What is a bump start? And what is WOT?
Just wondering, im a noob.
RCs without a pull starting system have an opening in the chassis that provides access to the flywheel. The RC is placed on top of a starter box that has an electric-powered spinning rubber disk sticking out of it that makes contact with the vehicle's flywheel and rotates it to start the engine. This is known as a bump start system because the flywheel is bumped against the disk in the starter box to get the engine started.
WOT = Wide Open Throttle
