RE: matrix tr arena roto tech starter
i was also interested in a roto start for the tr, does it exist?
for the guys using a starter box - what have a u done with the backplate on the engine as apparently there is no backplate to replace the pull start?

RE: matrix tr arena roto tech starter
apparently there is no backplate available to eliminate the pull start - i want to do the same setup as well, what a pain pull starting then fitting the body...
i'd rather bump start with the body fitted & be done with it!

I read on the Cen Forums that the 'Cen TR .28' engine is basically a rebranded 'GO .28'. There is a none pullstart backplate available for the GO .28, part number GO28-1000.

Kenny,
I see you're in the U.K., but can't seem to find this part anywhere in the U.S......
anyone else find it anywhere here in the states?

Great find kenny, i'm in the uk as well and just got hold of my matrix tr arena. What starter boxes are people using, is there much difference between makes?

I have used the following starter boxes, Mugen, King Starter box, Thunder Tiger pro & I'am currenlty using the new SMD starter box. Finding a starter box to fit the Matrix TR arena can be quite a job as the chassis is long & engine mounted quite forward.

RE: matrix tr arena roto tech starter
I got a reply from Jamie booth apparently both the "28-1300 Side electric starter" and the "28-1400 Rear electric starter" contain all the parts needed to convert the engine to roto start and simply buy a roto starter, im not sure which is better for the matrix tr arena though. Now im unsure wether to do this or get the backplte and box starter.

RE: matrix tr arena roto tech starter
I'm very dissapointed with CEN on this. Bought their truggy and then their RotoTech only to find out that it does NOT fit the TR. All those who bought their RotoTech system should be given a proper backplate as per "customer service"
