[josh68motos]

hey ali great video's always watch them.

just wondering if  'go 20 engines' are good types of nitro engines.

[TopGearFan8]

im gettin the kit version of this in november i already built the acme cyclone and its a cracker.great vid Ali

[divinesalvia]

excuse me a what???a pro buggy..no no no

[conradogt3]

@divinesalvia yes it is

[mxfreedom155]

Good videos i am thinking about getting a cheap rc nitro because i dont want to spend much money..should i get the condor pro .18 engine for 140 or should i just get a cheap exceed .16 engine for 120 bucks? (would the extra 20 dollars be worth it cause i really dont want to spend that much) please get back to me...Thanks

[alishanmao]

@mxfreedom155 i do not know bout condor pro 18 engine but seems ACME uses Team infinity 18 engines and they are the worst I have ever used. go for SH 18 engine or OS

[austinkx09]

@alishanmao is that the only wrong with acme? the engines?

[wusalol]

@mxfreedom155 try to get a hpi they good and if you want a cheap so get hsp example backwash i will recommend hpi firestorm or bullet and hsp tornado

[forthepeeps345]

maybe sombody came help with mine.. i start it up. then i give it some gas but it doesnt move. the drive shaft and clucht is working fine. i even tightened the rods that spin the wheels but it still doenst move.. any clues anyone

[alishanmao]

@forthepeeps345 thats very acme. Best thing is, trash it and get a good brand. to help you out, I can't say anything till i see a video

[shadowfax123456]

hey i dont understand whats so bad about this car

[alishanmao]

@shadowfax123456 its just that ACME has this such a bad reputation that I now even fear to recommend one to people

[hikinguphigh]

@shadowfax123456 there aint nothing wrong with em bud my mates have top of the range kyosho buggys 500 quid plus and my condor pro is the only one that still runs as sweet as it did the day i got it

[MrTimf4003]

1:10 hahahahahahaha

[ThaMaikel13]

I JUST LOL'd

Fucking noob buggies. Worst made ever.

[alishanmao]

@ThaMaikel13 I totally Agree.

[Rudi14]

@ThaMaikel13 Agreed, had tons of trouble with mine, almost pushed me away from r/c altogether, but now im back and enjoying the hobby with my new truck.

[tomBeth090909]

hey i am thinkin about getting the build it yourself version of the condor because i wanted a challange and some fun out of it after do you think i am makin right choice by getting it ??

write back please tom :):)

[alishanmao]

@tomBeth090909 Many who bought this buggy always complained about it and had tons of troubles. I would recommend that you reconsider.

[yubi250]

@tomBeth090909 I am 14 and i got the kit version it is quite fun to build, challenge and works like treat .

i know this to late but i am just say

you can reply if you like to :]

[paultje162]

HAHA YOUR SNEEZE HAHAHAHAAAA

[andriukaz24]

hallo mate...thing is i've got SELF builed condor buggy...builed it so far and when i turend the reiciver on the one of the batterys side just burend....i've checked that vires in order two times before and two times after it hapend.....so what i think it was,bad battery holder...what do you you think?

[alishanmao]

@andriukaz24 yup bad battery holder or some where wires are crossed.

[lostheo]

do you prefer this buggy or the Redcat shockwave or tornado?

[alishanmao]

@lostheo I prefer Tornado S30

[Kbunt89]

keep up the great work ..

[mAtThR3w]

is .18 lower then .15 or higher?

[jthornley12]

Its a bigger engine

[paintbrawl]

burned up the spur gear just replaced it back in buisness

[ManiacXxX95]

i am starting nitro rc, is this a good nitro car to for a beginner, or should i get something else, i am going to be driving it off road a lot, what should i get , please help

[alishanmao]

Get something else. GO for a nitro or electric brushless truck

[paintbrawl]

i got it !!!!!!!!!!!! its sweet!!!

