Default RE: rotostart with lcg tvp's

ORIGINAL: 46u

It all depends on what shock towers and bulkheads you have. Here is what HPI says about their LCG chassis.

For the original Savage this set requires the use of a pullstarter engine, engines with Roto Start are not compatible. This set can be used with the Savage X and a pullstarter or Roto Start engine, slight trimming of the Savage X plastic roll hoop is required.
I was just trying this setup last night. HPI's LCG frame has to be used with a specifically made motor plate that comes in the kit.
I think the palte part # is 80357. No other motor plate fits or works not even the Savage X plate.
I trying to put these frame on a Savage X bulkhead using the motor plate made for it.
The rotostart location seems to be right behind and in the middle of the lower X on the shock tower.
Does the lower X suppose to be modded and cut away? wouldn't that weaken the shock tower?
Would using a rotostart plate at the 9 o'clock positon rather the standard 11 o'clock work?
