I just wanna get some cheap ones do you think 2 of these (my starter box takes 2 batteries) will make the rubber piece spin fast enough and have enough torque to start my engine?

I use 2 1400 nicd's that are over 10 years old to start my Mammoth Pro with the .25 motor. I charge them in the morning and they are good to go all day.
I have gotten well over 10 starts on any given race day without needing a recharge.

I was just asking because I got a Venom 3300 nicd here and one really bad battery which came from a toys r us car and they cant start my buggy. I think its the toys r us battery thats doing it because the Venom is new and runs cars great.

It's best to get 2 that are close to the same as far as performance goes.
For a starter box, you don't really need top of the line batteries, cheaper packs will do.
