click on the link. scroll down and find your motor. click on it.. on the right side of the new screen there will be an "exploded view" click on it and all parts will be listed.

but looks like these parts are needed for pull start to work
22812
13017
22803

plus the screws and oring

thanks but I already looked at the exploded view. And I'm trying to gather parts for a pull start to roto start conversion, I don't need more pull starter parts. No where in those truggy 28-8 pictures does it mention the starter shaft/rod, the piece that goes from the starter to the roto start backplate.

gotcha.. check the 28-8 rt motor then.. thats the roto start version of your pull start engine..

Here is the part that goes into a drill to rotate the engine. I suppose you could use an old driveshaft too, as long as the pin is 1.5mm or less.

Thanks. That's what I ordered since I saw it listed for an older 28-7 motor, and just assumed they wouldn't change anything. Since I'm unfamiliar with roto starters does that part fit into a drill or a starter, or is it specifically just for a drill? Thanks again.

It is a 1/4" hex. Just make sure it turns counter clockwise. One thing that I really like about the Novarossi rotostart, is that you can adjust the orientation you need it. You can adjust it anywhere 360°

I have a 51020 pipe and a 42021 header on hand. Using the Nova buggy clutch.

give it a whirl.. I just found it need tick more clutch stall for a tick motor bottom end on my eyes but everyone drives differently.. maybe the pipe will give you the tick more bottom. but its a good motor overall.

I do have a 9901, but it’s in my buggy. Guess I could also go wi 4x aluminum shoes? Not sure what springs I would have to go with though.

if a 4 shoe I would probably change the 2 lightest springs for 1 step up from your heaviest springs you currently run..
your normal clutch set up.. hypothetical clutch setup
2x1.0
2x.95
I would change to
2x1.0
2x1.05 or 1.1 springs
and go from there.. hope that makes sense

41001 with a 9901 7mm restrictor 3x 1.0 with soft aluminum shoes is stupid fast with tons of midrange power. The motor has more stock crank timing than any other motor I've taken apart she's a cheap beast.
dont use a 4 shoe in truggy not enough clutch shoe area

In looking hard at the Nova Elite 5OFF .21 hard to pass up for the price. Looking to run this in my 8ight T 2.0 truggy what pipe/header would you guys recommend. Losi clutching ok or should I look into Novas?: thanks
