engine difficulty

the nitro sport i have has a broken pull start which the spring broke. Well the thing is im wondering if i can take a drill and start the engine with the 1 way bearing with the glow starter in? Also can i put in a bigger motor in place of the traxxas trx pro .15 engine? kinda stupid to ask but i got this car 4 free and i have little knowlege about traxxas engines. well thanx for reading! :D

You could probably drop a bigger motor in there but I am not sure which ones will work; but that starter problem happened to me when i had my Maximum MT (POS) Pull starter went to hell, so i thought "hey i'll just use a drill" and it worked pretty dam good. Should work for you as long as you use a fairly powerful drill. (fully charged 12V cordless worked for mine but 14.4V cordless is better :D )

good luck

thanks i wanted to drop a .21 in there but the thing is its only 2wd and might that be a bit of an over kill? thanks ne way!
