Yes, you get blisters. May want to find some thin gloves or wrap a couple pieces of surgical tape around those areas of your fingers if you want to try to stop them.

I don't know why but have never gotten a blister from pullstarters. I've my share of stubborn engines but I've never had a blister because of them...:shrug:

I pull start my HPI K4.6 a .28 all the time, no probs...also done a XTM 24.7, HPI S-25...my Wasp .28 probably would have left some blisters, that thing has soooo high compression. Its on roto start now though.

I'm with AC...No blisters here.....Although I have never had a big block with pullstart.

Manly Men don't get blisters....Ehh AC?

If you prime it and tune it correctly, a pull-start should crank up in no more than 3-10 pulls. If it doesn't you're doing something wrong. (No blisters so far. )

Well said, Mr T is right on this one.

If you are worried about blisters, you can always get a starter box or roto start conversion for it. :violin:

I get blisters from the hobby, but not from pull starts. It happens like this........
First, I spend too much on my buggy. Then the wife cuts me off.

That's when the blisters start.

Too funny, considering your other thread!!!!

 

[PiErow]

I pull start my s-25 and it takes 25-50 pulls to get going no blisters. I hate the damn engine. My collari will be here this week...

How is the mach .26 as a pullstart??
I was thinking of getting one for the mGT after a while.
