Hyper-d Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If your posts are lined up correctly and your not getting good contact then you may need a slightly bigger flywheel maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazj10 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 you need to get a larger flywheel mate, i had the same issue with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Larger flywheel or lower engine mounts it's still setup for the standard pullstart which makes the flywheel sit too high for a starterbox wheel to reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiLLiE Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) ive been thinking of doing this to my trophy truggy , does anybody have a link for the bigger flywheel or different engine mounts .. and do you need to remove the pullstart ?? . sry for jumping on your thread just thought it would help both of us at the same time..

fatboyneil Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 You need the blanking back plate for the engine to replace the pull start then lower engine mounts these are listed as option parts http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hpi-cnc-engine-cooling-mount-set-trophy-series-black-/rc-car-products/366948 but don't know if their lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswhewell Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 no worries mate. we are all here for the same reason. i may buy them engine mounts if they are infact lower. prob the only way to check is to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpk1 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I didn`t remove my pull start and i use a starter box, never had any probs. Always got pull start if box runs flat. On another car of mine i had to put a bigger flywheel on, easily done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpk1 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Im sure thats what size mine was changed to il have a quick measure later today, you can also make the opening bigger in the chassis plate which i have also had to do with my Virus as the wheel was catching and shredding it.
