the xcellerator is a beginners beginner vehicle.. you are limited on parts. and it doesnt have a lot of adjustments.. ALTHOUGH i did hear that they are coming out with a new chassis.. and that might help them out..

are you looking to race or bash.. have you considered ALL minis

I know what you mean, like my REVO, and Mini-T and Mini-T Pro.

After doing a bit of reading here and consulting some of the pros I oredered up a Ventetta ST.

I knew I wanted 1/18 scale. Haven't fired it up yet, but my wife called to let me know UPS dropped the box off this afternoon. I'll be terrorizing the dog when I get home in no time!

Great choice I love mine but I messed up my motor and I'm waiting for the LHS to get anew one in stock and my parents to take me there.

the st is a great mini!!

I think you should first decide the scale you are looking for and then decide upon the vehicle. What sort of terrain are you going to be using it on? A 1/18th may be a bad decision depending upon where you want to use it.

Also try and talk to someone at a local hobby shop to get their input.

I am very unsatisfied with a Mini-T lineup. They are poorly made,IMO. Flame me all you want but the design is $#@*ed up.
