nad there is no way to push start it because it is a cetrifigul clutch. that would be cool though because when your batteries go dead you could still start your car.

If you change your motor, it is possible to use the starter box. One of the people at my lhs has a starter box, but im quite not sure what engine it has, yes, its a rustler. I dont like carrying the starter box around, but i guess it would be easier to start:)

If you removed the clutch competely, I suppose you could push-start your car, assuming you can push it fast enough.

In theory yes. However you'd never be able to allow the car to sit and idle, as it would always be moving, just as if it had a broken clutch spring.

You don't need to change the engine to use a starterbox. But if you keep using an engine with a pullstart or ez-start with the starterbox, there's no advantage to using the box, unless you just like using the box...With a starterbox a non pull engine can be used, which has no starter attached, and no way to attach a starter.
