DeadMeatUK Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I would feel better if it still had the pull start as a backup and was made by a more credible manufacture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I love roto starts on a nitro because for me it helps starting, but on a 2 stroke that starts after 2-3 pulls i dont see the need......if it were cheaper i might get one though!

Leo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've got the FID remote starter, tried fitting it today and the ESC went up in smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic2810 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I use the killer version I use when breaki ng in a motor as my bench to high to use a pull starter and I have little legs Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've also got the killer rc power starter, it's a nice bit of kit but it struggles to start my obr engine. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharrel Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 A petrol engine in a 1/5th scale should start within 3-5 pulls. If it doesn't you have an issue somewhere. I don't see the point in drill starts, IMO they're a waste of money + you have to carry a drill around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanp Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 i carry a drill around normaly anywaysafter priming 3 pulls with choke then 5/6 pulls after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyra Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I don't see the point, adding unnecessary mass for no performance gain whatsoever. What effort you are saving on a few pulls of the starter you'll be pouring back into keeping the drill charged. What happens on the day you forget to bring the drill or the battery is flat? The remote starter sounds even worse. If that enhances your experience, then good luck to you. To me it sounds like a lot of hassle to solve a problem that isn't there, not to mention probably making it more likely you will flood your engine.

Pistonhead Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I wouldn't bother tbh, metal pawled pullstarts can be had for 10-12 quid and is a 2 minute replacement. Don't see the point in them, carrying a 5th scale around is bulky enough without carrying a drill to start it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanp Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 alright thanxs guys it was only a thought likes now on a more serious note ive bent the front chassis brace anyone got any good ideas for an upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enid_Puceflange Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 http://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/product/Stainless-Steel-Front-Guard-Plate.php For the front kick up, Once you start to straighten that you are weakening it Then itll snap, this'll. Sort the bottom out, I think the innovative top brace is in flavour justnow G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanp Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 my dad knows his stuff when it comes to straitening things, he also knows how to reinforce things as well now i need to get me a nice thick plate of reinforced aluminium gonna make me a back brace becuase the existing one looks slightly bent we can get it quite cheaply aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
