is there a way to start my evader like the tmaxx? cause i would like to just push a button and have the engine start up.

i was thinking about getting this: http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/637270.asp

im not sure if it will fit on the evader's engine though.

please help!

okay let me tell you one thing about the electric start. i have anitro rustler and i took mine of because 1 its heavy. 2 if somthing brakes in it its a pain to tkae of. 3 the batteries die fast 4 the plastic gears brake really easy i mean if yo want one go ahead i liked it but when it srtated to brake i gave u on the fixing also the motors burn out alot

would the one i posted a link to work?

No, the one you posted will not work. You'd be better off with a roto-start. I put one on my X-cellerator and love it. The gears haven't broke and as long as you can properly charge batteries its not an issue. As far as hard to take off, I guess if you call unscrewing 4 screws hard then you better stick with a pull start. The guys that say their heavy crack me up!!

which roto start would work on my evader?

I've got an Evader and haven't ever seen one for it.

is there a roto start that fits all .18 engines or something?

This is what you want; I have a roto-start but these are much higher quality:

And they have a cross-reference for engines not listed here that covers almost ALL car/truck engines... Plus, you can start it with the body on....

Oh yeah, you can buy this adapter and easily start it from the flywheel, like starter box does.... It's prob. cheaper too...

I forgot about that.

From the website: "Fits the OS DTX 18 engine for the T-Maxx" Isn't this a mistake? The DTX .18 is what comes in the Evader and I've never heard of a similiar engine for the T-Maxx.

RG501, you should call Sullivan (410) 732-3500 tomorrow and find out.

they're probably talking about the DTX .18 for the evader.

Dig a little deeper, look at the cross-reference page that is linked by that small list of engines... You don't need to call it's right there..

hmmmm ima look into one of these...

so should i order the 6mm or 8mm???

Oooooh yeah....

??

You should CHECK THE CROSS-REFERENCE PAGE and see which fits; then buy accordingly...

it says the Duratrax DTX .18 is a 8mm.

so i guess i'll buy the 8mm

if you go to tower hobby`s there is a quick-fit conversion kit made by KHB O.S. edition $16.99 that lets you mount the traxxas electric start on any OS .12,.15.18 motor the duratrax .18 is made by OS i have one on the duratrax .18 i put in my T-Maxx it works fine

Yeah but that thing is a mounted motor and more.... These backplates are nice and light and less maintenence....

Think about just the hand starter and the rubber donut, it'll work just as well and is nearly guaranteed to be cheaper...

Yep. I bought this one:



Good stuff.

but i think i would buy the tiger drive that is what is pictured above made by sullivan or racers edge power starter for OS motor they are easy to use all you need is a cordless drill,the starter wheel type are a pain unless you have a jig setup plus you need a good 12 volt battery to run one,kinda awkword unless you are used to them

I had the Racers Edge powerstarter on one of my OS .12's, and after the 4th plastic gear stripped out on it, I gave up on it........just my two bits.
Jag

1. You don't need any type of "jig"
2. They make a 12V battery that straps to the starter
3. After 2 starts you will be VERY quick and profecient.

I use lots of different methods for all of my engines, this really is the easiest, 1 bump (1 second or less) and it's running.

i`ve had great luck with the power starter i have three and going on 8 months not broke anything on them never have failed me alot cheaper than the powered wheel and battery setup
