesurethoughthatthelocationwhereyoustorethe
batterywillnothitthegroundshouldyourRCcarflip.

StartingaColdEngine
Afterallthewireconnectionshavebeencorrectlysetup,youarereadytostartyourengine.
Beforedoingso,ensurethelowandhighspeedmixtureneedlesareadjustedtothefactory
recommendationfromyourenginemanufacturer.Thenyouwillneedtoclosethechokeon
yourcarburetorandpresstheprimerbulbtopumpthegasupfromthetank.Onceyouseethe
gasflowingintothecarburetor,presson thepowerswitchfornomorethan3seconds.Ifyou
thenheartheenginestartingtofire,openthechokeandpressthepowerswitchonemoretime
–yourengineshouldstart.
Whenstartingawarmengine,youdon’tneedtoclosethechoke;justsimplypressonthe
powerswitchforlessthan3secondsandtheenginewillstart.
Whyoperatethestarterfornomorethan 3secondseachtime?
Thisisbecausethepeakelectriccurrentfromthebatterytothemotorisachievedinthosefirst
fewseconds; afterthatthepeakpowerofthemotorreduces.Iftheenginehasnotstartedinthis
time(itusuallydoesifproperlytuned),pauseforafewsecondsbeforetryingagain–forupto
anotherthreeseconds.Thatpauseallowsthebatterytoagaindeliveritsmaximumcurrentfor
themotortoachieveitshighestperformance.Iftheengineiswarm,youwillneedonlyone
secondtostartit.
TroubleShooting
If gashasbeenflowingintotheengineyetitdoesnotstart,itmighthavefloodedwithtoo
muchgasinside.Ifthishappens,removethesparkplugandholdaragoverthesparkplughole.
Turnonthestarterfor5to10secondstopumpouttheextragasfrominsideofthecylinder.
Thenreinstallthesparkplugandtryagain.

GreasingtheGears
The TS760A isdesignedwithabuiltingearboxthatretainsgreaseinsidefordurablegear
performance.Pleaseregreasethemaingearsandtheonewaybearingevery1520hoursof
TS760Aoperation.
FittingtheTS760AtoBaja5B
TheTS760AEStartercanbedirectlyboltedontoHPI,Rovan,KM5B,5CSand5Twithout
anymodification.Itiseasiertofititona5Bwithoutabodycover,althoughitcanstillbe
installedwithasmallmodificationcutonthecover pleaseseethepicturesbelowfor
comparisonsofinstallationwithandwithoutabodycover.

Note:Wesuggestcoveringtheholesonthecoolingfanareaoftheelectricmotorifyoufitthe
TS760Aona5BtypeBaja.Thisisbecause,onthe5B,theelectricmotorisexposedoutside
thevehiclewithoutanybodycoveronit,andsoitmightgetstonechipsintotheelectricmotor
viathefanareaholeswhichcoulddamagethemotor.Coveringtheholeswouldbetterprotect
themotor.Themotorisoperatedforonlya fewsecondsatatimesoevenwiththefanholes
coveredthemotorwillnotoverheat.

FittingTS760AtoLosi5IVET
Fitting withstockmuffler
IfyouinstallaTS760AEStartertoaLosi5IVEToffroadtruckfittedwith astockmuffler,
youwillneedtobendoneof thewireconnectionson theelectricmotorata90degreeangleto
avoidcontactwiththemufflerasshownin thepictureabove.

Fitting withmodified powertunedpipe
Ifyouplantofitthe TS760AtoaLosi5IVETmodifiedwithapowertunedpipe,please
checkthedimensionsbelow.Makesurethatyouhavesufficientclearancespacebetweenthe
tunedpipeandheTS760.(Themeasurementsinthepicturebelowareinmm;1mm=0.039
inch.)

InstallationGuide MotorDownVersion
TheTS760Aisdesignedtobeinstalledineitheranelectricmotorupordownversion.Inmost
cases,youwillusethe“motorup”versionwhichwehavesetupasthestockversion.Thiswill
fitmostofthegascarsthatarecurrentlyavailableinthemarket.However,youcanalsoinstall
itinthe“motordown”versionifrequiredbyyourapplication.Thefollowingdimensionsguide
willassistyoutodeterminewhichisbestforyourcar.
