Status: offline 		i replaced my broken pullstarts with the hpi rotostart backplate, since its a direct bolt on and the one was bearing that comes with the redcats fits on the hpi backplate i would think that the pullstart for the .12-.15 would work on it.

Check out this thread for the part number and stuff

And if you end up not liking the two speed you could always just purchase a one speed transmission later on and install that. That way you get the bigger engine in the xp.

Status: offline 		I have an HPI rotostart installed on my Rapida (Himoto) Team Infinity .18 engine. You need a different one way bearing for it. It works like a charm. Starts up fast. I also put a tube on the muffler heh to port all the oil out the backside of the car. A little loss in power, but at least my rear wheel doesn't get covered with oil and I spend all my time cleaning oil dirt goop out of the car. RO tubing works perfectly
