Well a starter box spins the Flywheel directly from under the car, you set the car on the box, line the Flywheel up with the little rubber cog on the starter box, and push down and it will spin the engine over, there are adjustable bump stops so to speak so when you adjust em correctly, when you...
personally i would skip the dynamite cuz I've seen in a couple vids of them snapping the connecting rod, plus it for how much it is, theres better options in ur list
the jp1 is good but if ur going for the alpha that pipe it comes with was picked for that engine becuase it performs the best with it. I'm sure u know that though. Other than the alpha id get the hobao hyper .21 or the fastrax enduro
I'm saying the alpha a club racer with pipe combo because if I'm not wrong, ryan lutz (a nitro racer) designed em so they are definetly good. also it comes with great pipe, iis a bump box engine, has great specs, quality parts, and just looks REALLY nice quality, that don't really mean much but i...
Personally I wouldn't cut the chassis. Not worth it. You'll void ur Warranty and pull start motors aren't that good because you loose rpm due to the crank shaft connected to the starter shaft so more drag, and those back plates love to create air leaks, Not good! I'd just get me a bump box and a...
I'm curious on this aswell. the specs are good but you never really know until you run it. it looks very very similar (the crankcase not the head) to the SH.21, which if iit is a rebranded SH, it can't be horrible, my sh.21 waas a trooper! i beat that thing hard until after 5 months (it was...
i actually do agree with @D3MON becuase since you don't really have any experience with nitro, id get the hong nor, dirt cheap and you can learn on it and beat the heck out of it and when ur ready you can get a nicer engine.
i do not think those motor mount would work as the rtr 8t and 8b are based off the 3.0 chassis, the race kits are the 4.0 and are way different and better quality. could be wrong but as of now I've havent seen someone use a pull start engine on a 4.0
that's the 8t rtr, they are very different. first because the 8t is a truggy and second, those motor mounts are designed for a pull start. The kits are race kits and the motor mounts are meant for bump boxes from what i can see. Also i do like bump boxes becuase they reduce the chance of air...
Out of your choices id get the fastrax. But allow me to state my opinion, personally, i wouldn't get get any of those becuase a they are rtr level and cheap-ish quality (dunno about the fastrax cuz I've never heard of em) in my experience. IF i were you id save for a novarossi. But hey, your...
