Here are the details for the new HSP Roto-starts that are now available:







Here is a short video of one fitted to an engine:

www.plaig.com.au/roto.avi

These are $50 each, this includes the starter, backplate and shaft. I now have batteries and Chargers available, these take the 7.2V 3300 Mah Battery, here is a link to more details of the batteries: http://plaighobbies.forumsplace.com/message2589.html These fit in the 500G postage bags so postage is cheap aswell. The part number to ask for when ordering is ROTO and if you need a battery and charger then please add that to the order aswell.

There is now a new model of engine backplate for the VX18 engines, they have reduced the size of the backplate and the bearing so that it is the same as the VX21, so I now need to know which size backplate each person has when they buy so that I can send the right one, here is an example to better explain it:

hey trev what are the bats u use called
so i can have a look on ebay

and the sizes will be good 2

also a pic of the plug and stuff 2

thanx buddy ur a good help

The battery packs are a 7.2 volt "stick" pack and I think you'll need Tamiya plugs (pretty standard) on 'em.

The same pack was used to drive the original Tamiya Frog buggy and apart from increases in milliamp/hour ratings, hasn't changed in about 25 years.

They look good Trev. As soon as I get my crap together I will be around to pick one up. Pull start in the VX driving me crazy.

Any response yet from your China connection abot the SH28 back plate?

That's the style, but the only down side with those batteries are that they are only1800 mAh.

I think the ones Trev refering to for $27 are 3300mAh, a lot stronger and last longer

and you also need a charger for the battery

i can only find them 4 $40.00
cant find any at $26.00

Here is the web site for the batteries, good price and good service.

They also have chargers.

It has both 3300 and 3700mAh

hey is it possible to get the wand and the back plate separate???

Yes if you only need the 1 part. I will work out the prices.

Just a note to say I have these wands and starters fitted and they work extremely well. I would recommend them.
Cheers

Thanks for that Dennis, you were the first one to try them out and appreciate the great feedback!

let me know when u have some trev and i will pay for them immediately mate
kind regards.

No worries, I've got them now and have sent you an email.

I have received new backplates for the rotostarts today, they are for the VX.21 and SH.28 from the Bazooka and Tornado, they are the same price as the VX18 rotostarts.

what price would that be trev, just for the back plate, no starter

$25 for just the backplate.
