Well i thought today i would hook up my drill to the motor and see if i could get atleast a bark out of it but nothing. Turns over and over but doesn't start. I don't know if the ignator is bad or truck is flooded? This is my first nitro so i am not sure how to get it to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Ha found out my truck is a duratrax maxium st pro with a torq 16 motor if that helps any......

Are you priming it? Can you see the fuel getting into the carb? Is the glow plug ok? Try a new plug and put a new battery in the ignitor, if it still does not start then put the carburator settings back to factory and try to start it then.

Ok it is getting fuel as i flooded it on accident. I took the glo plug out and it gets red with the battery installed. I will see about adjusting the carb back to stock.

OK important question is should i buy a pull starter for this .16torq motor or buy a new .15torq motor for it?

maby u should reset the high speed and low speed to stock and retune from there

Ok how do i do that? Sorry noob to this.

Oh yeah what is the easiest way to start a nitro without a pull starter?

A Starter box

ah and how much does that usually cost?

google.

New $50-$80,, used Less

may choices

Yeah ebay has a ton of them on there cheaper for sale. Which one would be the best one though?

Best?
Best is a realitive term, they all are about the same IMHO

I used the cheap Ofna box for years,,, similar to this one http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBN23&P=0
it was the best for me because it was cheep and it worked for years

I had one of these too, it worked fine also

You'll need a battery and a charger also

good luck

if u wanna reset ur needles to stock ur gonna have to download the owners manual for ur truck in the manual it should tell u the stock settings!! havefun and enjoy.

OK i will do that. Download manual.

No, you want a 1/10th scale box, that blue one is for 1/8th, the other is a batttery/switch thingy for a jato that has a built in starter

Ah ok so look for 1/10th scale starter ok. I have a question about this pull starter:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I am assuming it is to small for this motor right? I got it to bark tonight with just my drill but that is not working out so great lol....

Ok is there much difference between a .15abc and a .16torq motor pull start?
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXWW03&P=X
comes with bearing and everything. Should work for my truck right? I can't find the replacement pull starter on towerhobbies.com

I'll be honest man seeing its a used engine I wouldn't dump a ton of cash trying to get it started. I did that on my 1st nitro and gave up eventually and bought a new engine. I later found out that the motor was shot that I got with my 1st truck.

A nice engine that is relatively cheap that looks like it MIGHT fit is a HPI Nitro Star T-15. It was the 1st engine I bought new and is extremely easy to tune and pretty reliable. Its also really fuel efficient. a 75cc tank gets around 15-20 minutes of run time, I've ran about 80-85% of a bottle of nitro through mine, and it still starts on the 2nd-3rd stroke of the piston. Hell it still has the same glow plug in it that it was shipped in even.

Yeah pull starter is 29.99 on ebay and a new motor .15torq is 49.99 so i might just buy a new motor.

Actually a broken pull starter on my 1st nitro was what lead me to a new motor lol
I had a Nitro Star .15FE which was discontinued around 8 years ago, and for a pullstart they wanted $55...
I saw the Nitro Star T-15 and was like OK $10 more I get a brand new motor with a pullstart on it... kinda a brainless decision there

But yea thats the only issue with used nitros. You almost immediately need a new engine. Every used one that I've got the engine has been totaled and only usable as a paperweight (BTW dropping old nitros in a bucket of degreaser over night really gets them clean if you go with the paperweight route )

Yep thinking .01torg is nothing and 49.99 is pretty cheap for a nitro motor.

if you get a new engine you may want to consider a traxxas pro .15. you can buy it and the traxxas starter on tower for around $150 shiped.
