pull start
Yesterday i was tuning my rex x when it cut out, so i went to restart it and there was no pull start. It had a peice of tubing to make it longer, but this made it get caught in the wheel and get torn off. I had to take off the engine to get the pull start unit off. When i got it off i found that it had a spring insided, i thought i would see how long it was and it sprang out and it was about a mile long. Then i finally repared it and the string snapped, there was a little bit hanging out so i put that through the handle and now i have a short pull start that doesnt get caught in things.
I put this on to tell people not to pull the spring out like i did!

RE: pull start
Well.. the pull start seems to be the onlything last lasts with consistency with my t-maxx engine (2.5). I guess the size of the engines make all the differance.
