DreXeL Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Doesn't look like a HPI to me, looks like it's an Acme or HSP. Still, if it's a runner you can't go wrong for 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baja-5B-Uk Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm still not 100% sure on the make as it has Hpi on the pull start ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm still not 100% sure on the make as it has Hpi on the pull start ? That's already been answered, it's an Acme Conquistador, it's just had a HPI pullstart fitted at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baja-5B-Uk Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Can the acme conquistador be started by a starter box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan13 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Dont drive these acme cars, i made a mistake thinking i could bash these...trust me you cant! Diffs are a huge problem, the material is just too soft and shreds over the course of about an hour of running. They're not too bad on tarmac with slicks due to less friction and load for the diffs to handle. Anyways, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baja-5B-Uk Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm not to bothered how good it is as I have a Hpi baja 5b ss and you can't be that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramdonice Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 it's cheap it works and it don't matter if it breaks which is what i wanted so the other half and daughter can have ago without braking the ones i like:) as i got 2 vintage cars well one and one in the post.

camstreet Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) ^ what he said my first car was HSP, and nitro at that so I got this baby up and running using spares from that and I have my SCRT10 (albeit broken) but this was just something cheap that I will just thrash anywhere since Edited September 2, 2012 by camstreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevek32 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 any nitro is better then no nitro tbh, my 1st was a carson spectre 2 speed gears that never really worked and bits were breaking everyday but it taught me how to take them apart and put them back after i fixed them, think it cost me about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
