Default Roto Start for an O.S. CVRX

Guys;

For those of you that are interested.

I have an O.S. CVRX .15 in my T-Maxx (original version). The pull starting was getting to be a pain. I have a modified 'Easy Start' that will fit, but didn't want the added weight because I race.

What I found is a 'Roto/Jump Start' kit for the HPI 12/15 FE engines will fit with a slight modification.
The mounting holes in the backplate are slightly off and won't bolt up as is. Opening them up (in the Backplate) with a 3mm bit (.118) allows the screws to line up and the unit fits and works perfectly.

Hope someone else finds this information usefull.
