RC Nitro Car Pull Starter R020 Recoil Start Accessory for 1/10 Vertex VX .16 .18 .21 CXP SH .18 .21 RC Nitro Engine

I am coming back to a old hobby...tuning and relearning has put a good test to prove how great this product IS!

I should have listened and just bought the $25 original HPI part. The pull start lasted about 20 short pulls before snapping like in the other reviews. I had purchased a 125ft roll of micro cord to inevitably replace the cord. After replacement, the new cord is already chafing and fraying against something inside the pull start housing after a few test pulls. Complete crap.The thing is, the cord is fraying at the exact same spot as the previous one. That's how I came to the conclusion it's not a weak cord, it's the pull start housing that is a really really poor design. Spend the money on a original part if you can, eBay is a great source for parts or Amain.I looked closely at the pull start housing and couldn't find any sharp places the cord can rub against. The only thing the cord touches in the housing is the brass guide that is SUPPOSED to prevent fraying. Next time the cord snaps I'll try and flip it inside out as it has more of a smoother opening. I'll update if it works but for now this junk stays at 1-star.Pros:- It's fits a HPI Nitro Star S-25 engineCons'- It couldn't even start the engine without snapping, and the engine is over 20 yrs old.

Perfect fit for a Traxxas Rustler 2wd

Item broke after 10 pulls. Disappointed with the quality and waste of money!!

Works good. Has 4 screw holes and my old one only had 3, but fit fine

It’s good after few pulls it finally snapped.

fit pretty good on a hpi savage 3.5

It works like it should and it fit

100% what i needed ,worked perfectly and good quality 👍

I bought 3 of these at one shot for my three cars. One seemed to be better quality then the other two. The two of less quality broke within 6 pulls the third one took about 10 pulls then snapped bought roto starts for all three i wish pull starts came in better quality but it seems they simply do not. Worst part was i had the glow plug turned out for less compression and they all still broke with a tiny 6 inch pull didnt even go half way with the amount i could of pulled.

No good

I pulled on it a couple of times and the string broke

cheap!!! don't bother buying these. I suggest finding part for a kyosho/hpi equivalent engine size/pullstarter. broke right away, didnt even get the vehicle started.
