Which backing plate to buy for electric starter install?

[Ultrashiver]

Hello All - New to this forum and a beginner with NITRO RC cars -

Do any of you know the backing plate I should buy for a Redcat Lightning and Exceed Short Course truck with a Vertex .18 engine? I recently bought an off brand electric starter kit and the instructions mention that the backing plate will fit engines 16 - 21 - When I tried to install it, the backing plate is too big and the holes don't line up - I just now bought a Redcat Shockwave and Redcat starter kit and that has two backing plates and should be coming in the mail soon - Hope one of the backing plates will fit -

Thanks in advance

@Ultrashiver you should be able to use the Redcat 11011H12 backplate on your Vertex .18 nitro engine.

Update: My Redcat starter kit came and the 11011H12 backing plate fit perfect on my Exceed Short Course Truck - I will be ordering two more for my Redcat Lightning and Redcat Shockwave -

Thanks again!
