RE: Is the x-cellerator durable
the x-cellatator is suppose to be very durable. I think the turnbuckles are the only weak part but XTM is coming out with Alluminium ones.[:-]

Lunsford has turnbuckles that fit. I have them but haven't had the need to put them on yet. As far a durability goes, its as durable as any other stadium truck on the market. If you abuse it, it'll break. Keep it clean, use ARO and check the screws once in a while and you shouldn't have any major problems. I have 1/2 gallon thru mine so far and I'm very impressed with it. The engine was a breeze to break in, its fast and I haven't broke anything yet. You shouldn't have any problems with any of the trucks that you mentioned in the other thread either. So I suggest you get the one that you like best and can afford. Read the manual, break in the engine as specified and you'll be fine. Let us know what one you decide on.

This truck would be alot better to learn on, XTM always has top quality engines.. And like he said it was a breeze to break in, and probly holds alot better tune then the rustler. Plus its 50$ cheeper. Go on msn dude.

RE: Is the x-cellerator durable
I second that. It is a truck waiting for a team! Soon as it gets manufacture sponsors... this truck will really take off... or really take off from consumers. It will take longer the consumer way but heck, look at it right now!
