Abstract: A system for remotely starting model toy internal combustion engines, used for propulsion of the model toy, such as an airplane, helicopter, boat, automobile, or other similar vehicles. The starter mechanism being contained in a single case, coupled to a single gear attached to the model engines crankshaft. The starter case being sufficiently small so as to allow it to be mounted directly to the model toys internal combustion engine. An electrical starter motor attached to the starter mechanism case, for cranking the engine, operating from the internal batteries on board the model toy. A remotely controlled servo starting circuit that energizes the engines ignitor plug, allowing sufficient preheat time, and activates the starter motor, from signals provided by the radio receiver on board the model toy vehicle.
