EZ Start -> a Pull Start
 
What all would I need to do to convert an EZ start into a pull start? (Traxxas 2.5)

ChaseQ 05-13-2003 01:00 AM

Are you crazy?!?!?!?!
 
Why would you do that? I just got my tmaxx 3 days ago. My buddy got a rc10gt.

When I start mine, I have an extra hand, tune throtle, scratch my butt! What-ever!

While he has to hold the GT with one hand while yanking the cord with the other. Then quickly trying to grab the controler to give it some throttle. The whole time hoping the stupid glow plug warmer doesnt fall off!

My ez start makes him soooo jelous!

Fix it if you broke it, but for Gods sakes man dont remove it!
Its the best thing to happen to these things!

Can I get an AMEN? :o

Packer,
Good point about the racing thing. But I gotta tell you, I would rather loose every race because of the ez start, than my lazy-ass yank on those stupid ropes for hours! (can hurt you hand, blisters)

These hands are for race'n and lov'n, if you cathch my drift!

can I get an AMEN?

AFTER HOURS!!! of searching (j/k) i found a pull starter

heres the pull starter scroll down a little

"RECOIL PULL STARTER FOR TRX 2.5: Use the TRX 2.5 recoil pull starter for racing applications where weight savings are critical. It is all new and engineered for long-lasting, trouble free operation. It includes a heavy-duty spring and cord. Installation requires the starter backplate (#5274) and starter shaft (#5277) (EZ-Start equipped motors already have these parts installed). If the engine was not originally equipped with a starter, then a different crankshaft is also required. Use Traxxas part 5219 (IPS) or 5221 (multi-shaft) crankshaft.

Part #5170 Recoil Pull Starter
for TRX 2.5
Suggested retail price $20.00

Part #5219 Crankshaft, IPS
(for engines w/starter)
Suggested retail price $36.00

Part #5221 Crankshaft, multi-shaft

Amen! Pull starts suck! I use the EZ start on my Maxx, and a starter box on my RC 10. I'd get out of the hobby before I'd ever go back to using pull starters.
