Acme Racing Conquistador Special Edition Nitro RC Truck

Top-Spec Special Edition Monster Truck

The Acme Racing Conquistador Special Edition represents the highest-performance variant of the Conquistador platform. By taking the standard model and upgrading it with every major aluminium and reinforced component available, this Special Edition delivers improved strength, smoother suspension response, and enhanced drivetrain durability. These upgrades, if purchased individually, would cost significantly more, making the SE a superior-value premium package for hobbyists seeking the very best in nitro monster truck performance.

Beyond strength and performance, the polished aluminium pipe and blue anodised aluminium components create a visually striking finish, giving the truck a high-end appearance worthy of its enhanced capabilities.

Full Aluminium Upgrade System

This SE model includes a comprehensive suite of aluminium components that replace key structural and suspension parts. These upgrades not only improve mechanical robustness but also increase precision in steering and suspension articulation.

Included aluminium upgrades:

• Upper wishbones.
• Lower wishbones.
• Knuckle arms.
• Servo saver.
• Shock towers.
• Polished aluminium tuned exhaust pipe.

These components provide superior rigidity, reduce wear over time, and improve overall suspension geometry. The adjustable aluminium shocks allow precise tuning of damping rate, angle, and rebound behaviour, enabling the driver to tailor handling to different terrains.

Reinforced Drivetrain and Gear System

To complement the SE's enhanced power and handling, the drivetrain has been strengthened with upgraded gearing components:

• Hardened steel engine clutch gear.
• Hardened POM spur gear.
• Front and rear bevel gear differentials.
• Full 4WD shaft-driven system.

These upgrades drastically reduce the risk of gear stripping and improve power transfer efficiency. The improved durability makes the SE ideal for aggressive off-road use, high-speed driving, and long-term reliability.

High-Performance SH .18 Nitro Engine

The Conquistador Special Edition is powered by a Taiwan-manufactured SH .18 nitro engine, widely recognised for reliability, ease of tuning, and smooth power deliver. SH engines feature a simplified single-needle carburettor, eliminating the complexity of multi-needle tuning while still providing ample torque and top speed for demanding monster truck applications.

The polished aluminium exhaust enhances exhaust flow and adds a small performance increase, while also contributing to the truck's premium appearance

Additional powertrain highlights include:

• A metal disc brake system for strong, fade-resistant stopping.
• A 75 cc fuel tank with splash guard r longer run times.
• Robust pull-start mechanism for easy engine starting.

Wide Aluminium Chassis and Off-Road Capability

The Special Edition features a wide anodised aluminium chassis with countersunk screws for a smooth underside. The wide stance increases stability during high-speed driving and off-road impacts, reducing the risk of rollover. The chassis offers excellent torsional strength, essential for absorbing the stresses of off-road terrain.

The truck also includes:

• Working front and rear differentials, improving cornering and traction.
• Adjustable aluminium oil-filled shocks, offering customisable suspension response.
• Full-time 4WD drivetrain, ensuring grip on dirt, grass, gravel, and tarmac.

These characteristics combine to deliver powerful acceleration, controlled handling, and reliable performance across all environments.

Electronics, Radio System, and Protection

The Conquistador SE arrives fully built with a pre-installed 2.4GHz radio system, providing interference-free control and reliable signalcking. This modern radio technology allows multiple vehicles to operate in the same area without crystal conflicts.

A sealed radio box protects the receiver and associated electronics from splashes, dust and debris, ensuring dependable operation during off-road use. The pre-painted body shell completes the monster truck's rugged and high-performance look.
