I use the RD Racing Starter box to start my 1/8th, 1/10th losi, Truggy, and of Course Revo.

If your having problem with starter being stiff try pre-warming the motor to get it started for the first time until its good and broken in. This will make your life waaaaaaayyyyy easier when it comes to fresh motors and Pull starts.
IMO
