I just got a Himoto Torpeda with an Infinity .27 engine except its pull start and this is my first RC ive already broke the pull string and the retaining springs inside twice. My friends have EStart cars and it seems alot easier for beginners like us. Is there a way to convert the .27 Infinity into an EStart if not what is the best engine for 1/8th buggies out there?

That is quite a broad question, the 27 in there is plenty, be sure to tune it properly. You can pull out the engine and take it to your lhs and match up tigerdrives and find one that fits. Then buy the shaft and I'm pretty sure you can use a drill for it or roto starter. I was looking at those too but decided on a starter box instead, much better for me, works on both my cars too. 2 tiger drives and a starter would have cost more than 1 starer box.
