Default RE: Troubleshooting steps if nitro won't start?

well i suppose i could try it out one car and see how i like it, the thing is that i'm tearing up my fingers i don't know what i'm doing or how i'm pulling it but the skin is coming off on the sides of my fingers from where i hold the pull start i guess it's sliding between my fingers somehow, i have to end up putting band-aids. i guess i'm pulling it too much and not trying to figure out what's the actual problem and just thinking that i'm not pulling it right or if i keep trying it will eventually start, i'll make sure to note " If it doesn't start in 5-10, maybe 15 pulls, it's not going to start. " and to start troubleshooting.

ah ok, that's a good thing to keep in mind then, I probably shouldn't do it then, wouldn't want to further mess anything up.

Well you should get other opinions on it. My friend loves his Roto start on HPI. He thinks I'm nuts for liking pull starts. I just think if it's going to start it's going to start. There's been about three times where I've just sat there and pulled and pulled and then when I was done pulling I said "yup, the pull start works". If it doesn't start in 5-10, maybe 15 pulls, it's not going to start. Most of the time my engines either start or cough in two pulls. If not I've learned to stop and look at whats going on.
