TheWiseRabbit Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 hi all. my nephew bought the above car. we went to the park to break it in today. we couldnt even get to the breaking in process as the pull start was soooooo tight. it would only pull out about an inch at best. ive never broken in another buggy apart from my stealth so is this common with hypers or other buggies? i was afraid if i pulled too hard the cord would snap also does anyone have any tips on breaking in a hyper black? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATZY Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 firstly when breakin in any nitro you want to heat the engine up first with a hot hair dryer or heat gun, you can also undo the glowplug about a 1/4 turn to relieve some of the compression then do it straight back up again when its fired up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazj10 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 perfectly normal mate , the engine will be tight as,, heat it up to start off with ( using hairdryer )then try again , but get it nice and toastie, once its fired up and been running and heated up it will be slightly easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyardshift Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 i just ran in my hyper 7 black and the pull start was very easy to pull i think ive got a dodgy engine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamodabest Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Ive got a hyper 7 black and the engine was really hard to get going. Just heat it up and that should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWiseRabbit Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 thanks for the replies chaps. to be honest the manual did say heat the engine with a hair dryer but i never needed to do it with my buggy when breaking it in so thought it wouldnt be necessary. obviously i was wrong...first time EVER! lol will try it tomorrow. thanks again peeps!

Kyzer Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Check my post on here mate under hyper7 help,I had the same problem and got loads of great advice,after u heat up the engine if it still jams use a screwdriver to turn the fly wheel underneath to help things along,, keep trying mate sounds like u have a great engine being tight :-) u using Byron 16% fuel for break in first time ??

Smoothybb Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 If your engine is that tight, make sure you return the piston to BDC between cycles (as with any break-in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
