I hate the starter box idea
Not positive here, but it could work. The pro chassis doesn't have the milled out section for the backplate like the RTR chassis does. This is a rectangle area milled out specifically for the backplate so it doesn't ride on the chassis. I think I shaved down my backplate to get it to work on the pro chassis. And even then the backplate was riding on the chassis, causing CB mis-alignment and toasting bearings quickly. All problems cured when I used the correct engine mounts on the pro chassis. I use the starter boxes now.
