Kyosho 777 Engine Choices

[kreglee]

I got a used Kyosho roller off of Ebay for a good price. I've got it running using a .26 Hot Bodies engine that I had from my stadium truck. I'm looking to get a good .21 engine for this buggy, but I really like the roto-start I'm using now. Is there a good .21 out there that the Hot Bodies roto-start box is compatible with?

If I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong), any engine that comes with a pull-start can be converted to the roto-start with a kit.

Tried on another engine and it wasn't compatible, but maybe there is a conversion kit available. I'll have to check around. Call me lazy, I just hate pull starts.

typically the kyosho chassis does not accept a pullstart/rotostart. Not sure how you got yours on there, but most of the 777 platforms require starterbox.

took some shimming-spacing-cursing, but it works well after all the work
