Skirecs,
Tower hobbies has titanium turnbuckles just have to look for them. I have a x-cellerator too and it's great! I did have some trouble but only because I'm new. I just got done running three tanks through it.
t8jones,
First have a expert break -in your engine and someone who knows what he's doing. Ask him to show you. To shut off the engine don't pinch the fuel line by doing this you're starving the engine of fuel and and it will go full throttle because of it. Instead put your finger over the the stinger. When you advance the throttle that means pulling the trigger to go. If the engine cuts off when you pull the trigger then richen the high speed needle value. The wheels are suppose to move if you pinch the fuel line. The cars will go fast because you have the adjust the throttle settings on your hitec radio. Put both the steering and throttle settings in the middle. On the throttle setting if you pull down the engine will go faster because it's sucking more air in and vice versa. You're engine cuts off because, like stated before, your engine is too lean. Richen it up and make sure you see a white cloud when you accelerate. You have to stick with it and have patience, every newbie will go through problems. If you're having any big problems take it to your LHS and ask someone professional to look at it. Hope this helps.


We should get an official X-Cellerator thread.
