IrMarky Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hey Guys, When I was new to Nitro about 2 years ago I purchased an Acme Condor PRO (Big mistake I know). I have decided to try and get this thing running as it was only used once about 2 years ago, the engine is out of tune and I cannot seem to find anything that will help me retune this thing, seen some youtube videos but prefer to see a manual of some sort, It's a Team Infinity .18 engine. Please help! also; the wheels keep spinning when lifted of the floor, I though this was a high idle? been trying to adjust the idle screw and lsn for days with no luck.

stretchy_dawg Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 right, the lad next door to me had a similar issue and it turned out to be the clutch, they are terrible (much like the rest of the car) and the clutch springs have the strength of cooked spaghetti so I would advise getting a new clutch or spring, but a good one. we never managed to find any needle settings to tune it either, just came down to trial and error and ended up having to run it what would be considered as very rich for a good engine but as soon as we leaned it out it just died when we tried to give it some welly. hope this helps a tad nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan13 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hello I had a acme condor, it had serious diff issues mainly on the back as more stress. This cannot be sorted, i tried everything including shims and steel gears but the steel gears just ****ed the casing aswell :/ Engine wise i didnt have a problem as im pretty sussed at tuning, however they do run hot! My advise is to run alittle on the rich side so u wont have excellent speed but it will be reliable enough. If ur cafefull with it ie no jumps and stay on tarmac u wont have too much of a problem tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke started pouring out of the engine head.... from the carb possibly? so i removed the glowplug and nothing but smoke.... coming out of the engine.... think its dead now. Back to the Ansmann!

Dan13 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Im sure my posts keep getting deleted lol Anyways my advise is to just stay away from any acme stuff, although the worrior is about the best they do. I had the condor,cyclone and attacker, both were crap long term. :/ If ya need parts im ur man as i still have most of them left lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
