Which do u think is the best and most reliable way to start you nitro rc car

as yesterday fter running my car for 30 mins rode the car back to me filled up the fuel tank and i noticed the pullstart handle wass missing after searching for it for about 30 minutes i fou8nd it with about 2 inches of cord attached and it looked aso if it was singed off but i dnt see how as all pullstart have a rubber shaft for about 3 inches.

I would say electric start is better as my car always turns on easily and I no longer bust my knuckles or burn them and yesterday when i was driving my buggy I saw that the pullstart handle and cord had also fallen of somewhere which is irritating
