Acme Tech Condor Pro Special Edition Nitro Radio Controlled Buggy

quick tips: the acme condor pro is a very nice car which has only the HSN (high speed needle) (changes air to fuel ratio) (higher fuel and less air is considered a rich mix whilst more air less fuel is a lean mix, however putting a lean mix can damadge so beware. the rear dogbone can get rubbed down so you need a new one however if you go and buy a metal one then you dont need to so i would go and buy metal ones quickley or you could waste a bit of money buying new ones other than that though there is no problems when you get it out of the box.
