What bump box would fit an acme condor :D :banana:

you want a small one suitable for a 1/10 car.

you may have to do some reserch

they are all pretty standard. you just need to look at what side your engine is mounted on. and look at what will do

All starter boxes basically fit all cars, you will have to line the pins up so that the rotor wheel lines up with your fly wheel, and sometimes have to swap the wheel and the motor around.

I would also recomment getting a 12v battery gel back for them! Best thing i ever bought for mine!

thats not totaly true mate. if your car has the engine mounted side ways the rubber drive wheel has to fit the other way so the box has to be designed for it, also some 1/8 scale boxes are to big for the 1/10 buggy to fit and allign up on. :thumbs_up:

This one you can see has the slot cut in the shape of a L. this is to allow cars with ehgines fitted Transversly. (side ways)

Where this one will only work with cars fitted Longitudinally (length ways)

The other guys will not agree with me on this though i think..

Note: On that top one, put tape over the side wheel! or something to cover it! The guy in a shop i went to had one with a hole in the side and the day before he has got his finger caught and it had burnt all of the nerves in his finger, he was a right mess!
