***Please measure the diameter of your one-way bearing before purchase***

If you're fed up of broken pullstarts and bruised knuckles then this rotostart backplate may be the answer for your nitro buggy or truck.

A direct swap for your pullstart, it is for use with most rotostart systems or a cordless screwdriver (2000rpm min. recommended) and a standard rotostart dogbone style starter shaft (not supplied)

The backplate mounting points are 27mm apart with a drive gear designed to accept a 12mm or 14mm one-way bearing so it will also fit many other engines.

As far as I am aware that means it will fit the following engines which all use this configuration.


HPI Racing  F3.5,  F4.6. (Version 1 uses 12mm bearing, Version 2 a 14mm bearing)

HPI Racing  G3.0,  21BB, S25,  F4.1, (12mm bearing)
