FS - Acme Condor Nitro Buggy (Now With Transmitter/Receiver!)

Recommended Posts

For sale is an Acme Condor that I have recently repaired and restored.

Engine wouldn't run, so was taken apart and cleaned thoroughly. Now starts and runs without a problem, but due to age, still takes a few pulls to get running. Also definitely needs some tuning on the HSN at least. I'm not a nitro expert, but was able to tune it enough to get it running and gunning.

Installed new FTX Force pull-start and HPI B6 glow plug. New original wheels, exhaust, manifold and shocks also installed. Original Acme servos replaced with some pare HPI servos taken from my HPI Bullet 3.0. The steering servo could do with being replaced with something stronger, as it seems to have difficulty centring after steering.

Entire buggy was taken apart and cleaned. Chassis was sanded, smoothed and buffed to make it look... well, presentable. Fuel tank was cleaned inside and out, as was the carb. The new air filter was cut from a sponge.

Shell is an HSP nitro buggy shell. It was too short for the chassis though, so I improvised and made a bracket from styrene plastic to connect the shell to the chassis. Not the best, but it works well.

The Condor DOES now include a transmitter and receiver, the Maverick MTX-242, a cheap but actually decent transmitter, and also includes an Enrich 1600mAh 6v battery pack.

Asking £150, with postage at £12 via DPD Next Day and will be fully tracked. UK only. Can arrange collection instead, but shipping is an easier option for me.

Someone please buy it so I don't have to go through eBay.. also, this thing has been a nightmare... would love to see the back of it!!

Bump!

Also update: The Condor now includes a Maverick MTX-242 transmitter and Maverick receiver, so it's almost RTR... almost.
