## Description

A new pull start utilizes a one-way bearing encased in a large 14mm hex for increased durability.The F3.5 engine will give you eye-opening acceleration and crazy top speeds! The engine is started by a simple pull starter system and the two-needle carburetor allows you to fine-tune the performance for any kind of weather or fuel.One added benefit of the Nitro Star F3.5 is that it's a race-legal .21-Size engine, which means you can drop down to your local track or Club and enter in a race as soon as you open the box! On the inside, The F3.5 has true ABC construction, with a chrome-plated brass Piston and cylinder surrounded by the lightweight aluminum case.

Review: Great except some issues - Great little engine; very powerful and reliable - except some issues. The pull start is rather weak so I installed the drill starter just to be on the safe side. The stock bearings (7x19x6 mm front and 13x24x6 mm rear) are junk. Replace them with good quality SS or ceramic bearings. Also, get a 3 or 4 shoe clutch in order to get the most out of this engine; the stock 2-shoe clutch is a not adequate.
Review: This motor is powerfull - It's a great deal but it runs hot so your gonna need #1 glow plugs to keep the temp down
