    you have an earth going tht bolts onto the battery tray (the one that burnt out) and an earth strap that goes from the gearbox to the inner chassis leg, just make sure the connections are clean and rust free

    I may be wrong here but, i think the starter earths through the bolts that attach it to the engine. I had an issue with my track car at first witrh a lazy motor, I remover the bolts, cleaned the surfaces and a year later it's still a great starter.
