In this video you will learn how to replace the pull starter of an RC Nitro Vehicle with Electric Drill starter or power starter. This video is made for RedCat Racing Arizona USA and is one of the many tutorials on RC Nitro Vehicles that I am doing. Im using VX.18 Engine of RedCat Racings Shockwave 1/10 Scale 4WD RC Nitro Buggy. Don't forget to check www.redcatracing.com, www.metacafe.com/channels/alishanmao, www.metacafe.com/redcat racing and www.youtube.com/alishanmao. Cheers

  • @27975542797554 This ushually means that the mixture is too ritch, try leaning out the mixture.

  • That was a pretty nice demonstration. Thank you!!

  • Does the power starter take normal batteries or special batteries

  • This may a be a stupid but wh

  • @alishanmaoI I watched all your videos and there great. Nice going.

    oh and can u make a video about setting the engine in the right idle. When i take the igniter out, The engine stops running. How can i fix this?

    P.S, I got a SHOCKWAVE nitro buggy too :P Awesome buggy

  • @productionvideos27 Prime it a couple of turns only. As soon as you see the fuel flowing through the fuel lines and you don't see any bubbles, you should be good. A roto starter takes the headache of the pull start away. It is MUCH easier to flood the engine with the pull start.

  • @flyboyjuelz As long as you have fuel and a glow plug ignitor, you should be good. The starter kit comes with the fuel bottle, tools, and the glow plug ignitor. It comes in handy.

  • @SuperAlexisbest Your throttle is far too open. Remove the intake and look inside the carb. It should be 1-2mm open MAX. Anything more than 2MM will send your car flying as soon as you start it up.

  • Do these kits only come with the dogbone or does it depend on the brand? I just ordered a kit but its a hex drive kit not a dog bone. I have a Backdraft SH .21

  • I've got a 1/8 HSP Tornado and I'm wondering what power starter I should get. Nice vid :) helpful on previous cars.

  • Thanks mate. I got my electric strt today and removed it myself!!!

  • thank you

    this will save me alot of time pulling thank god

  • your throttle trim is too high on controler possibly or the the throttle on the car is too high

  • i like your video but i have to disagree with either taking engine out or taking suspension out.... i did without so....

    all you need is a slim neck screw driver and a flashlight to see what you are doing...

  • ali does the power starter work on a volcano s30

  • ,y car goes by itself do u no the problem

  • Do you need the starter kit to start the engine?

  • hey ali, for this setup how would you prime the motor without flooding it? it looks like that motor overturns very quickly and might flood the engine if you prime it?

  • i got one and how long are u suposed to charge it for

  • Looks like a machine gun off of halo.

  • i have the same car all i have is problem after problem

  • can this be put on any buggy because i have a thunder tiger eb4 s2 pro and i want to put one on thanks.

  • can it fit a nb16 nitro buggy
