Using a bump start? HELP
I jsut baught an OFNA bump start. I am going to be using it for my OFNA ld3, losi 8 and traxxas rustler. the rustler has pull start, 8 has spin starter, and ld3 has the electric starter. Do I need to do anything to the motors to be able to use them? one way bearings?????

Losi 8 won't work on the starter box unless you remove the spin-start and replace it with the Sportworks backplate AND get the Losi Race Roller engine mounts or some other aftermarket engine mount:

You most likely won't be able to use any alignment pins because all those cars are so different that you'll have to line them up by hand.
The Rustlers flywheel isn't even oriented in the same direction as the other two so it probably won't work at all unless you wanna be taking the motor out of the starterbox and remounting it every time. And that's assuming you have a "universal" starter box and not the blue OFNA "truggy" box.

So for the 8, it is either spin start or bump.

I just converted my 8t to bump box. You can get the race roller engine mounts on ebay for like 5 to 7 bucks and then the sportwerks back plate like the other guy said. Then you'll be good to go with the ofna box. Mine works sweet. Way better than the drill.
