Nitro RC buggy Condor Pro - will it run?

Helping out a friend to get an ACME condor Pro nitro RC buggy running.
This 1/10 scale radio controlled buggy with nitro engine is from circa 2003 and looks in good condition - however its not been running for almost 20 years! Will it start? and will it drive??

    Hi, thanks for the comment and I agree - this one is still good buggy, with a couple of new servos and updated radio it’ll be great for years to come. The only downside with these vintage nitro RC’s are spare parts!!

    Yes, this one was good fun getting it running! Just a new servo for the steering to add

    Just one thing you should also do is straight out the antenna the top of it is a little bent so it might affect the range.

    But be careful while straightening it.

    Hi, my friend had been using the buggy many years ago. I’ve made the assumption it was broken in correctly at that time. However it’s probably worth me checking as I’ll probably give it a tune next time I run it which may include leaning the engine out

    It’s a great little buggy and it will be a shame when I give it back to my friend who is the owner. I’ll check your video out as soon as I can 👍
