Hi there,

I'm a complete newbie, but you all seem quite friendly, so I hope that continues with me. I recently bought an acme condor off ebay, which I think is pretty much a smartech speedy tiger. It was really an impluse buy with no knowlege, so then while waiting for it to be delivered, I read some things slamming smartech and acme cars, and got rather scared that I had wasted my money. Luckily driving the car around a bit, and reading this forum, my mind has been put at rest a bit. The car I bought was sold as ready broken in, [link=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6015993715]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6015993715[/link], and I got it started with very little difficulty. It seems to run without any problems, and i've gone through 3 tanks while giving it full throttle and really thrashing it, without any stalling etc, but I'm not sure if the exhaust should be giving off such huge clouds of white smoke as it does, especially when accelerating from a standing start. Also the engine seems rather loud. I havent tuned it at all from the settings I received it on, and would appreciate either advice or reassurance that everything is okay from you experts before I do.
Thanks in advance, Jez
