Hi, The pull start on my Savage has broken and I can't find a replacement anywhere. Part no. 15226. 11mm hex. I can only find ones with a larger hex. I'm in the U.K. Anyone know where I can find one or have an alternative solution? Thanks.
 
Give this ago much cheaper to buy from uk ebay seller, has YouTube channel with walk through!
RC Nitro One Way replacement bearing Insert for Pull start / Roto - all makes
 
Thanks. Is there really no UK stock? What do people do? Is it possible to get a starting shaft that fits with a larger hex, as it seems easy enough to get a pull start with a 12/14mm hex?
 
Maybe a Hyper starter shaft has a 12mm hex, don't know.

Just checked and the Hyper shaft hex is 10mm, so you will need to source a suitable pull start, message the person in the thread above.

Basically HPI arent in a position to support every model they ever made.

Try searching as the k4.6/5.9 and Axial engines shared parts. They also be available under a different name, maybe Force 28.

Either that or what I did as I couldn’t find one at the time was to get a normal pull start and pack round the hex with some thin plastic (not ideal but works) as the k series engine pull starts are quite a bit more money

i having same issue, how did u resolve issue..
 
If you get hold of a starter shaft from something like a Dynamite Mach .26/.28 p/n DYN6063 then you can use standard 12mm Roto/Pull starts. Quite a few other brands of engine use the same shaft. It is a direct replacement for the shafts in the old K-series and Arial engines. Just pull the old 11mm shaft out and slide the 12mm in.

The K series engines use an 11mm hex starter shaft and trying to find a pull start or roto start to fit these mills is now on impossible. I have 6 of these K mills and have found that the starter shaft from an SH.2.8 or Dynamite .26/.28 can be used as a replacement. These shafts are 12mm and not 11mm so will allow you to use any 12mm pull/roto start.
I was buying them from RC Scrapyard but didn't know what engine they came from, so I asked the question and Jam1 came up with the answer. Have now found that Wheelspin Models stock them.
