Converting to non-pull start
I have a Mach .28 on my hyper which has a pull start which broke a while back. since then I've been using a starter box which is probably the best investment I've made in this hobby.
I was wondering what parts I would have to buy to convert it to non-pull start. I was wondering if this would do the trick.

awesum cheers mate...at the moment its still running with a pullstart cover on...which adds drag and gets in the way of the manifold.

RE: Converting to non-pull start
nah i just cracked my mach .28 open. the pullstart has an insert that comes out of the centre of the crank leaving a hollow pin with the con rod on it, but nothing sits proud of the con rod.
Good thinking though 46u.

RE: Converting to non-pull start
Some engines have a different crank for pull start version plain back is why I asked. Most times if it does you can cut the crank. But glade in this case he will not need to do anything.

RE: Converting to non-pull start
How much of a negative effect do pull-starts actually have on performance? Is it a noticeable amount, or so minor that it is only worth it for serious racers?

RE: Converting to non-pull start
I have a hyper tq rtr that is a pull start and one day i was a track in slough and they saw i was having trouble starting my car and a shop called hc models made me a costom starter box to fit my car and it still has the pull start on it. What im trying to say is maybe it might be cheaper just to get a starter box
