Status: offline 		there is no reason you should get tired of pulling on a pull start, it you cant start it easily within a few turns on a pull starter, a roto starter wont help you any, you need to learn the proper amount to prime the engine, ect

Yeah, exactly. Actually the first thing i did when i got my car was replace the rotostart with a pull starter. I really didn't like the rotostart much, pain to remember to charge and carry around.

Status: offline 		hey guys, dumb question here. If I buy a pullstart do I need to buy anything else? The car I bought has a roto plate on it and I hate those things. There should be a 1-way in it still right? and it's the HPI1668 that I'd need for the 18ss?
