For 70 dollars the T-15 is a very good egine.

I just bought an Rush Evo off Ebay and I was able to get it started no problem and to idle with hardly any tuning. They guy I bought it from was in Utah over 7000'above sea level. I am in Pennsylvania and maybe 1000' above sea level. The engine is supposed to have about 1 gallon through it but it has a lot of compression.

It's doesnt have great top end, but it does have good low end torq and is easy to tune.

The roto start is something you should look into. No more pullstarts. I also checked on my other truck, Duratrax Maximum MT and the roto start plate and gears will fit on that too.

yea i dont liek roto start and i got teh old nitro rush which i like more than the evo for some reason...anyways roto start isnt good for me cuz i like to just go off in teh middle of teh woods and drive and i only care glow ignitor, a few tools, and fuel...pull start is great for teh way i drive it just isnt working on teh .15 fe engine for some reason

Sounds like you're pulling out the pullstarter too far. They're not supposed to come out more than about 10 inches or so (I lost my book so I'm operating on memory here... ) Anyway, try not yanking it so far out.

Get like a backpack or something to put it in...

don't just buy a new pull starter each time. take it apart and work on it. it is frustrating, yes, i would know. it took me some where around 1.5 hours to fix my cause the spring kept flyin' out right as i tried to close the pullstart up. be patient and work carefully. atleast it saves you a few bucks every time that happens. and next time don't just yank as hard as you can, do small 5-10 inch tugs quickly and when you hear it want to start, give one good tug, not all the way out, just real quick and firm. thats how i start my and my starts beautifully every time, no problem.

yeah ive gone thro about 5 pullstarts since xmas. now ive got a good 1 and have run it 4 a bout a month no probs... if it wont start i use an industrila heat gun (electic not flame) to warm up the motor and fuel first... but only give it about 10-12 inches and firm hard tugs
