1. I have an 8ight rtr that ive done some upgrading to. A friend recently got out of the hobby and gave me tons of stuff including a brand new ofna chrome top starter box. I know this is in this thread somewhere but dont have the time and patience to look ot up. It seems as though the starter wheel is not reaching the flywheel. Do i need tto modify the starter box or is there engine mounts that lower the engine on the chasis? Or do i need to get a larger flywheel?

2. I am looking into buying a modified engine. Which engine in yalls opinion is the best bang for the buck no expenses spared. im looking into a hot mod ws7 III or an OS 21VZ-B V Spec Comp.
RTR has the roto start on it which uses a taller motor mount. Replace the motor mount with a losi or kings heads engine mount and you can use a starter box.

OS V-Spec is a great motor..don't waste your money on the modded one, yeah they do add a little power; but the v-spec has way than enough power...way more..
