Hey guys, so after the fate my first NX-26 suffered I ebay-ed another brand new one last night. My ? now is at what point is it safe to install my existing roto tech starter onto my new motor. I HATE the pull starter!!! I have heard conflicting answers so any help is appreciated. thank you.

I believe that CEN says after a gallon it should be ok. The GST pull starter is probably a lot harder to pull then the 26 and I have no problems with pulling it, just use gloves.

matty did you buy a new nx 26 or a different brand motor we do recomend after a gallon installing that on the 7.7 but on the nx 26 you can install it right after break in,.

Oh, i didnt realize it was only on the 7.7. Silly me

dark fire its not just for the 7.7 it wil work on 26 as well

No I meant that the after a gallon you can use the pull start on the 7.7 and the nx 26 you dont have to wait.

oh i see yes that is true you have to wait with the gen motor to much compression

Matty,

Ok ok...you're going to get several different opinions on this matter....

From a fellow RC dude who HATES pullstarts.... here's my experience:

After the 3rd tank through my NX-26 (when it DID run) I installed the Roto-start and
Result = No complications

I used to own a Jato 3.3 with a roto-start. Used it from the first fire up breaking it in.
Result = No complications

Now, I purchased the O.S. Engine I mentioned in your last thread. Used a roto-start from first fire up
Result = No complications

Oh yeah, Did I mention this is the same roto-start I've had for 2 years?

Yeah..you'll be fine. Keep the power source charged for the roto-start and do not operate it in one consistent shot for too long and it will last you a long time with any engine IMO.

Don't fear the Roto
