I should follow up to be fair to XTM, how is the parts availability near you?? The X-Cellerator is a decent little truck from what I understand. Contact a guy on the board by the name of Lykan. He has one, should ask him for honest opinions he will give them to you for sure. Depends on how big of jumps you really want to take and all that.
 
i would be able to get parts around here. there is a hobby dealrer that cary's XTM parts. i did contact Lykan. he is the one that told me to make this thread. he said that they r good little trucks also.
 
How high are you wanting to jump? Are you expecting to do endo's. and land on the lid often? if so how much?

Where do you bash What kind of dirt(gravel/mud/fine dirt/grass)?

What things do you use for ramps?

Stadium trucks are built for fine dirt, to be extremely fast and agile. They are meant for low profile, high speed jumps.

Most people start with stadium trucks, they realize their limitations then the stadium trucks hits the shelf and the obtain a monster truck.

People who like to take it a step further usually shelf their MT's for buggies. Buggies are extremely fast and can take 90% of avilible terrain. They corner like slot cars. The MT's usually only come off the shelf after a buggie for one reason, Tough rutted terrain that the buggy will high center/get stuck on.

Somone correct me if I screw up.

They won't do good
At a skate park, or any decnt sized jump on pavement.
In tall grass
In gravel (back road gravel) the kind that has big chunks
Gravel will beat the hell out of them.
Off road with big chunks/ruts
Anywhere they can high center (they are low to the ground)

They will accel in
Very short "turf" grass.
Fine loose dirt.
Small fast jumps
Pavement (when fitted with low pro tires)
Packed dirt roads
Anywhere with semi flat straights, and small "bumps&jumps"
 
i am usually jupming from nice dirt and also i go from road and land in grass or dirt. i am good at landing on the wheels. but i dont have the money for a buggy unless someone would trade one for my tmaxx. also i will trade my maxx for a stadium truck if ne one is intersented e maill me at [email protected]

I have a RCCA mag in front of me and it says the x-cellerator is one of the top 6 RTRs. It is suppose to go 46 mph so the rustler is getting some competition (please don't let that start some sort of flame war, just going by statistics) It has the XTM .18 in it which I was considering dropping in my maxx. So it has a nice mill powering a light chassis, good jump combo. I would try it out. If u don't like it, sell it. Just my .02 though.
 
my tmaxx did not sell i thought it was gonna but the person had to take back their offer so if ne will buy or trade i will

I just switched from ST to MT. I couldn't keep my ST together, and they don't steer as well w/o 4wd. ST's love air, and they're fast
