The Losi RTR truggy is a good package.
Long-term, if you want to run truggy or buggy, you need to just accept having a starter box. It's a bit of a hassle at first to carry around, but long-term it's the best solution. One, spin-starts on roto-start engines start to have problems with slipping one-way bearings. Two, later, when you want to upgrade your engine, there are just FAR more bumpstart engines - especially .21's..
I can't really help you with specifics on the truggy itself. I have heard of rear bearing issues, but for all I know that has been fixed by now...
Good truck - go for it..
thanks for input herrsavage, it's very appreciated. I have found out recently about one way bearing wear with roto start. but i see losi offers a pull start / roto start which would cut down on wear of oneway. does the starter box use the same battery as the roto start? still trying to find out if there are any major common problems with the rtr. so far i haven't found much.
