I put my roto start on today and NEVER got to crank my truck with it, before the little gear turned into ashes. That tells me that I wasted my money on the rotostart and that its a peice of SH**!!! I will never put on a sts roto start on my motor again (unless they upgrade it). I will keep on wasteing my time with the crank rope problems, At least the pull rope is cheap. I could not believe that this thing could not even crank my truck 1 time.. unreal... It looks like dino will have to work on this. Overall rateing of the motor is great, I would say 8 out of 10, It would be a 10 with a better starting system. I will race the os21 tmaxx this weekend with it, Lets see how she holds up. I will keep my opinions comeing, I do not work for sts so these opinions are from the regular guy that has to buy his parts and keep paying for repairs. Thanks for the sts, but it needs some work. However you get what you pay for. Remember that....
