From the looks of my engine, can it support a roto-start? I dont suppose so right? There's nothing to poke the rotostart into. But the previous owner mentioned that he used a handheld starter. Is there a handheld starter other than sth similar to rotostart that i do not know of?

Okay, so i suppose there's such a thing as a rubber attachment to the end of a rotostart or something. Gotta check if my lhs has them. Thanks.

I'm in the process of building mine, just ordered all and received some of the electronics and next the engine and paraphernalia.

This is to prevent the vibration from damaging the throttle servo, and also lifts the servo off the chassis a little.

Hi there everyone. I'm running stock class this year (FW-05T totally stock and rubber tyres). I need to get a few replacement parts (gears, hubs, fuel tank etc.) but prices here in Aus. at the LHS are outrageous. What on-line stores do you guys use to get kyosho spares from?

Just wondering if there's any guys out there wanting to sell their FW05rr spare parts.
It seems that alot of people are moving to RRRs... just trying my luck.
RR parts are really hard to find...

Only problem with www.shopkyosho.com is it's not a world wide thing - they don't ship outside the US.
