I am new to this forum' date=' but i have a rampage xt for a couple of years now, Some options for you. I personally have a roto start installed o n my truck. It uses a troybilt starter bit in a cordless drill, with the pull start removed. It has a solid bar attached inside where the recoil used to sit. I do not like removing the body either. You could cut out a large sun roof panel and use a small piano hinge to re attach it and glue in a single pin / post to flip it open as needed. The troybilt starter package is up for sale at largescalerc.com for around $40. hope this helps.[/quote']Yes it does help, thank you.
