Hi and welcome to the 1/8th scale buggys

Starter boxs are not a must...............but they sure do make it easyier to start them.
Myself like the pull start system as when out bashing if it stalls its esay to start if your nowhere near your starter box.
Most if not all race engines dont have a pullstart so the have to have a box.
As far as i know most starter box's will fit all buggys.

Hope this helps a bit.