[paintbrawl]

well i just ordered this one and a starter set and fuel it was only 177.00 for all so if it breaks i guess ill have to change parts wish me luck getting into this hobby thanks

[paintbrawl]

you said this one over heats....... is there any way to reduce that im about to order one and i want to be sure im getting a good thing im not rich and why not suggest to acme to put copper heat sinks on the motor cuz i use copper on my prossesor in my computer copper displaces heat better than aluminum i love all of your vids been watching them all trying to decide what to get

[jthornley12]

Ali where the battery holder plugs in, could I just simply plug a hump pack in? :)

[alishanmao]

yup you can

[gptaggart]

Hi Ali, is it good for lots of smoke and fuel to come out of the exhaust?

[alishanmao]

that shows you are running too rich. lean it out a bit

[12345jamielee]

what do i do then when i get it

how do i break the engine in?

[alishanmao]

watch the vid and follow the procedure

[12345jamielee]

im getting 1 of thease for xmas

how fast can they go wen u first get them?

and will it be right if i coppied you setting them up? wb asap

[alishanmao]

you can't copy my settings, you have to find your own settings

[12345jamielee]

if i order before 22 december will it be back before christmas im from wales uk

[RomeoGoesRetro]

What was your final verdict on this buggy? Your video implies you like the buggy but in comments (on other vids) you say stay away from acme 1/10 buggies and go for the 1/8 instead?.......

[alishanmao]

To be honest I had no problems with buggy, but engine was trouble. always got over heated and many others had lots of engine trouble only. Buggy itself is a good buggy. Now ACME is going to release it with SH engine and maybe with remote start soon, then it will be one best buggy

[jollypop2008]

STOP SAYING SWEET

[puggster]

wow nice buggy

i like the shell design that you dont have to pull it off every time you need to refuel or start er up, that was the most annoying thing with nitro cars and buggys was the fact of pulling off those little pins and loosing them at the track lol

very neat design indeed, i like it!

and 2 gears or more i hear when running? is it a 2 speed gearbox?

anyhoos very nice dude

seems a solid and good designed little buggy there :D

[alishanmao]

Yup its a 2 speed gear box

[russkinruss]

Bless you!

[SuperMastermixer]

iam looking for a petrol powered rc cars but the condor is a cheap one i want to buy it but are they hard to control

[alishanmao]

Go for Gasoline. Check redcat racing site redcatracing(.)com and look for 1/5 scale

[SuperMastermixer]

ok incase do you know where you can buy any electronic rc cars which go really fast

[alishanmao]

RedCatRacing com

[kami009]

Hey Ali I just bought this Condor Pro From RCTOYHOUSE.. I have troubles starting it.. the fuel is not pumping to the engine even when i hold the exhaust tip and crank it.. do you know whats wrong ?

[alishanmao]

Take the pipe connected to exhaust out and blow in it. see if it flows. Check if the HSN (High Speed Needle) is not fully closed. Also take air filter off and see inside that carb should have 1mm opening gap. if its closed fuel won't flow in.

[06sk8nsurf]

is the one that come black with flames the same?

also

what else do you need to buy once you bought the kit?

Does it include the reciever and evrything?

[06sk8nsurf]

i'm talking about the self build one

???

[jthornley12]

Yes it is its just that you have to build it yourself, and if you were going to buy it from nitrotek, then it is not the pro version, it comes without 2 speed gear box, and upgraded shocks

[jthornley12]

once you have it you need a glow plug ignitor, batteries (normally 12AA) and yes it does come with reciever & transmitter :) oh and of course fuel

[jthornley12]

Yeh it is a good buggy had for about year now not one engine problem just the usual like pull start and servos etc hehehe

[jthornley12]

Hi ali, what engine could I put in my Condor pro to upgrade??

[alishanmao]

SH 18 :D

[jthornley12]

would it fit?

[lostheo]

you should use the hsp backwash pro

it costs abit less than the condor pro se has the same engine and more upragrades with it.

im not sure about which one to buy so perhaps you could do a test with both of them?

