Ninjashunt Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi there, Just after some advice on buying a roto start, I've used pull starts for a while on my 7 without any issues but my ST came with a backplate for a roto start which i have now tried using a friends drill after my new pull start broke and it seems like a good option. what roto starts do you recommend or should i just buy the rod and use my drill? Any advice appreciated[emoji3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I used to use this one to good effect - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-torque-starter-hobao/rc-car-products/25032 Just bare in mind you need a stick pack to power it and a charger to charge it also.

Anthoop Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If you have a drill then just buying the shaft would be cheaper and one less battery to charge......if the roto is a hex drive then you could of course avoid buying the shaft too if you have access to a socket set with suitable hex bits/extensions.... Always nice to have a clutch on a powerful drill though and set it so it slips before damage might occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjashunt Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks I'm debating buying the fastrax or going for a new drill as i need one around the house anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
