ben,
Thanks for the pic. I did some research myself and found that Sullivan makes a starter wand that fits on the shaft of the losi roto start....or any other shaft. It only cost me $10 at the LHS. Would have cost me more than that to buy the parts to make my own

The part # is S686. You can find it at tower hobbies
