New pull starter recommendations needed!

[rccar new]

Yesterday was trying to start my hsp 94108 nitro truck and the pull starter snapped

I can't decide between the electric starter that is a brick with a rod or to just buy another pull starter. (The electric starter with a battery and charger $80 and arrives later in august. On the other hand the pull starter is 5 bucks about.


Thank you for the recommendation!

Buy the brick one. Also buy the pull one.

I'm a fan of the pull start myself.

Thank you for the recommendation!

I've snapped one myself, mostly due to inexperience and having a hard time starting/breaking in the engine. I think they're still pretty reliable, especially once you've got the feel for it.

The "brick" starter shouldn't run you $80, more like $20. Another $20 for a battery, fair, but it should be possible to charge it with the same charger you're using for your nimh receiver pack (assuming you're using one), maybe just with a little plug adapter.

I like pullstarts but... preferably on smallblocks

Mine broke but held on for a nitro bigblock day so the $5 pullstart should be enough for a smallblock
