a pull start or rotostart system will easily rob 10-15% of the power of your engine plus there are more places for air leaks , get a killer race application engine . unless you are using in savage or similar vehicle ......lose the roto start .

I didnt know it robbed 15% of your power, I thought it was more like 5% but I can easily see how it is more. Besdies the power (my engine is already uncontrollable) I have absolutiely zero problems with my spin start. When I raced electric, I bought $75 factory matched cells (best cells available) so it really so the spin start really goes compared to people with their 1700nicads. I actually havent had 1 time where it wouldnt start on the first spin.
