Wow look whats just arrived in time for Christmas! The All New Acme-Tech 1/10th Scale Electric Radio Controlled Rock Crawler
If speed is the key to racing, finesse is the key to rock crawling. RC rock crawling is a test of machine, concentration, driving ability and sheer will. RC rock crawlers carefully negotiate difficult rock formations and surmount obstacles that ordinary vehicles couldn't even begin to climb. At times, it is a slow, deliberate navigation and at times it's an almost violent display of brute force. In the last few years, more and more specialised, purpose-built RC rock crawlers have been built that perform better, and better emulate the full-size RC rock crawlers that are growing extremely fast in popularity as well.
Acme Tech knew they would need to do something special to stand out in the RC crawler market and they have succeeded in their mission by a long way. The Acme Tech Crawler is an aluminium masterpiece that looks like a piece of art. Almost all the model is made from beautifully machined aluminium with hardened steel used where the RC crawler needs it most. The model not only looks amazing but is also a great performer. For crawling a vehicle needs power and manoeuvrability. This crawler features a twin 540 motor setup with a gear ratio of 1:147 for powering up rocks or whatever else you put in front of it! It also features amazing flexibility and a high torque steering servo. When you are ready to upgrade your model you can add rear wheel steering or swap the wheels for the massive oversized ones. The crawler comes fully built with standard fitting 7.2v battery pack and UK charger included.
So don't be dissapointed, get one for Christmas from The Goodies Mart RC Model Store make it a very happy Christmas for the one you love

Nitro Radio Controlled Help (How To Run In Your Nitro Model)
How To Run In Your Nitro ModelThe engine has to be Run-in before full-time use. It is very important that this procedure is carried out. Not doing so will shorten the life and reduce the overall performance of your engine.
There are two different methods people use to run their engines in. The first one is simpler and is also safer in that you are less likely to burn your clutch out or something if you get it wrong. With the second method it is more complicated but if done correctly will give a little more life to your engine.
To run your car in, take your finished model and roll it back and forth to be certain the car's wheels can turn freely. Place the car in a position so that the wheels are off the ground, for example on a heavy box or brick, and follow the starting procedure which can be found on our help page. Use good quality fuel with around 10 - 20% mix. Its best to break-in the engine using the same nitro content as you plan to use for everyday use. The engine should be broken-in on a smooth hard surface. For a boat engines, try to find smooth clam water. Try to avoid breaking-in the engine on very hot, or humid days. Ensure that the idle speed is not to high or else you will burn your clutch out or snap the con rod, and also make sure that the brake is not applied.
Always break-in your engine without the body on the car, you want as much airflow as you can get to keep the engine cool. Do not run the engine too lean or you will over heat it and cause permanent damage to the internal components of the engine.
It is normal for the engine to consume a lot of fuel during break-in. This is because you are running it "richer" than you normally would to keep the engine cool and to flush out the engine as the parts "seat" themselves. Because of the richer than normal setting the performance of the engine will be limited. After break-in, you will then lean it out to gain performance.
It's always a good idea to get an extra glow plug (short, cold plug). It is normal to have to replace it after break-in because of the deposits left on in from the break-in process. Glow plugs are a normal item that needs replacing. Because they have such a huge influence on they way your engine runs it best to always have a few spares on hand.
Method 1:
Once it starts and is idleing slowly place it on the ground and drive it slowly on a flat surface. For the first use do not let the engine run for more then 3 minutes. Carry on running slowly for short periods until you have gone through 2 - 3 tanks of fuel.
Method 2:
With method 2 start the car in the same way but when it starts instead of placing it on the ground keep it off the ground and let the engine idle through 2 - 3 tanks of fuel. Let the engine cool down in between each tank and lean the engine off as needed. Do NOT rev the engine while it is running in and be careful not to lean it off to much or else you will burn your engine which would not be covered by the warranty.
Do not over accelerate at all during this procedure, as it can severly damage the engine. After each idling time, let the car rest for about 10 minutes between each tank. Running in makes sure that the engine is operating correctly before you take it out for a proper run. Never accelerate the engine while all four wheels are off the ground, as this will break the conrod or other important components.
One important thing to remember when breaking in a new engine, it will appear to not run correctly. It will stall, operate very inconsistently, and may even foul glow plugs. Don't get frustrated with it. Just keep working with it and it will become a smooth running engine. These experiences are what can be called "break-in pains". Every new engine has to go through this. When you get the engine started, be sure to keep it running by giving it throttle when it sounds like it's going to stall. Pulling the throttle quickly can also stall the engine. After a couple of tanks your patience will pay off with a very strong, reliable running engine.

- Before using any nitro model it is important that you check the following:
- Before using any nitro model it is important that you check the following:
* Receiver Battery
* Range check (Stand a distance away from the model and make sure it is responding to the radio control correctly. Ideally do this with someone else so you can stand as far away as you want to use the model.
* Radio Battery
* Glow Plug is tight and glow start is fully charged
* Ensure engine flywheel is tight and tighten if needed (IMPORTANT OR THE FLYWHEEL WILL WEAR AWAY)
* Loctite/tighten any loose nuts, screws or bolts. ie: set screws, engine mount screws, wheel nuts, etc
* Clutch-bell and Spur Gear mesh (IMPORTANT OR YOU WILL STRIP YOUR GEARS)
* Pullstart engine screws - How To Start A Nitro Radio Controlled Car
- 1. Fill the fuel Tank and check that the fuel lines are secure and free of kinks to ensure clear fuel flow.
2. Prime the engine with fuel by putting your finger over the exhaust or air intake and then pulling the starter until you see the fuel reach the engine. Once you see the fuel reach the engine pull the starter another couple of times to spread fuel through the engine. If it will not prime make sure all the screws around the engine and manifold are tight and that the lid on the fuel tank is closed. If it still will not prime take the end of the fuel line that connects to the exhaust off and blow down it which should force fuel into the engine.

wow, cool stuff about RC car models. Great collection in your store. Can see that you're also a great lover of cars model. People working on the stuff they love are very lucky. My brother also like aeroplane modelling. It actually can improve his interests on science and technology. He learnt a lot by drawing the blueprint, looking for the material, creating and testing. It's a very educational hobor I should say.

I have given you 5 stars because this is such a wonderful Lens. I was wondering if you are having a problem getting the nitro fuel? It seams to be more expensive now or just completely out of stock. I would be honored if you would have a quick look at my blog RC Powered, it's about everything remote controlled.
