i have the pullstart tm728. what do i need to do to run a roto starter? can i use the stock backplate and the stock rod with the hex that goes into the engine and just buy a hpi roto starter to go onto the current backplate? or do i have to buy the roto starter backplate for the 728 and then put the hpi starter on that backplate?

actually after some research online i figured out what i need. 1 hpi s21 or s25 roto starter kit with the starter and the backplate $47.99 usd and also the tm728/tm928 roto adapter backplate for the engine 57.99 usd. so basically what i'm looking at is around $100 usd. heres a question. since you guys updated the 728 and no longer offer it with a pull starter is it possible to send you my pullstarter backplate for a trade for a roto starter back plate for my engine?

Sorry but we cannot help you directly because we do not sell direct, you have to try and make an eventual deal with your LHS.

alright i think i found a cheaper way. i was looking at the tiger drive system. looks like all i have to do is by the tiger drive and the shaft. it should work with my pull start 728 correct? with the hpi roto start i would need the roto start back plate for my engine ontop of the hpi roto starter back plate. so what i am asking, i dont need to buy the optional roto start adapter back plate for my engine to use the tiger drive?

I am not sure that what you are trying to do is possible. In general you cannot interchange parts in between different brands. It might look the same on a picture but it is possible it does not fit.

Well if they state that it will work then it could be true, we have indeed tried this a while ago and it worked for us so it must be possible.
