Ghetto Bump Box

[alpinehyperlite]

I was talking to this dude at my lhs today, (old as rolex) when he was looking around the shop amazed, especially when he heard about the traxxas ez-start, when he looked at me and said, i remember when we used to use A spinning bike tire to start their rigs So, if you ever need to start a buggy, with no bump box, turn a bike upside down, start spinning the rear tire with the pedal's and bump it!

I'm sure if I tried that, I'd lose a finger some how.

That's how they used to start the motors back in the early days of control line racing. Just remember to remove the card from the spokes first.

My kids ditched bikes long ago for roller blades, skateboards ect.... or I guarantee I would have tried it.

Hell... I remember doing both the card in the spokes and starting my control line plane with the bike wheel
Kinda admitting I'm an old git
