Hi.I suppose i should really post this in the wanted section but more people who might have one for sale might look here.
Basically as the title says im looking for a cheap nitro truck or buggy.
If you have anything post it up here or pm me.
My budget is around €100-€200.Any suggestions for what to look out for would be appreciated as well.
Thanks

Keep in mind that whether you buy elec. or nitro, you will need a load of accessories, such as spare batteries, better batteries, charger, fuel, glow plugs, tools, the list goes on and on and on... Not to mention the hop-up desease...

Not to scare you in anyway, just something to think about before getting into the hobby.

condor 2speed nitro buggy with everything you need including radio, starter kit inc. tools and glow starter, half a litre of fuel
all you'll need to buy are batterys for the control

Are you sure you want to waste €100-€200 on the trash that that amount will actually buy?
The cheapest car is usually the one that is damned near impossible to start or keep running properly. Or else it has a fundamental flaw like impossible to get repair parts....
Anyone who is in the game (seriously) will confirm this.

I can confirm its pretty much trash ;-/ green hobey are the only place that we can get sapres from and this buggy goes under the name of....: smartech, carson, acme and now condor is it? and apperntly it was an old hpi design but they took it gave it worse quality parts and are selling it for too much tho a few of us here have it and i dont want to spoil this guys sale all i can say is: dont get it:o

tallus

it's pretty different to the Carson model flunked, a mate of mine has one. Different model totally.

cynos

SMARTECH is Acne and the model is a condor
There not a bad starter, my bro has one and the only trouble he's has was a pullstart and he got a new one in halfords, he uses it a fair bit too
Starts easy enough
RCMart.com stock all the parts and there cheap too.
Starting grid also keeps parts which suit this model

The Ho Bao Hyper 7 TQ Sport uses most the same parts and costs about triple this.
<OK thats unfair similar parts, you can use alot of the same parts>

Do you have the two speed or single speed one Flunked?
also is your one a Acme - condor make or something that looks similar?
To be honest I dont think you know what your talking about mate!
Id take http://www.rcuniverse.com advice over yours
see pics below

I have a hyper mate I don't think it's fair to make a comparison, the Hyper kicks ass and where some of the parts may be similar I think the comparison ends there.

ok man, i mixed it up wit hanother sale that was the acme:o

tallus

That acme is fast, a mate has one we filmed it's first run a few weeks back and even before the engine was fully tuned she went pretty fast.

OK yeah sorry, post edited, can use a fair few of the common parts to break though, and there easier to get hold of eg. starting grid are stockists for Hyper
But as I said you cant go wrong with RCMart.com

tallus

Did you get sorted yet ?

I have a buddy that bought ONE OF THESE..!! :eek: and spent a lot of time and care building it along with running it in properly..Also sent the engine to be "Tuned" to allow it run more effecient and boost power.
This guy is a "Schumacher Team Driver" so he knows his cars etc.He followed this down the road one day in his buddies Real car and clocked it at 70MPH...!! :eek:
Just as well he is a proffesional driver.

Also.
To make it more convenient he only lives 25 Mins. from Dublin so would be very easy for you to meet up with him and have a look first.
Price is reasonable. In fact it is only slightly more than your original estimate of 200

PM me for his Name/Number..
cheers

its 270 for the car on its own and 320 for the ready to run version.:eek: thats a good bit more than 200 vectra

Err.
Sorry.
I should have specified that the details page i linked to was to show the particular model in question.. it is NOT the one that is for sale.
That one is priced in Sterling.. The one I am talking about is cheaper than the RTR version figure in euro..
If you get my meaning..

BFassassin

ok. were is the one you saw. i was thinking of ggetting into nitro myself over the summer and i will be looking out for a truck for bashing. i have nothing to to with nitro ones so i will need everything
