I bought a Ofna Ultra LX off Ebay as my first Nitro, should be here in 'bout 2 weeks.
It has the stock .26 Force in it, and is set up for Bump Start, will all I need to convert it to Pullstart is the Pullstarter? Or will I also need a one-way bearing?

I do believe you will need a new crankshaft, one way bearing, backplate, and pullstart. You need a new crankshaft because you have to gring down a little pin on it to get the bumpstart backplate to fit. It also happens to be what turns the motor when using a pulstart. So on a bumpstart motor it's not there anymore. It's just easier and cheaper to leave it bumpstart and buy a bump box.

I thought the pullstart acts as the backplate while being a pull start?

Nope, there's a backplate under the pullstart.

So, if you go Bump start w/ an engine, your eliminating Roto/shaft start, Pull start, and any other starter unless you get a new crankshaft, one way bearing, backplate and what ever starter?

Will Pullstart, Easystart, roto/torque start all run on the same crank shaft, though?
I just checked the price of a Crankshaft for the Force .26 = 79.95, ouch. That's basically the cost of a Force .26 engine.($120ish)

Well theres no way I'm paying $120 for stuff to convert it to Pull Start.
$120 for a Box, battery, charger for battery........Starter box's just seem so inconvenient.
But, apparently for later on when I sell the buggy and buy a CRT/.28 the CRT's engine mount will only accept a bumpstart?

On the Ultra's mount? Or the CRT Pro's mount?

Some mounts are like that.... though I am not sure about those exact ones. I have one set for my LSP for bump start motors and then another for pullstart or rotostart.
