engine bump start?
 

whats that?


LRP 32809 Z.28R Z28R SPEC 3 TRUGGY.28 ENGINE BUMP START has no pull start or roto start and are un-reliable, create excess heat and lots of drag on the crankshaft ... reducing horsepower and torque???? is it true?

RE: engine bump start?
 

Actually the opposite. Not having a pull starter or roto start back plate decreases weight and takes the load off the motor. You use a starter box that has a rubber wheel and the wheel contacts the flywheel to start the motor. Many racers use them.

It won't work on any of your MT's (Savage, MGT and LST2?), you won't be able to start them. In order to use a bump start, the flywheel needs to be accessible from the bottom of the truck, and it's not on the 3 trucks listed above.

[link=http://www.smfstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=952]LRP #32802[/link] is the same engine but with a pullstart, if that's what you're interested in.

Pullstarts and roto-starts do add a slight amount of drag and weight to the engine, but it's negligible and I doubt you'd ever notice the difference in performance.
