Worth a gamble? thanks Arthur no probs mate. happy to help out, if i can. the kit.... it might fit, but im not 100%. wouldnt want to say yes, and you waste your money. upto you, if you want to gamble. its your money you really need an exploded engine diagram, with parts list on it, to be certain. either that, or get measurements of everything, and make sure the bolt holes line up, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno-Chris Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 i noticed the block on yours, has different shaped cooling fins, so it is most likely an older version engine. this is parts diagram, of the current version. im not sure if the 2 engines are the same tho. they might use different parts.

Stormbringer Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 those pins usually have a spring behind them so you will need that as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve checked the manual and it doesn’t look like I’m missing a spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RcTT01 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 So my new parts arrived today! Pull start with spring and pin New air filter foam New shell I fitted the pull start and air filter foam and although Iv only got old fuel I had a go at starting it. The pull start worked a treat and after a few attempts it started! The car isn’t running very well or for very long, which il put down to the bad fuel but I also imagine it needs to be tuned! I had a play around with tuning it but I wasn’t making any progress with my knowledge and the old fuel. Are there any good tutorials / videos on tuning a nitro engine? For basically a beginner! Would anyone local to Wiltshire be willing to give me a hand? Happy to provide beers or cash! Thanks again for all the help! Im happy Iv actually got it started!
