And be sure the clutch setting on the drill is set to slip. If the engine locks up for some reason, you might break something.

I'll go somewhere in the middle. I'd say it's a very good (not great) car at a great price. I sure wouldn't call them "a piece of crap" though. Parts are hard to come by unless you order from them. Parts are cheap, but shipping is a killer. He needed a $3.00 part, and the shipping was $8.95. His...

Walter is my alter ego. I truly believe that is me in a few years.

It's up to you, but I'd get a roto start backplate and get one of Scroggs starters. Ater using a mechanical means of starting an engine, I'll never go back to a pull start. Call me lazy, but I'm all for anything that dosen't require manual labor. That includes pulling a pull starter on a stbborn...

Even if it dosen't run, you can use the HPI trade up deal and still be money ahead. There's not much on that car that can't be repaired or replaced for very little money. I think you got a deal.

Buy one or both of Scrogg's roto start units. Good price..

I like my HPI RS4 3

I'm watching this thread. A friend of mine is having the same problem (but with an OFNA car).

I wouldn't like the bi=weekly thing. But I could get in to the 0530-1400

Well, I guess I'm the lucky one here. I retired in 2006. Now all I have to do is mess around in the woodshop, tinker with the RC's and watch my grandson 3 days a week. But I know how you feel. For 25 years I was a deputy sheriff. We worked a 7a-3p, a 3p-11p, 11p-7a and a swing shift where you...

I'll be watching this thread. I'm having the same problem using 20% Byron's fuel.

Damn Taz..You work for them or something?

Whew!! Glad to see I'm NOT the old man here.:hehe: How many years you got me by?

I guess I'm the old man so far. I'll be 54 on the 16th of this month. I really don't mind being called an old geezer. I retired nearly 3 years ago from the Sheriff's Office. Gives me more time to play with my car. when my 18 year old son got his nitro car, I had to have one too. The hobby just...

Sounsd like it's gonna weigh a ton

Well, I got my PE-1 in the mail today from A Main Hobbies. Hopefully, I'll be able to get out and run the car a little this weekend. If I do, I'll let you know what I think of it.

I mauled over the same question for several weeks. I just ordered the Pro-Exotics PE-1 last week. From the sound of things, I made the right choice. Cost me less than $30.00 (including shipping) from A-Main Hobbies.

I normally hunt them, but it's a bit too early here. It's not really been warm enough for them yet. I only take two kinds. They are the only kind I know is safe to eat. We call them sponges and spikes (or dog peckers). Soak them in salt water overnight, roll them in flour and fry to a golden...

Thanks guys..I give it a try and see what happens.

My son-in-law's OFNA Force .12 is very hard to start. It has been broken in and after that, about 1/2 gal of fuel has been put through it. Problem is getting it started. Once it starts, it runs like a bat out of hell. Great take off, good top end, and good smoke trail. I can't say what the temps...
