Replacing EZ-Start
I am going to replace the TRX 3.3 EZ-start with a pull starter and i need to know if this is it? Here is the [link=http://www.rcplanet.com/Traxxas_Recoil_Starter_p/tra5170.htm]Link[/link]. And also, do you have to take out the engine to put this in or can you leave it in the car for installation?

Yes, that's it. Yes, that should be all you need. Yes, the engine will have to be removed to switch to a pull start.
Hope you know how to tune, otherwise you can expect some serious blisters between your fingers.
Be sure to carefully adjust the gear mesh between the clutch bell and spur gear when you reinstall the engine.

RE: Replacing EZ-Start
What do you mean by tuning? Wouldnt it be the same as with the EZ start?
