Are they any good? Would you buy 1 ? General thoughts on them would be helpful thanks

I don't have any first-hand experience, but I believe the overall consensus on ACME is they are just another cheap Chinese company. I would pass myself.

Thanks for the advice I will swerve that 1

I would avoid it for sure. Usually if it's a company we have never heard of, it's more than likely there isn't much available parts.

Chinese company. Probably not a good sign they produce quality RC cars if you see them pile them up like this

They actually look piled quite well

Actually, not defending ACME, but several years ago i bought two ACME Troopers from Hobby King along with 2 of every replacement part, which they had everything, surprisingly. They both lasted a long time of just aggressive bashing, dont think I ever used any spare parts. Even the stock servos held.
We hammered them. They were very "sloppy" and just tightly built rigs but we more than got our money out of them.
Finally the motor went on one and esc on the other and we never fixed them but i was happy with them.....not saying this will be the case though.

I have had similar luck with a couple cheap RC's. A 1/12 WLToys buggy that has been bashed pretty hard and never failed. I bought extra parts for it too, and they are still in the bag they came in. Another is a FeiYue desert buggy that has been bashed right along side it, but it was just starting to sound like it had gear issues when we last drove them. Think I paid maybe $190 for the pair of them.
