Can I use any nitro pull start on any nitro R/C car?
I have a Thunder Tiger nitro R/C car (with a .18 engine) and, stupidly I took the pull starter off and now I cant find it. Ive had a look around and I cant seem to find the same pull starter for it, so I was wondering if I could use any pull starter.
Some might fit, but others will have the screw holes in completely different positions.
They all spin in the same direction, so the only thing you're looking for is one with the screw holes in the same position.
Also, depending on the car and chassis you should be able to use a starter box to start it. No more blisters or aching arms by yanking on the pull start so much.