[jthornley12]

I have both, and the backwash is a bit faster, but they are both good cars

[lostheo]

thanks

its hard to choose because they are verry similar. :)

[Prawnstar2k8]

Hi ali my condors pull start is hard to pull Please reply thanks :)

[alishanmao]

make sure engine is not flooded. new engine do have hard to pull pull starts.

[baja5b889]

het a spektrum thir more useful

[alex5678a]

Anybody know how to fix acme condor engine ?

[alishanmao]

email me with problem details at alishanmao@gmail com

[dog937]

has u condor broke yet and does it start ok

[alishanmao]

Well I already did the videos on Condor. They are all up. Check them out. this is an awesome buggy

[dog937]

what is best to get condor pro 115 pound wid vat or nb 16t buggy for 89 pound with vat

[alishanmao]

its all your choice mate. as far as they both are ACME, I don't think it will make much difference when it comes to engine.

[dog937]

do police bother u in u.k

[alishanmao]

I don't think so, just play safe n don't annoy neighbors heheh

[dog937]

how fast do they go

[alishanmao]

RC cars can go frokm 30MPH to 65MPH depending on what car you have

[dog937]

alish where can u use these if u use them on the street do u police take them of u

[alishanmao]

No mate. Police won't bother u. But make sure your neighbors don't mind the engine noise. cuz then you can be in trouble ;D

[dog937]

what about a nb 16 nitro buggy only 89 pound with vat are they a good buggy

[alishanmao]

A buggy with 16 engine is also good. easier to tune n run :) not too much torque though but can catch up good speeds. Try RedCat Racing Shockwave or Tornado BB

[dog937]

alish do u recon they are ok for money and how many pull for it to start also are they a bugger to strat thanks :d

[alishanmao]

Well frank advice mate. This buggy itself is awesome, very good quality but at the moment the Team Infinity engine on this one is giving many problems for starting n tuning. With my negotiations, now ACME is considering getting SH engines or different engines. after they release new models with different engines, you can go for it. For now. you can always go for other brands or RedCats

[AlexFaulkner2294]

i have one of these and the engine never gives me any problems. what problems have you been getting?

[alishanmao]

never had any problems :)

[dog937]

but they cant post to uk i want the blue shockwave

[alishanmao]

connect me at alishanmao@gmail come and I can give you a person's address who can ship to UK :)

[dog937]

i might buy 1 do they start good from cold and are they hard to start when u breacking it in

[alishanmao]

I'd suggest waiting a bit as the newer versions of these buggies will have better engines. at the moment some people are having troubles with these team infinity engines. In the mean time you can consider buying RedCat Vehicles. They have a good 1/10 scale shockwave n specially the 1/8 scale are awesome.

[5PANDAMAN5]

this car is mad broooooooooooo

[alishanmao]

it sure is a good buggy :D

[15Nitro15]

were did you get that kit and how much was it

[alishanmao]

Well ACME Racing sent it to me to test whether all those complaints bout engine and buggies being POS was right or not. Tell you what, after I tested this buggy for 5 days, I found all those guys calling this piece of crap are wrong and infact they have no experience in running RC cars. they even have troubles with branded buggies lol. This is one sweet buggy n very durable too

[AlexFaulkner2294]

yea i have heard alot of rumors that these are crap and i from what youve done with it and my experience with it, i think is a very good buggy for its price.

[alishanmao]

I never had any trouble with it. I have no idea why people keep on complaining. I know this other guy, he has 3 of these and never had troubles.

[15Nitro15]

were did you get that kit

[alishanmao]

from ACME

[15Nitro15]

is this car good for starters

[alishanmao]

Definitely Yes :D plus depending on your pocket if you like I can introduce more.

[jthornley12]

i love the sound of that one when it changes gear ;)

[alishanmao]

that is sweet shifting :D

[mxf7010g8k]

ALI!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a review for the Vortex EPX PRO from redcat. lol. GET ON IT. hehe

[alishanmao]

Aye, I will talk to boss :D

[evilpig26]

Me again, ive bought the kit version of the buggy, thanks again man!!!=)

[alishanmao]

Always welcome mate :) any questions later let me know

[TheTTeddy]

This made me get the condor and i was not disappointed, its a great buggy! thanks for your fantastic vidoes.

