XB8EC starter box for XT8

If the box doesn't line up for the truggy I was looking at this Nova motor with the roto-start. It's underpowered, but I run on a very tight, slippery track.... Would the roto start with this motor work in the XT8. Can you get at the back plate to start it? Thanks again

the chsssis on the XB8 & XT8 are different lengths, so if your box is spot on for the buggy it will not match your truggy. some people leave one pin out to compromise & move the car around on the box but this can be fiddly if your pit man is not used to it. I run two boxes as i cant be bothered to keep adjusting.
As for the rota start never used one so cant commnet to help.

You could try this, I made a fibreglass tray formed over the chassis then trimmed it to fit then bolted it down the starter box, It fits both XT8 & XB8 so you only need one starter box.

i can email you some pics if you need more info
I would put the pics on the forum if i new how

or if someone can give me a crash course let me know & will post them.
