Default Roto Start for an O.S. CVRX

Guys;

Does anyone know it there is a conversion kit to install a 'Roto Start/Jump Start' on the O.S. CVRX Engines?

I really hate the Pull Start and do not want the added weight of the whole Easy-Start system (I have one that will fit).

Thanks,
Steven

Guys;

Well since no one could/would answer my question, I did some investigating and found the answer myself.

There is NOT a Roto/Jump Start designed for the OS .12/.15 PS engines. There is however one that will fit.

Default Roto Start for an O.S. CVRX

Guys;

For those of you that are interested.

I have an O.S. CVRX .15 in my T-Maxx (original version). The pull starting was getting to be a pain. I have a modified 'Easy Start' that will fit, but didn't want the added weight because I race.

What I found is a 'Roto/Jump Start' kit for the HPI 12/15 FE engines will fit with a slight modification.
The mounting holes in the backplate are slightly off and won't bolt up as is. Opening them up (in the Backplate) with a 3mm bit (.118) allows the screws to line up and the unit fits and works perfectly.

Hope someone else finds this information usefull.

Steven