[alishanmao]

Welcome my man. Post some videos of that soon ok ;)

[evilpig26]

Hi, would you recomend this buggy? =)

[alishanmao]

Highly Recommended my man

[1999151]

[alishanmao]

Nops, this is ACME. you can buy it off hobby-estore com. Cheers

[nitroblade14]

why get a buggy they can race well but cant bash with them as well as a truggy, monster truck, or a stadium truck and are not as customizable. i have a stadium truck and they can race, bash, and anything else with it.

[alishanmao]

Well mate. I work for RedCat Racing n Hobby-Estore. I don't buy them. My Job is to test them develop them, QC them, Market them and put tutorials for them :D

[blacklockg]

hi alishanmao ,i have this buggy ,the other day i pulled the starter with glow plug in and hydro locked the piston so i free'd it up but whilst taking the engine apart to fix i took the clutch apart ,now i cant get the 2 clutch springs to keep the clutch from staying open when i start it,

any help thanks.

[alishanmao]

Hey there. At the moment I am running totally packed. Plus I have returned the ACME Condor pro buggy back for some additional improvements that I suggested. However if you can send me pics of your clutch system clear pictures, I will help you out. alishanmao@gmail com is my address

[AhsanRc]

[AlexFaulkner2294]

[guitarboym12]

LOL 1:31-1:35

'ooo boy, this is one sweet looking buggy'.

lol have you ever considered an atomic warhead by HSP?

they're just like this condor pro buggy, but with a vertex 18 engine.

i think they look a bit sweeter though, oo boy:). although this engine is probably better quality.

[alishanmao]

I have ran HSP warhead. I feel ACME Engine team Infinity runs much better. n sweet :D

[AhsanRc]

Im geting this buggy. do the tyres wear out wen u drive it on the road

[alishanmao]

depends how you drive. I have played with it 4 to 5 tanks on road, nothing happened to tires yet.

[1999151]

how much did you pay for it

[alishanmao]

I'll confirm the prices for u later or check at hobby-estore com for prices on this buggy

[theqman13]

the other dude said that it was 5 easy payments of 160 somethin dollars (he said it as a joke). I thought u agreed with him

[alishanmao]

goto hobby-estore com and go to nitro 1/10 scale page. you can find the prices there my man. Rest don't listen to jokes heheh

[theqman13]

Ur in china right?

[alishanmao]

yup in China

[1999151]

[alishanmao]

yup, loved the color scheme too

[theqman13]

is it expensive?

[mxf7010g8k]

5 easy payments of 105.99

[theqman13]

yea right.

[alishanmao]

Don't think so. It's a real good bargain in this price range

[guitarboym12]

LMAO LOL! 1:10

[alishanmao]

Yup, the damn allergy.

[guitarboym12]

sorry, it just sounds so funny.

your lucky to get that :O:), id love one :)

[alishanmao]

well I am working for ACME too, so no worries.

[spellboy103]

wen r u gunna strat with traxxas and savage?

[nikojak09]

i got an acme conqustidor brand new of the nitriotech website and it stripped the spur gear the first time i started it. every thing on the car was not wright the engine wouldent even idel it just took off on full throttel when i started it for the first time and i had only just got it out the box dident mess with any thing great vid 5***

[alishanmao]

I am sure you had a bad experience. First time when I had my first RC car, I broke the front suspension arms on the first run :( But now I know how to handle these things and I can tell you ACME has a real good quality cars n trucks.

[startazz]

Got to say my man when you sneezed it sounded like you said your name (Alishanmao) lol,O J mate,and that paint on the buggy looks sweet,right off to look at the other vids,5*

[alishanmao]

Lol your comment made my day again bro. I haven't forgotten the last one with bum cheeks clenching on heli flight now the other one to keep me laughing. Thanks again bro.

[steeeven1]

[alishanmao]

[steeeven1]

[Trumple]

[alishanmao]
