I think the roto-start system is a great idea, but many seem
to have some problems with the system. I have
a 2.4 XTM motor in my xterminator. Why can't I devise some
device, like a small socket to fit on a shaft and connect it to a cordless
drill, then insert the socket onto the one way bearing and
start the car. Has anyone tried this method, or is there some
reason that it will not work. Any suggestions or input greatly
appreciated.

It does work. It's called a yank-eliminator.

If you've got a straight shot to the back of the motor, it can work just fine. I have had no problems with any of my roto-starters.
