ACME Racings New 1/8 Scale Electric Prototype Buggy

[thercmasta]

Hey alishanmao I've got that acme werewolf pro but the steering does not work - I have tested the steering servo and it works fine but when it is connected to the wheels it does not steer left or right when I turn the steering on the remote control. Please help - all help is appreciated a lot - thanks again - from " thercmasta "

[PARlatoyaPAR]

does it have spur gear diff, or slipper clutch

This buggy was the biggest pile of crap i ever bought and went a best of 32mph out of the box and broke two sets of front ring and pinions on only 11 volts. After i figured out why the pinions where breaking all the time I swaped out the ESC to a Mamba,put foam tires on and other modifications with 21 volts the Gps data logger confirms consistent 80-82 mph runs and it stays togather.These buggys need work but run fantastic if you correct the issues.

[ballhawk210]

[piccalocb]

Love your videos....I'm debating weather to get this, (Werewolf) or the Backdraft 8E. What would you recommend in terms of Durability, Performance, and Bang for your buck?? Thanks

[alishanmao]

@piccalocb I'd go for Backdraft 8E. NO ACME please

[keeton520]

@alishanmao why no acme every vid ive ben watching you say no acme after words?

[danspratt2]

hey ali, ive got this car now, but i have no idea how to program the esc? is it possible to do so? the brakes are far too brutal!

[alishanmao]

@danspratt2 you will need an ESC programming card

[danspratt2]

@alishanmao i cant seem to find one for sale anywhere :S

[dhudson369]

@alishanmao hi i got this car it is the werewolf yes? it does have a programming card in it and has 8 settings for the power default is set a 5 but i want to put it up to 8 how it says in the manual push button and watch leds etc etc you can change them theres settings for power brakes and more and i just cant find a button and how the hell do you do it im stuck need help

[Monkeyscoot1]

hey what type of battery were you using in this video? and can i use two 11.1v lipos in it?

[alishanmao]

@Monkeyscoot1 yup we were using twin 11.1v :)D

[imy2k07]

@alishanmao salaam bro how did it run with 22.2v the esc must have got hot like u ;)

thanks bro

[paultje162]

is the esc made for 4s lipo? some people say that it is made for it. becuase the nanda BD8E also runs 4s lipo with the same look-like ESC and Motor.

[alishanmao]

@paultje162 this ESC took 6S Lipo as well ;)

[WarhawkLegend69]

did they ever make the car ifff so what is the nam THANKS ALI

[alishanmao]

@WarhawkLegend69 its now called

Werewolf and its on sale already

[thomas7957]

Ok thankyou.

[thomas7957]

Hi, does it really reach 80 km/h?

[alishanmao]

yes it can

[alishanmao]

@thomas7957 with two 11.1v lipoly batteries

yes it can but ESC fries quick lol

[x1petro1x]

the battery that came with my acme werewolf is a 11.1v lipoly

[x1petro1x]

thankyou but how do i check if my ESC can support two batteries, i have the acme firewolf

[alishanmao]

well if the esc is 80A it can support two 7.4v Lipoly

[x1petro1x]

hi, i really enjoy watching you videos and after seeing this one i decided to buy the acme werewolf (not pro version). its really good and therfore thankyou for helping me to find it through your video although i would like to ask you 2 questions firstly can i buy upgradable parts, if so where secondly you said that the car could be made faster with 2 lipos, if i bought a second lipo battery how would i connect it to run the car faster? many thanks

[alishanmao]

For upgrades I am not sure. for two batteries you need to see if ESC can support two Lipoly batteries. you can make a cable easily to connect two lipoly to one ESC but again make sure ESC can take it

[x1petro1x]

love ur vidio ur grates

[CrazyRCstuff]

ok thanks. i wanted to know that becouse my father bought one on internet yesterday

[CrazyRCstuff]

hi! very nice vid but i have a question

on 1:38 if the car hits the ramp the nose goes up and then it goes down

why?

[alishanmao]

its because we can control the car in the air. In the air, give throttle to get nose up, give brake to get nose down, so this way you balance the car and get it a good landing.

[jthornley12]

Who is the dealer in UK for Acme? If its nitrotek, do you know if they are getting the latest 1/8 Nitro's in mate? :)

[alishanmao]

yes right and yes they are getting new 1/8 soon including this one and remote start one.

[jthornley12]

Excellent, Im sure i will buy remote starter one :D

[sickofsin]

[alishanmao]

a different one

[jthornley12]

That thing moves!

[alishanmao]

yup, and its heavy

[bobdude2360]

Thanks for the heads up Ali. Man I bet on 6s and with the right gearing that thing can be a blast maybe be able to get 65 plus. Well peace mate.

[alishanmao]

well said

[bobdude2360]

Hey Ali that thing is sweet and man is it ever fast. Just wondering what motor and battery setup are you running. Also do you know what the name is going to be and when it will be for sale. I might consider getting one. I have been looking at 1/8 scale EP buggies for awhile and just have not made my choice yet but these one could be it. Well take it easy mate.

[alishanmao]

No info on esc motor yet, as its still in testing phase. just that its running on single Lipo 11.1v and can run on double lipos 11.1v. also there is an option that buggy carries 2 lipos, but user can connect one at a time. saves time for taking one out and put a charged one in. just take the connector out from one and connect to other. or connect to both.

[RcUniverseGuy]

looks pretty good how does this one compare to redcats new buggy?

[alishanmao]

We at RedCat still have something better in our bag of tricks :D
