Bradley@BMM Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Take the engine back to the shop and get them to check / replace the engine mate Doesn't seem to be the engine mateyy, just sounds like frustration/lack of power from the starter box, not the engines fault!

Pearce Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Sounds like you should get shot of it A true rc'r loves tinkering as much as running them No offence it's not for you running an engine in is easy. If you went brushless , you still got to rebuild shocks / diffs etc ......... Can be a fiddle, I think you'd flake out lol no offence. Keep reading this post after youve had loads of sound advice from fellow members. I'm shooked your not on your tenth tank;) Any how , regardless your descision ... Good luck in starting or good luck in the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhel Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Can you just install a pull starter? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/go-engine/rc-car-manufacturers/1180 Edited August 29, 2011 by Ruhel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1uke Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Go brushless you won't regret it! plus the misses wont mind you working on it in doors as theres no smelly nitro fuel etc involved. Whilst shes watching eastenders im enjoying fixing or upgrading my cars on the dinning room table. If your that worried about lipo fires you can stick with nimh or even Life batteries. I have had only 1 lipo incident in hundreds of charges/usages and that was down to a esc failing and all that happened was they swelled right up so I chucked them. I also get away with using my cars anywhere like long the beach or any park as they are so quiet compared to noisey nitros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruces Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 im interested myself in going nitro but very wary after seeing so many lipo fire vids plus i dont really know all that much about them does anybody know of a link to a breakdown of brushless thats in laymens terms preferably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC_Ollie Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) nitro is easy once you get everything set up correctly and have been running them for a while. just give it a chance then you will really like your hyper st Edited September 2, 2011 by RC_Ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
