hey i am getting the mt2 ss kit. in the kit there is the nitro star 18ss engine. it comes with a pull start. i have heard about a pull start conversion kit. could i convert the engine that comes with it to a roto start.

thanks

Thomas

P.S please comment
 
yes u can convert it to the roto sytem. i have the 18ss outlaw engine i love it so far.

thomas
 
i have it on hpi nitro mt -2 , i just used the same roto plate from m 15-t motor so yes i have a rotostart
 
thomas you can convert every enigne to roto or starting block as long as the cars frame allows it, and give's you access to insert the roto stick.

thomas lets roll out to the track this sunday!!!!!!!

The T-15 roto works fine on the 18SS. I chose to go pull start over the roto though. I'm sick of carrying the roto around with me all the time when I'm out playing.
 
page 41 of manual - part number 87121 is the back plate needed for the engine to be converted to roto start. I have not had problems with the pull start, but I will probably convert to roto start at some point.
 
^^ yea...

after 5-7 pulls for a prime...

mine usually starts after 2-3 pulls.
