About this part

Use the TRX recoil pull starter for racing applications where weight savings are critical. It is engineered for long-lasting, trouble free operation. It includes a heavy-duty spring and cord. Installation requires the starter backplate (#5274) and starter shaft (#5277) (EZ-Start® equipped motors already have these parts installed). If the engine was not originally equipped with a starter, then a different crankshaft is also required. Use Traxxas part 5219 (IPS) or 5221 (multi-shaft) crankshaft.

Poor workmanship and finishing details, the roller clutch not included. But it's works.

What reviewers say

Four reviews, all for the Traxxas Pull Starter Complete covering TRX 2.5, 2.5R, 3.3 and Revo engines. Reviewers generally report that it works reliably on Traxxas nitro engines, including a Revo 3.3 and a nitro Rustler, with one owner noting long-term trouble-free use. One reviewer advises against over-pulling the starter. The main criticism, from a single verified owner, concerns poor workmanship and finishing, and that the roller clutch is not included. That reviewer still says the starter works. Overall ratings are high, with four of four reviews at 5/5 or 3/5 and an average of 4.5. The sample is small, so these views may not reflect all buyers.

  • + Works reliably on Traxxas nitro engines
