Nightlife85 -> Kyosho mantis GP (5/11/2008 1:08:01 AM)

So ive had this car for like 10years it spent 5 just sitting in my closet till one day i was bored and pulled it out. i tottally rebuilt the engine and took most of the car apart and cleaned it, i wasnt really expecting the kyosho GX12 to start up cuz my gasket to the engine was just about worn out, but after bout 10min it started up and ran perfect, well i started to run it more and more and the other day the pullstart broke, i took it off and the recoil spring had broke off. Ive looked everywhere for a pullstart for this engine with no luck, cept for on ebay and thats in the UK and i dont really wanna ship internationally for it, anyone know of a another brand that will fit a GX12, or a diffrent brand of engine what will fit. I know the car is discontinued and its hard to find parts for, but it stills runs like i pulled it outta the box.

Is this a FWD version?

Anyway, I know Kyosho parts are hard to get and to be honest if I was you I wouldn't worry about shipping from UK unless shipping costs are really expensive.
Check out if there is a part # for your pullstart in the manual and do a google search like that or maybe even try to order it through your LHS
If everything fails, you can buy a cheap motor as a replacement as I think those GX12's were seriously underpowered
