Needed an AU but lucky wr decided to charge before xmas day as we needed an adaptor to even use the charger ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***A on 22 April 2024* Contiene lo necesario para arrancar tu carro nitro, sin duda lo recomiendo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***P on 19 June 2015* great kit, i was looking for just the glow ignitor and the local store wanted $30 for a alkaline battery charger, but i wanted something that could last longer as i felt like i was going through alkaline like nothing with that charger, this not only had a rechargable ignitor but it came with the charger and all the other tools which is great! the refill bottle is nice plastic that doesn't seem like it will be effected by the nitro, the nozzle is a nice length to reach in to the nitro bottle and suck nitro out with, and the nipple has a satisfying waterproof seal so far. the cross tool seems to have a little piece in it that holds the glow plug when you unscrew it, that's an awesome addition! my only problem with that tool is that it has screw holes that look like you can screw some extra glow plugs into it but my glow plugs don't fit, i think its possible that there is some burr from being tapped that never got deburred and its in the way of the threads, oh well i haven't used the glow ignitor yet but it already seems to get the glow plugs alot brighter than the alkaline one i had before. ## Frequently Bought Together - Redcat Racing 80142A Nitro R/C Starter Kit - VP Racing Fuel PowerMaster Car 20% Nitro 9% Synthetic Castor Oil (2 Quart) - 2pcs Hobbypark 70117 Duty Glow Plug #3 N3 Hot Spark Nitro Engine Parts Replace OS 8 for Traxxas Kyosho HSP HPI Redcat 1/8 1:10th RC Car Truck Buggy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/287434753-redcat-racing-80142a-nitro-r-c-starter-kit](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/287434753-redcat-racing-80142a-nitro-r-c-starter-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
