But is there a conversion kit for these to go to pull or bump start?
1. Buy a new rubber wheel for starter box
2.Shim the motor and wheel assembly in the starter box so the wheel sits higher.
I have the protek rc starter box and it was known to have issues like you are having whether buggy or truggy. The fix is what i stated above by shimming and problem solved. I used 3/16”aluminum flat bar to raise the wheel/motor assembly upwards.Hope this helps
