calum101 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 my pull start really annoys me so i was thinking of at some point either fitting a roto start or buying a starter box. Theres only really one option for the roto start and its around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adolf hamster Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 personally i'd say roto start as its less to carry round. remember your gonna need batteries and a charger for whatever you buy. i had a roto start [and yes it shredded bearings but it was the fault of the engine] and it was so easy to start the engine, still slightly bulky to carry but certainly worth the money on saved plasters for blisters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 If you have a starter box you can still keep the pull start so if there is a time when you really cant be bothered to cary the starter box you can just use the pull start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCChris Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 when you put the 1 way back in you don't need to take the 1 way bearing out when using a starter box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 you don't need to take the 1 way bearing out when using a starter box.even on my mach 28 hobao?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCChris Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 even on my mach 28 hobao?? Why would you need to? The point of the one way bearing is that when the engine is spinning it doesn't turn the pull start mechanism. A starter box simply turns the engine as it would when running, the one way bearing slips as it should and will protect the pull start.

I threw the broken pullstart away. just get a backplate for it,and leave the spindle in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smash_bash Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Question about a starter box. would it be possible to hook them up to a car battery to get them running? I always drive to where ever im running my car so the one thing i always have is my real car!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
