Can't find the pull start king on ebay 😪 not that I need one yet but my lad came home with a eb4 s3 yesterday he got a pretty good deal 80 quid works well but does have a fuel leak at the top of the tank where the outlet nipple is ..so will have to seal that somehow...brilliant videos on the cars btw

[@crazyeyes744]

I think he has stopped trading on ebay for a while, there was a reason but i cant remember what it was. I think you can still find him on facebook and order direct from him though. If you only paid 80 for a working eb4 S3 then you got a steal!!👍. As for the leak, take the tank off, drain it fully of fuel and with a small lighter get the flame close to the plastic enough to make it soft and re-seal with your fingers, be quick at it and dont heat it too much, just enough that it goes like glue😉

Brilliant I'll try fb as for the fuel tank I used clear aquarium plumbing glue worked a treat and near on invisible 😀 Thanks for the info

I've just been gifted an eb4 MK1 I think, that needs some TLC. Now thanks to your video I know it's going to be a mission for parts ect. I think I'll do a complete rebuild, already I've noticed the E clip on the A arms are missing. Any chance I can pick your brain if I come across any issues. There doesn't seem to be much on these cars well in depth just little run videos. Would doing an electric conversion be a better option? As I'm not really into nitro.

[@crazyeyes744]

Hi yeah i can help you out with any issues you may have. As for convirting to electric, yes you can but i think it will be very expensive to do this so you may aswell just buy a newer ready built brushless buggy. I would personally try to keep it nitro as its an old car and will be worth more if rebuilt to standard spec.

My tt eb4 2s wont go into gear and the front wheels wont spin with back wheels. Any help???

HI I have a EB4 S2 its running the Pro 21R engine. I am looking for a pull start, my one way bearing is 14mm and fits shaft off 8mm most off the pull starts come with 12mm one way bearings to fit 6mm shaft. Also its flywheel is to far away from the chassis for most starter boxes is there a slightly larger diameter flywheel for this?

What colour is your cylinder head heat sink?

@@VaughnRichardson573 Ok. So its the newer of the S2 models, thats a good thing. You can use any 12mm one way bearing that is desinged for use with the copy pull starts for sale on ebay. The cheap pull starts for the Thundertiger EB4-S2 are actually ok, its the cheap bearings that cause an issue so make sure you buy a good one and not a cheap chinese copy. The pull start itself can be anything really as long as its for the pro.21 or pro.28 thundertiger engine.

@@crazyeyes744 thanks nice to know. I have bought two 12 mm bearings with pull start and 1 electric start and they dont fit my shaft the covers cant even be screwed on to the motor they are also to small. The listings say for Thunder tiger Pro 21 and 28 engines but dont fit. So I am very confused.
