Are there any good pull start race engines?

I've got a real downer on bump boxed, I've used them in the past and thought they were a bit gash, and yet another thing to cart about.

So that's it, Are there any decent .21 engines that would be suitable for competition that use a roto or pull start, or that can be converted to such.

Bump box is the way to go mate,

Hi
Yeah I agree bump box. I had a roto start on my last car nothing but problems,lost count of how many times I had to replace the oneway bearing,it seems the bearing cannot handle the extra torque of the rotostart. I think you will find race engines don't offer a replacement backplate for a pullstart/rotostart.

There are a few Novarossi engines and some others who do a pull start option, but few and far between. Not worth having a race engine if you are going to slap a pull start on it. Defeats the object really.

if you get a good starter box it will be so easy. Fastrax True strat or King Start etc etc great boxes. yes it means more to carry but thats the nature ofthe beast..Lol

This is a pretty good little engine. I have one in my Hyper 7 and its a screamer. i got it from my friend Adam who ran it in his Losi 8 20T for a while and was very impressive. My one does not have the pull start.
