Yes it comes in pullstart, it is called the CVRX, the problem with pullstart is not the tiny little loss off acceleration. It is when your one way bearing in the pullstart housing gets crudded up and slips, then you have to tear it down, clean it out, and then putt it back together. Orion makes some wicked motor, too fast for an off road track unless it is a wide open one with a really experianced driver. As far as glow plugs, I use OS #8's and I went through three this season in two gallons including break in. They don't eat them at all. What I mean by a pain to break in is that is the only time any of my OS motors have been a pain in the butt. They are hard to start, harder to keep running, and just generally irritate you. I have had this with 2 .12's, 1 .15, and a couple of .21 RG's, all OS motors but once they are broken in, they start like a champ, never die, hot restarts are no problem, and last for ever and rarely need the needles touched without a drastic change in temp.
