get hold of any 3A 125vac switch and solder it in place just make sure you connect the two wires the right way round or the starter will spin backwards!!!!!! 5min job..

That's what I did, just go to Radio shack, you can pick up a 3amp switch for less than $5. It will be better than the stock one anyway, I know a few people that their stock one just quit.

Kamil,
If your still under warranty, than you might wanna try HPI. Just say that you were trying to start up your engine and your roto-start button got jammed & you pulled out your battery pack before it wore it down ne more. See if they will send you a new one, you might need to send them your recipt, just make a copy of it and send the copy in. Good Luck!

Now I know why I started going to slot car forums. The language is nowhere near as bad AND mods don't have to sticky threads quoting language & courtesy rules.

Get a pullstart. It'll either teach you to tune your engine right or make you feel manly from the callouses on your hands... after the blisters go away.

I called them about my Pull start on my Savage SS. I started it for the first tank of break in and when I went to start it for the seconed tank the nylon rope on the pull started had melted in the middle. They said they normally don't warrenty the pull starts but they sent one out anyway. I don't normally dislike pull starters but this one has been crap. I have restrung the original with better nylon line but now I can't seem to get the wheel to stay on the spring for very many pulls. I think it's a lemon. I'm hoping the replacement one works better. In the mean time I put a new roto start backplate on and use the good ole Dewalt cordless to start her up.

Kamil, it's in Totowa off Rte 80. Take the turnpike to 80W and get off 80 at Union blvd. Make a right and it's about a mile up. Probably about 45 minutes from Somerville depending on how you drive.
