You will have to trim the body opening around the engine a bit larger for the handle. I did this after seeing the interference problem and works great.

What you did sounds great, just make sure nothing is exposed to dirt.

Pull cord handle tends to get caught in the throttle linkage and can cause the Rc throttle stick!

Update - lots of dirt track running since I did this mod and no problems at all. Also, included a picture of it.

Status: offline 		So on the body mount, put the paper clip through the bottom hole - the starighten out the rest of the paper clip and? Sorry, but I was just wanting to know where it leads from the body mount. I put the paper clip throught the body mount hole, but it seems to me with the motor hear, the paper clip with it's coating would melt, as well as wrapping it around ot wedging it would cause some damage or hazard.

Thanks for any help you can provide me.

you can find em on ebay too. Need the starter wand and a cordless drill. Works great. fast gear ratio to really spin the motor fast..

The one for my engine and the factory shockwave motor is part number S680. The most common one..
