this is my first christmas having a nitro truck and i do not know how to start it in cold weather. i tried today but it was like 32 degrees and it was hard to pull the pullstart and wouldnt start no matter what i did. so i was wondering if i need to start it in my house, or heat up my garage or something to get it to start easier. like a choke on a dirt bike or adjustments?:\:\:\

Gotta get it warm first. Bring it outta the house and start it pronto. You might have to wrap the head with a baby sock or tin foil to keep the temps up. Don't lean it to achieve this!!!
 
Do NOT start it in your house! Use a hair dryer to heat up the engine before you go outside. Be ready to go as soon as you get outside, once it's cold again it'll be hard to start.
 
lol thx ill try those right now. should i heat up the cooling head or near the piston?
 
yeah yesterday i tried it and it started up with no problems
thx for the help.
the only bad thing is that i got in trouble for leaving my moms hairdrier out.
:hehe:
 
don't mess with a womans hair care stuff, be it hair dryer or a brush DON'T MESS WITH IT i made the mistake of using my wife's hair dryer for the same thing and i burnt it up, she didn't talk to me till i bought her the "Hair dryer of her dreams" . :hehe:
