RE: damn hpi nitro star pullstart!!...
kool well im in fresno cali myself(visalia actually) , i guess im gonna try looken for that pullstartet today.. i tried yesterday but asken people for a pullstart plate similar to the hpi .12 -.15 has gotten me nothen so far.. everybody says nope...is there a specific backplate for the CEN model i should be looken for?.... i might have to take my engine around to these places and have them look for one.. when i ask on the phone i usually get a quick WE DONT HAVE IT.. darn.. between 15 dollars for the oneway bearing,another 15 for the pullstart that i just broke, 20 for another one locally(if im lucky to find one)25 for some more fuel 15 for new batteries for my radio.. and about 16 for a new body....i may as well buy a new truck.............

RE: electric start backplate
well i could always just use mydewall 18volt drill with a bit on the end if my dremmel doesnt work, but how cool would it be if my dremmel works, that thing will get to spend even more time with me

RE: cooling head
kool, though usually the best way 4 me to get stripped hex screws out is to use a slightly larger star shaped bit with an extension and use a hammer to tap it in and make a extremely tight fit, then us a wrench at the top of the extension and slowly twist it out, it works all the time but eventually the tip may break off inside the screw if you try it too many times with the same bit. thats how i do it, i dont know.[sm=72_72.gif]

RE: any help?
thats how i broke the flywheel i was using a vice grip to hold the flywheel while i spun the nut, i guess it may come off easier if i put the whole engine in a vise or back on the frame, cuz its way to hard to get that nut off with the engine off of car

RE: Buy from anywhere but Tower Hobbies
i ordered my header from tower and a glow plug igniter and it took about 2 days to get a confirmation email saying they got the order, then another 3 till i got an email saying it was shipped, then about 9 business days to receive it(no tracking number at all). the prices are good but when you add shipping and the hassle of waiting soo long it is not worth it at all. i like ebay and smaller companies because they tend to ship items out asap, i think its crap someone will take your order then wait sometimes 5 days just to ship it.(though they tell you that they have up to 14 business days to ship it out)i got burned once from amazon like that.never again
