Good Roto Strart system?

Duratrax makes one for the 3.3/2.5 engines. It works on the 21TM and is much cheaper. Mine has been on a 3.3 and a 21tm.
On the 21tm the starter shaft is shorter than the 3.3 starter shaft. You have to put either a 12mm wheel hex or a piece of fuel tubing inbetween the rotobackplate and the OWB. If you don't, the OWB will slide out and bind on the starter shaft at an angle. It happened to me twice before i figured it out.
O.S engine parts are not cheap either!
I used a short piece of fuel tubing in mine with no problems.

They all are the same, I can't find a duratrax one on tower or Ebay..
 
Take a look at Tiger Drives. Just picked up one for my picco 26 max. I kept blowing owb with the old roto start that I had so found this heavy duty looking one and loving it so far.
