How Do You Start a Nitro Rc Car Without the Pull Start?

Nitro RC cars are one of the most popular types of remote control vehicles today. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran RC car enthusiast, starting a nitro car is an exciting and rewarding experience. But if your nitro car doesn’t have a pull start, how do you get it going?

The good news is that there are several ways to start a nitro RC car without the pull start. One option is to use a starter box.

Starter boxes are battery powered devices that provide the power needed to get your nitro car up and running. All you have to do is connect the starter box to your nitro engine using the starter shaft, then press the button on the starter box to get your engine running.

Another option is to build your own glow plug igniter. This device uses two AA batteries to provide enough power to get your engine going.

All you need is an old glow plug, two AA batteries, some wire, and a few other components that can be found at any hobby store. Once everything is assembled and connected correctly, simply touch the wires together for a few seconds and then release them for your engine to start running.

You can also use an electric drill as an alternative way to start your nitro RC car without a pull start. All you have to do is attach the drill bit directly onto the flywheel of your nitro engine and turn it on in order for it to get going. This method may not be as reliable as using a starter box or building an igniter but it can be used in emergency situations when all else fails.

Conclusion:

Starting a nitro RC car without the pull start may seem like an impossible task but with these three methods – using a starter box, building an igniter or using an electric drill – it can be done easily and reliably. With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to enjoy more time behind the wheel of your favorite RC vehicle!
