Anybody have any opinions on hpis roto start?
I have an ofna force 21 and im thinking of ditching the pullstart.
No, a starter box wont work on this car.
Any word yet about adapters for other engines (like the Hyper .21?)

I just installed this thing and tried it about 15 minutes ago. Works great
so far. No idea on the durability, but it looks like it should last a while.
Take a look on www.savage-central.com. Here's a direct link to the post
about fitting the roto-start to the Hyper 8:
http://www.savage-central.com/ftopic3558.html . I had a few problems with
the stock 21BB pullstart, and I would imagine that the hyper, having more
compression, would have the potential for even more problems. Also, look at
the Ofna website here: http://www.ofna.com/rotostart.html Fits the force
line of engines and the outlaw with an extra spacer.

If you hate the pullstart, you'll probably love the rotostart.

No more blisters!!!
