Lrp .32 spec 2

[frddyj]

ike,

try leaning it out

I just installed the lrp 360° back plate. I'm wanting to use the hpi roto start 2 that worked with my .28 My question is now, is the hpi going to turn the right way? From the looks of things the hpi roto start 2 is going to spin the wrong way. I do have a drill but I don't want to lug that big ass thing around. Edit: It seems like the hpi roto start doesn't have enough balls to turn the .32 over. What are my options? I don't really want to buy the lrp one and have the same issues.

I've driven a rig with a popped off ball joint before. Cost me a busted cvd on my aftershock. Twice! Guess I'm a slow learner. lol

Sorry, I don't know. Will it work if you flip the battery contacts? Probably fry the electronics... perhaps you can take it apart and just flip the wires on the motor itself so it runs backwards. Can't imagine that would be too hard unless the roto doesn't come apart. I have one in a drawer that came with my X when I bought it used. I only used it a couple times before ditching the worn out engine and putting in a pullstart LRP.

Loosen the plug to reduce the compression.

 

[francis Labarbara]

Use the drill until it is broken in and then put the pull start back on it.

After messing with it and with the plug out it still wouldn't turn over. Found that the back plate can't be fully tightened down about 1/2 turn loose and she turns over. Now if it would quit raining I can finally get to run it before it gets to cold.

Hi
How r u all.
Anyway running my rig and having fun then suddenly it stops moving engine revs but not going anywhere so i had a closer look and my spur gear is all messed up like half of the teeth have been cut off. Any ideas why? I have replacement spur with 47/49 teeth which one shall i put on please. Can any say why i damaged my spur please.
Thank you

Plastic spurs are known to overheat and cause just this problem.... get a Robinson Racing spur and bell and never look back.....

either your mesh was too tight or too loose

-OR-

the screws that hold your motor-mount came loose which threw off your mesh & or alignment between clutch bell and spur.

are you using Loctite on your engine mount screws?

Yes have used loctite.
I think the meshing was loose. Have sorted it will let you know how it goes.
