Starter box blues          OFNA Nitro Talk Back Forum Forum Index -> Hyper ST Truggy View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message Elvis Joined: 26 Mar 2009 Posts: 16 Location: Columbus Indiana Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2009 6:20 am    Post subject: Starter box blues I recently decided to use a starter box for my hyper ST after getting blisters and finally breaking my pullstarts. I bought the ofna model #10250 starter box. I am having a difficult time getting it to turn over my Picco.28 and my Macstar.28 . I have aligned it with the flywheel and even used a dremel to open the chassis up a bit. Should I be using a different flywheel than the stock one or am I missing something here . Thank you.

Did you take all the pull start items off and put on a backplate?

No backplate just the old pullstart housing. Thank you for the assistance.

Your batteries might not have a full charge. I use 2 3300 packs. You might need to heat up your motor with a heat gun. I dont think thats so much the issue but it could be. The box should still be able to turn the motor over a couple of times before getting stuck at TDC(top dead center). If it doesnt even turn it over. Then check your batteries. Also check the box. Make sure something isnt over tightened. I dont think still having the pull start items on there is causing a issue. But that is something you should look into removing if your going to use a start box to fire up the truck.

My starter box chassis locaters were off just a tiny bit and it was binding everything up. Adjusted it and now it starts perfect. Thank you all for your assistance.
