Hey guys,

I snapped my pull starter cord today, and when I took it off the motor the coiled up piece of wire sprung out at me.

Is that an easy fix? Or should I not bother and buy a new one?

Are the motor specific? Or are they generic?

Can I just screw a new one on and away I go again?

And, last of the stupid questions, is there any other way of starting my truck without the pull start?

they can be rewound, takes patience lol

they are in fact engine specific

what kind of car/engine is it?

Kyosho Mad Force, I think the engine is a GX-21. It is the stock motor.

I'm going to have a go at putting it back together tomorrow.

If I can't I'll buy a new one!

Thanks mate.

The only problem is that I am in Australia, and it would be quicker to buy one locally I think.

Thanks for your help though.

I don't think the Mad Force is compatible with a starter box FYI it's got a ladder frame chassis
