Acme Racing Condor Build Your Own Nitro RC Buggy

Complete Self-Build Nitro Kit

The Acme Racing Condor Build Your Own Nitro RC Buggy is designed for users who want more than just an RTR model. This comprehensive kit offers the satisfaction of assembling a fully functional nitro-powered RC buggy from the ground up, transforming hundreds of parts into a high-performance 1:10 scale vehicle. With 14 staged component bags, oils, grease, tools, and every part required for construction, this all-inclusive kit provides exceptional value and avoids the need or additional purchases during the build process.

Building this kit offers an immersive introduction to the mechanics of model engineering, internal combustion systems, and drivetrain operation. From assembling the differentials to aligning suspension geometry, each stage teaches practical, hands-on skills applicable to real mechanical systems

Educational Design and Professional-Grade Manual

This kit is widely used in schools as an engaging teaching tool due to its logical structure and high educational value. Unlike many kits that include only a basic chassis and a small pamphlet, the Condor features a full, UK-written manual designed to eliminate translation issues and enhance user experience.

• Each build stage is represented with clear CAD 3D diagrams.
• Every component is individually labelled.
• Parts are bagged by stage, preventing confusion and reducing assembly time.
• Instructions are laid out to guide the builder from basic subassemblies to final installation with complete clarity.

This approach is ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists, ensuring a frustration-free construction process and a thorough understanding of how nitro RC vehicles function.

Strong, Capable, and Fully Upgradeable Off-Road Buggy

Once assembled, the Condor transforms into a robust off-road buggy engineered for durability and performance. Its 4WD shaft-driven drivetrain delivers stable power distribution, while the alloy chassis provides structural rigidity to withstand off-road use. The oil-filled shocks help absorb rough terrain, and the front and rear bevel differentials ensure effective traction and tight cornering behaviour.

The Condor is equipped with an SH .18 nitro engine, capable of accelerating the model over 40mph. Known for reliability and smooth power delivery, this engine is ideal for both learning and advanced tuning. The buggy is also upgrade-ready, supporting optional hop-up components including two-speed gearboxes, improved suspension parts, and performance-enhancing drivetrain elements.

Everything Included for a Full Build Experience

The kit includes every component required to complete the model, making it one of the most complete self-assembly RC packages available.

Included items:

• SH .18 pull-start nitro engine.
• 2.4GHz wheel-type radio equipment.
• Tools (screwdrivers, hex keys, spanners).
• Grease, oil, and miscellaneous fluids.
• Pre-painted body shell ready for trimming and mounting.
• Complete hardware sets for driveline, chassis, and suspension.
• All plastics, metals, bearings, gears, and fixtures required for the full build.

Construction typically takes 8-12 hours, depending on experience. Builders 14+ will find the process engaging, educational, and highly rewarding.
