Fastrax Roto Start (with Hyper 21 Plate)

Start your nitro R/C engine effortlessly using this new Roto Start with powerful 550 motor. Insert the 6mm shaft with hexball tip into the new Torque-Slip design backplate receptacle to start your engine. The torque slip back platefeatures a specially design 'slip' unit to avoid possible damage should the engine lock up.

Please Note: This item is not compatible with the new HoBao Cops design of pull-start engines.

Tech Note: Starting any engine should be done in short, sharp bursts. These are NOT designed to be "held on" for more than 15+ seconds at a time - doing so will cause heat build up and gear damage.

I have a hobao mach 21 8 port purple head and looking for a rota start thanks
Michael / 14th March 2025

If it is not the cops pullstart version this should fit fine.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Can you use a lipo battery on this?
Mark / 11th February 2025

It would be best to stick to Nimh for a starter box as you will not know when the lipo is nearly dead.

Rich @ Wheelspin Models
Will this fit the fastrax enduro 21 engine?
Reece / 28th July 2023

No that will not fit , there is not a roto start for that engine and they suggest using a starter box.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Will this fit a hobao mach .28?
Ax-lev / 29th May 2023

Only if it is not a COPS engine (which says cops on the pullstart and the pullstart has a green handle)

This will not fit a Hobao COPS engine.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Will this work on the nrb 5 after 2016 model? Looks like might hit the exhaust manifold a bit
Jason / 22nd February 2023

It is not designed for that engine so we cannot recommend it.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
will this fit dynamite mach. .26
Russell Daniels / 2nd January 2023

No that is for hobao engines only , we do not know of one that will fit the dynamite engine.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Will this fit my hobao hyper 7 tq2
Luke Vernon / 29th December 2022

This is not compatable with the new Hyper engines with the cops pull start, if your car has a green handel for the pull start then it will not work.

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Hi I was just wondering what batteries does the drill start take please if u don’t mind me asking please also how are u ????????????????????
Gary Bowler / 17th November 2022

This will take a standard 7.2v NiMh battery, something like this HPI-160152

Si @ Wheelspin Models

No it won't you need one for the Force engines. Please call the store and one of the team will advise you. 

Anthony @ Wheelspin Models

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi I bought a Haboa Hyper 7 TQ 28 from Wheelspin Models at Christmas for my son. He struggled to start car using the pull cord and seems to have broken the pull cord spring as it will not retract properly. Will this electric starter fit this model of engine?
Ciaran Martin / 5th April 2021

If it's the later COPS version (green pullstart handle) then I'm afraid these won't fit sorry

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

David Lowe / 3rd April 2018

It will bolt on as the bolt pattern is the same, but will not work on a COPS engine sorry.

 

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Can you please tell me if this will fit my Hyper 7 T Q sport nitro Bugey thanks
Stephen / 5th July 2017

Yes, if you have the Hyper 21 or 28 engine this should fit.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

No, for the firestorm you want HPI-87130
Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Will this fit a Hong nor .28 force
Chay / 21st October 2016

I'm afraid we don't sell Hong Nor, so can't be 100% certain, but I'd assume it's a no as the Hyper .21 and .28 are quite a specific fitment.

You mention Force, if your engine uses a Force .28 pullstart, you may find the HPI F series rotostart HPI-87130 may fit.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi I'm after an electric starter for my Hobao hyper 7 TQ, will this fit?
