EZ Start to Pull Start

[jsu0234m]

I want to change from an EZ start system on my REVO to a pull start. Is it a direct bolt on or do i have to buy anything besides a traxxas pull start and a glow plug ignitor? I'm tired of the ez start. Thanks

It would not hurt to get another one way bearing.

I thought about that, but is it a direct fit, like no other changes except taking ez start off and bolting on the pull start?

You got it. Direct bolt on. Just make sure your tune is good or you'll be pullin' more than drivin'.

I used the EZ start on my revo for a while and also got tired of it. I put the pull start on it and used that a while. I just put a sirio .27 in the revo and the EZ sart just went back on. I soldered the wires onto the starter to save myself the frustration. The ez start is much more convenient. Just clean/replace the OWB and solder the wires on the starter and it will give no more trouble IMHO.

I proffer the pull-start as well. The ez-start was handy, but it doesn't tell you much about what the engine is doing. The pull-start lets you know when it's flooded and when compression is getting bad. A well tuned engine will start in a couple pulls once the engine is primed.

Even when I used an EZ, I still used a seperate heater to heat the plug before the engine started turning over. Helped it start up a lot quicker. Kind of surprised traxxas didn't include a two position switch for that on their ez-start. Half push to warm the plug, then after a few seconds, push further to fire it up.

Thanks I'm gonna put the pull start on when i get home, and try it in this 40 degree weather.

Better heat the engine up first or crack the glow plug loose until it starts. Or both.
