Adding pullstart to HPI 12RS C
I bought a HPI 12RS C (new in box) without looking at the fact that it does not have a pull start. Can I add a pull start to the engine ? I bought it for use in my Nitro-mini

In order to add a pull-start, you would need to buy a pull-start crank, starting axle, backplate, 1 way bearing, and finally the pull starter.
The crankshaft for a non-pull start motor has the crank pin ground flush with the outer edge of the connecting rod. On a pull-start engine, there is a nub on the end for the pull start mechanism to connect to.

Thats probably alot more than what I paid for the engine :lol: . How much could I get for this engine for if I sell it ? Its brand new, in box, never run/installed.

There's a new one for sale on ebay (auction ending in 5 days). You'll know what it's worth on Sunday.
