In a drill-start bind!

[Harold Bascom]

After a shoulder injury became aggravated by pulling on a starter cord, I had no other alternative but to switch to drill-start systems. Problem is, it seems like I have to buy a new drill start system every few months because they just wear out and the drill would simply spin without turning the engine over.

Is there any way past this? Are there any drill start brands that isn't made of soft aluminum that grinds down quickly?

The last one I bought (in picture) is a product with the words, 'Top Speed RC World.'

in a word nope?......
killer rc one may b a bit better quality ?

I just bought and installed the Killer RC one. Haven't tried it yet though. Sadly I broke the TR pull start I had on the OBR.

Yup bought the spring to rebuild it and watched the Fast Eddie vid on how to rebuild it and I can't get it to return like it did when it was new . It's a nice looking piece of junk.

And actually it really pisses me off that the spring didn't last more than 6 start ups.

Why don't you just swap an electric start in it? I think FID makes one. Cant be that bad of a set up.

More weight, more batteries, more stuff to break, If you don't care than go have a ball lol.

I know that. And I'm not a fan either. but if the drill start keeps breaking move on to the next product. It cant be any worse.

I agree . The TR was a expensive lesson to learn. Think this setup will work fine.
