Arrow Shark TS­760A E­Starter 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!
