Hi I'm new to HPI Rc cars and I'm wanting to buy the Savage XL 5.9cc

But it comes with a - Roto Start 2 starting system and i dont fancy walking around with a engine starter so I'm wanting to replace it with a pull start but I'm not too sure what fits this engine, i Think HPI Pullstart Assembly K4.6 Engine [Part number - 15226] works but I'm not too sure, and if thers a better pull starter then that i would like to know.

also wondering if OS 08 Medium plugs work well since iv got 5 spares from my last car,

iv also been using BigBang 20% with my last car and I'm wondering if it's a good fuel to use.

any help would be great
 
you might not like the idea of carrying round a roto starter with u all the time but trust me i have had alot of different trucks with pull start and with roto and roto is the winner by far u will soon get sick of pulling the pull start apart to re string it and trying to get that darn spring back in but every ones there own and to answer your question yes the pull start off a 4.6 will fit
O.S 08S should be fine
 
on my other truck had a pull start and it SUCKED get a blister between my fingers from trying to start it my self i prefer the electric but as savage nutrr says to each is own
 
yeah, I was like that too, wanted the pullstart, cuz it was an easier option. but ended up with rotostart. Its a hassle to carry around, but makes it soooo much easier to start er up!
 
Thx for the replys and iv orderd my savage and can't wait and I got a pull start aswell but I guess I can try roto start for abit
