is it a good idea to change the pullstart cord... to fishing wire
is it a good idea to change the pull start cord to fishing wire/line because my pull start cord kept breaking !!! or anyone got any good idea of what other type of cords i should use ?

Ditch the pullstart and get a starterbox. All your pullstart headaches will be solved.

A starter box is nice, but not necessary. Do not replace the cord with fishing line. You can go get some string that is simalar and replace it yourself. Go to www.hpiracing.com to the usa site and read their tutorial on pull start assembly. Once you get it fixed, use the pull start correctly. You are pulling the string out too far if you are breaking the string. You should only be pulling the string out 12 inches or so. Just flipping your wrist to pull the string is enough the get the engine started.

i agree with the starter box idea, i also snapped a few cords myself, and it also snapped half way, ended up getting a starter box, and now i love starting the car

What engine do you have? You could go with a rotostart system if they make one for your engine. If you're bashing around a parking lot then its something to consider. I had one on my HPI RS4 18ss and worked great. I would personally go with a starter box but just wanted to throw the rotostart sytem out there as an option.
