squarecrumpets Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 COPS for sure. If you want the old non-COPS Hyper 21, look for 'Fastrax Enduro 21' which is the same engine. HoBao don't do non COPS anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can stick in a better receiver like maybe the FS-GT5 and an engine of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cord can break easily and you can't use Roto start systems with them. I'm just about to post the PDFs on my thread with an external site. Give me 5 mins.

nareshpatel101 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I have the Hobao ST Truggy totally solid machine. Very well built and easy to strip down and rebuild. Engine wise couldn't really say as I brought it 2nd hand and it came with a HPI F star 3.5 engine. But I now have a Hyper 21 3 port which I built from scratch and struggled to get going st 1st but now seem to be getting there with it slowly but surely.Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squarecrumpets Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 36 minutes ago, Jumper said: well yes you cant use a roto start with a pullstart, but that doesn't make it bad. That wasn't my point. It's about the lack of the option. With other pullstart engines you could convert them to roto start by changing the backplate. With COPS this is impossible without changing the crankshaft, main bearing etc. The cost for converting COPS back to the old style pullstart or roto start is about £100. At least the non COPS design gives one the option to upgrade to roto start in the future. The other thing is, many have complained that COPS breaks a lot quicker than a normal pull start system.

squarecrumpets Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Just now, Jumper said: fair enough. i think people will be snapping them because they pull it out too far or completely flood the engine. probably because if the bigger handle. Yeah possible. Also if one loses the handle then it’s hard to start. The other problem is due to the design, the cord runs all the way up to that round green knob that the handle attaches to. This annoys me because the cord is lubricated in some kind of green grease and it easily gets onto my fingers between the knuckles when I pull start. With the normal pull starter the handle is T shaped so the cord doesn’t run up close to your fingers. This is my 2nd biggest complaint apart from not being able to roto start.
