Are you putting this in your Revo???
the OS 18TM is designed to work with the EZ start system........so you will need to transfer that over from your old engine.....

I am not sure about that....but the TM is for sure designed for the EZ start......Try posting in power plants to see if the experts there can help...

Yes. You can. I ran a traxxas 2.5 pull start on my 18TM in my revo. That engine was so reliable that after break-in, it rarely took more than a couple pulls to start. Even during break-in, it would start right up if the line was primed.

The one you linked to in your first post will work just fine. I'd suggest getting a new OWB for a TRX2.5 though. Using an old OWB on a new starter shaft will wear out the shaft quicker.

You can find the starter housings and OWB's on ebay much cheaper than tower. I've bought OWB's for $12 on eBay for mine as opposed to $20 on tower.

ya but wont you pay almost the same thing because of shipping?

 

[olds97_lss]

$20 + $4 shipping at tower.
$12 + $4 shipping at eBay.

No. At least not when I bought mine. If you shop well, you can find guys selling the pull-start and OWB, then get both. Most do a shipping discount that way.

Granted, you don't save much, but after the 15th time of saving $6-10 on eBay, it adds up. I know I've saved a boat load over the past few years by shopping on eBay for my trucks.

Right now I'm looking at some parts for my AS on eBay for $18 that cost $40 at horizon. I'm almost just buying things based on principle!
