Hey all, I'm new here and new to Nitro (MT2 G3.0's supposed to be shipping in on friday) and it'll be my first taste of nitro. I'm thinking of replacing the flywheel as i hear that can give it a lil extra pep in acceleration. I'll have the roto start so i've been looking at this one:

Is it just a matter of swapping the old flywheel with the new one? Tower says that it requires this specific motor mount?
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXN378&P=V ? is that true or will the stock motor mount in my MT2 be good? Finally, it also says that I need the Brass Collett?

And also, i'm looking at ordering a couple extra glow plugs, will this work?

This is an incredible thread. thanks to everyone who's supporting and thanks in advance for your help. I know I''ll be hanging around here a lot.
trust me forget roto start. I bought a roto starter backplates and the whole 9 yards and went back to pullstart within 6 months.
Roto start its easier to damage your engine if it floods (broke a con-rod on my savage) and is an extra thing to have to worry about breaking.
Also on most RC's roto start is a pain (I know on a MT2 its not the easiest) cause the place you shove the wand to start it is right in the way of the rear suspention. Its doable but I don't recommend it
and the starter that needs a flywheel is a bump start. Never tried that seems simple enough though.
