Hi Guys!! I've been breaking in my chimera engine today, I was wondering with my other RC trucks and cars on the 1/10 and 1/8 scaled I normally use and electric strart on the enging or i'll remove the Pull cord assembly and install and Drill starter. Now in Youtube Ive seen guys starting their 1/5 scales with a Drill starter. I've been looking around and havent seen one and was wondering have any of you used these you your


1/5 scale and if so where did you purchase yours from.

Ok here is my overall Review of the Xtreme Roto Starter. LOL I've had easier times starting my chimera with the pull start. Changed out the spark plug and still cannot get this thing to start now. When using the roto start I can see gas dripping from the tail pipe Soooo it's pumping in too much gas in my opininon and this is with factory setting on the carbs but still no start. Any clues? But I also noted that this truck started hard when I first got it. once it starts it's fine but cold starts are murder lol
