pullstarts
anyone know of any other pullstart that fits the avalanche sh28? the stock ones keep breaking and at 30 bucks a piece its getting expensive.

RE: pullstarts
You should buy some pullstart string at your local hardware store and re-string them yourself. It's really not that hard, takes 10-15 min. I bought a a whole roll of string for $9, enough to re-string it 50+ times.

RE: pullstarts
Don't take it wrong but the Pull start on the SH engines are some of the strongest on the market.............Proper instructions on pull starting a nitro engine would probably stop the problem................That being said there is only one starting system I know of just made for the SH engines and thats a [link=http://xtm-dealer.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=180]SURE START[/link] good luck
That would be the way to stop the problem with out learning anything...........LOL

RE: pullstarts
rclynx I found and ordered a tiger drive yesterday they look pretty good but do you have a link to the instructions you speak of? I am fairly new to nitro but I have never pulled any of them to the end of the string obviously that would be bad.

RE: pullstarts
Is it pretty much always the string that breaks? I am still on my original, but the string is starting to look pretty bad. I will try the local hobby and hardware stores for string. Do the springs break?

RE: pullstarts
My pullstart broke(wouldn't recoil) on my volcano after a couple of months because she got flooded and i wasn't paying attention. I wanted to run again right away so i took it off. The end of the spring jumped out of the groove that keeps tension. So after some cursing and persistence I recoiled the spring, wound up the string and haven't had a problem yet. I am sure if I ever need to replace it, for the same price(or cheaper) you can get a roto start backplate and put a dogbone in your cordless drill.
