The starter unit that comes with the LST is supposed to be one of the best in the business now that they made the whole gearset metal. As for a drill, cordless for sure, I used a 14.4 volt on high range for my MGT engine. Anything you have laying around for a cordless drill should be fine.

I would say roto-start. I had to use my 14.4v drill on high torque to start my friends Savage 25. It didnt have enough jam in high speed :rolleyes: It took forever :mad:
The battery was fully chargerd too :rolleyes:
My roto start feels like it has enough jam to start my 250 atv :eek: :D

I use the supplied rotostart with mine and no problems except for stripping out the original plastic gear.I also have as a back up an old makita 9.6 volt drill and it starts it up fine as well
hope this helps
I think rotostart doesn't spin in the right direction for the LST!

I tought you were talking about the HPI roto start....It's not the same "roto start" as Losi
