My buggy pullstart has broken twice and I lost the handle, and I want some thing easier. I was looking at the OFNA Mutilator and it has an auto start, but I cant find a conversion (I run a Force .28). has anybody done this or have another cheap starter, like a shaft start or a GOOD pullstart. I already have to buy a new steeringg servo so I dont have any chance to spend unneccesarily

Here is some quick research for you:

take off the pull start, put a backplate and use a starter box.

The Mutilator will break the front steering knuckles within the first tank.

There's really no way around it. If, and i mean a big if, you had a good tune and use short pulls they last, but.....

The "cheap starters" (shaft start, pull start, auto start) are not reliable AND hamper performance. Get a starter box.

"GOOD pullstart" is an oxymoron... like "honest politician" or "jumbo shrimp." It doesn't exist.


If you only want to spend your money once, get a "bump box" and be done.

Whats an affordable starter box. My dads gonna kill me when I tell him I need a new starter and servo, since heŽll end up paying for it

I think I figured out what Ill do. A Hitec 645MG servo and OFNA Torque Start. Any extreme failure warnings about either of these?

rc_in_mexico, I use the Roto Start 2 in my Mutilator. It works fine, over 1 year's use for me. I only use this truck for bashing, not racing. Get yourself a better steering servo, the 645mg is super slow. Didn't know Ofna was hated here lol

what backplate did you use? Im gonna buy the OFNA universal adapter and buy the starter wand 4 my cordless drill. whats a good servo?

I believe its an Ofna Backplate, don't remember actually..sorry. Give Nitrohouse.com a call, they sell a bunch of Ofna products. I use the Hitec 7955tg for steering and 985mg for brakes in my Mugen Mbx6E.

Would a Hitec 5645 cut it for steering? Im trying to keep it as affordable as possible

Here's you a decent budget servo for steering ... it is faster than the HiTec and about the same torque:

seems too weak, but thanx 4 the help. Anybody else know of a good servo for around $50?
