Check eBay or other threads for them cheaper.
I use this one.....[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHZE2&P=0]Ofna 1/8 & 1/10 Narrow Starter Box[/link] But I got it real cheap, like $30.
These will work too:

RE: Starter box for RC10GT
I'd reccomend a Tigerdrive instead of a starter box. It works great for me. Best part was that no modifications needed (i.e. motor mount, flywheel, etc.) Complete conversion cost $40

RE: Starter box for RC10GT
Tigerdrive uses a drill to start your engine. If you like this method, you can do this even with out the tigerdrive, just remove the pull start assembly, then use the oneway bearing and place it inside a socket (13mm) with extension (same as a yank eliminator).
Best part - no modifications, no added weight & cheap. You probably have the tools needed already.
Starter Box price starts at 50 & up, depending on features, with or without powerpanels etc. Any universal 1/10 starter box will be fine.

RE: Starter box for RC10GT
I have been looking for a yank eliminator so I can do away with my pull start. You say there is no mods to do. But I am worried about what keeps that shaft in the engine. When I say the shaft I am talking about when you remove the pull start you have the engine back plate and in the center of it is the shaft with the hex on it that the pull start mates up to. I can grab that shaft and just pull it out. so what keeps it in?? Thanks for all your info and advise.

Allows starting with the body on the vehicle.
Eliminates chance of pull-starter string or spring breaking.
Inexpensive, convenient alternative to starter boxes or hand held
starters.
Increases speed and acceleration by eliminating drag on the engine
from the pull starter's bearing and through weight reduction.
Saves space behind the engine and allows for a variety of high

RE: Starter box for RC10GT
Hi, i noticed one of your rc10gt has HPI rims, when you ionstalled those did you use the wheel adapters that came stock with the truck or did you got new ones. I ask this because i looking to buy the pro-line wabash rims and i relly dont know what the mounting procedure is. Also im looking forward to get rid of my pullstarter on my AE.15 and i was wondering if using the one way bearing attached to the hex extencion was no a good idea with a normal 12v cordless drill. Do i need a high torque one or a specialized starter for that matter?
