the only one that i can think of would probably be a Sulivan's Tiger Drive.

completely different than what I thought you were talking about.

There is different types ,it all depends on the shaft of the engine ,some start shafts are in the engine for an external
one way bearing ,an some starter shafts go into the engine into an internal one way bearing!

I have a Ofna 21 engine that has an internal o-way bearing ,in which that I use this roto start unit!



Depending on the brand & where the o-way is located ,some will enter change like the HPI units
may work ,but is a toss up ,if you can find a unit cheap enough to find out if they fit the screw pattern
of the engine block!

the tiger drive i linked is saying it is compatible with the TRX 2.5 engine, which the EZ starts are supposed to be a direct swap between those, i believe also that the Tiger Drive has slotted screw mounting positions to be able to adjust for variance of different sizes withing a certain amount. might be worth an email to them to verify fitment. i remember when i was just getting into nitro that these were what everyone swore by, and was in my plans to get one, until i learned that if oyu have an engine near enough to tune, just a few pulls is alot better than running after the car with a glow driver, temp gun, and roto-start/electric drill, etc if you flipped it and it died or killed the engine some other way.
but in that front to each their own.
