The Fat Boy is a powerful motor starter designed for use in applications of mid “J” and up – and we do mean UP!   It’s a stand-alone istarter which is frequently used un-augmented in “K”, “L” and “M” class motors.  No additional pyrogen needed.   The Fat Boy must have 12 volts to start.  The pyrogen is 1 inch long by 15/64 inch (.234) OD with 36-inch leads.  It burns very hot at 1,600 degrees F, creating generous smoke and sparks as it burns from top to bottom like a s…

Slim Gem

The Slim Gem is designed for use in “H” through mid “J” RMS or single use high-power motors. They must have 12 volts to start. The pyrogen is 1 inch long by 9/64 inch (.140) OD with 24-inch leads and made to fit those smaller nozzles. Using 12 volts, the Slim Gem will burst into flames at 1,600 degrees F, producing much smoke and sparks. Rapid combustion then consumes the remaining pyrogen similar to a sparkler. They will reliably start sugar motors, composites, black powder or anything …

Startech Starters (6pk)

The new StarTech starters stay true to the design of the original, with one key addition. The small nichrome wire, the one that heats the propellant at launch, has been dipped in a specially crafted chemical compound that reacts with the heat of the wire to create a large burst of heat and pressure that ensures ignition. Never misfire again! Includes 6 starters.
