drill or rotor start?

[cooldude]

soon to break my revo.23 rb..i put a rotor adaptor on it and got a rotor shaft...now my question is?

will a drill work fine? if so what volts are good? between 7 to 12 volts? drill can come in handy too..
also will adjusting the torque on the drill help it so that if the engine gets stuck it wont force the piston move causing damage..

or just get the rotor start?

thanks

I would get a rotor start, since you already have the adapter and shaft.

the drill i think would be the best and you can take the adapter from a roto start

I would not take chances on a 300 dollar engine if I were you, the roto will start it just fine. If a roto start can crank a LRP .28 fine, the RB .23 should not be a problem.

roto start is the way to go

with the drill you can't tell when the engine is flooded and i busted a con rod once
from turning the engine over when it was hydro locked

drills are bad plus there bulky and annoying

Use a drill with a clutch. One that you can adjust.
Just start out with a low setting and don't get cocky.
