I got my new Hyper 7 black edition broken in today but later I broke my pull start.[:@] Can anybody link me a site that sells pullstarts for the hyper 7's? I have the .21 3port engine if that helps to find which one. If so let me know thanks[8D]

How'd that happen

Thanks dude you really made my day I thought it was going to be a pain to find.[8D]

how did you break it?

I was getting to excited and didn't do fast pulls.[:@]

hehe

Yeah I also was late for work because I didn't know I had to work today.[X(]

That would be a problem

Yeah but my manager understood so it was all good.

I find it useful to pull in short fast bursts and parallel to the ground.

Thanks, well what I usually do is pull a quick fast one and then it usually fires up I guess my glow starter was low battery and I was just too excited to tell so I kept pulling it.

I have an older Ofna Ultra MBX with a Picco and I've broken a few pullstarts over the years. There are a few good threads on the internet showing how to rebuild them...using a couple small zip ties to hold everthing together and not slice-up your fingers doing it. I repaired mine recently in about 10 minuets, and it works better than ever.

yeah, you could probably fix it

Yeah I called my LHS today and they ordered one for me.

OK, maybe I'll get hung drawn and quartered for this....but i have a XTM-Xterminator XT-2 RTR with the XTM .21 engine with a pull start. It was my first every RC anything!! (still have it) I broke the pull start twice (once the exact same way you're talking about MERC) and finally gave up with it. I bought a bump starter and just cut the cord of the pull starter as close to the engine while it was pulled out all the way. Now i just use the bump starter and all is fine. Never replaced a thing on the motor (other than the plugs) and it still runs very well (it's my basher).

Maybe I'm wrong (and i've never asked) having done that rather than taking the pull starter assembly off and replacing it with a proper back plate, but everything still works fine and it starts right up. A lot easier than a pull starter by the way....[&:]

People say pull starts are the best usually to go with but I almost want to maybe see about a roto start, how are they?

Leaving the pull start back plate and using a starter box is fine if you don't care about the extra drag to the engine.

it happened to my hyper 7 black edition too.
i was wondering why it breaks so easily.
if i get a new one from a .28 engine will it break just as easy

AirlandHobbies has a bunch of pull start parts, here is the page to the Ofna one.

www.nitrohouse.com is the main distibutor for ofna/hyper stuff, in fact they are ofna.

You could try a starter box. My hyper 7's pull start also broke, but that was because the factory messed up and the flywheel was loose. Hobby guys fixed it for me.

Yeah hows your buggy is it broken in yet, I got my new pullstart today, and now it runs great![8D]

I found the pull start concept on a nitro engine as a form of anger management.........take the pull start off, hold it in your left or right hand which ever one you throw best with and cock back and give that damn little demon device a sky ride into the abiss. Then slap on a backplate and use a starter box

ha ha

Well it worked for me after I mastered the fine art of rewinding them lil *******s...........never again lol
