"Maybe one of us is a spy, you know what I mean, the kind of scum who stabbed his own brother in the back!" - Mark Wylde
The Silencerz are a secretive group who have very advanced technology. They prefer to let the other teams fight it out before they come onto the scene. They rely on stealth and deception to win.
Alternate Silencerz logo
Their team colors are silver, white, and purple. The Silencerz have robots as well as human members. The floating robots they have are called X-88 Drones, and can enter the realms without a car. The members of the Silencerz wear full suits and helmets that also possess the same holographic technology to disguise themselves as the drivers of motorcycles or cars with exposed driver seats.
Dr. Tezla, after driving Nitrium into the Neon Pipeline Realm in an attempt to stop the Silencerz, was called into question by the Acceledrome. Dr. Tezla claimed that the Silencerz were "stealing technology" from him, but in the Ultimate Race, Gig reveals that Tezla actually worked for the Silencerz, before stealing their technology (including Gig himself) and abandoning the team.
Descriptions[]
- "Of unknown origin and shadowy intent, the Silencerz are a super-secret group of spies and undercover drivers. The Silencerz' vehicles, specially designed for sabotage and stealth operations, are invisible on radar and employ sonar technology that allows them to navigate in total darkness." - Meet the Drivers v2
- "This mysterious racing team has infiltrated the race from Europe. They are well funded and entirely focused on creating the best cars using the newest and slickest technology. All of their cars utilize VFT, “vertical frame technology”. This means that each car is assembled side-to-side, right down the middle, giving them a special look and a handling structure like no other car on the track. Equipped with secret “tricks” and ultra-high-output engines, this team will prove that they are strong contenders capable of winning in the most challenging racing environments." - Silencerz poster

Trivia[]
From the back of a 2005 Acceleracers poster.
- A 2005 Acceleracers poster states the Silencerz are from Europe.[2]
- The Silencerz have won the most shown realms; Metro, Ice, Neon Pipeline, Cosmic, and possibly Cliffside Realm. This would win them a total of 5 Accelechargers making them the team with the 2nd highest amount of Accelechargers won in the series.
- Durring the series, only 2 Silencerz cars are shown to use the EMP weapon. Those being Technetium and Acceleum.
- It remains unknown weather the other Silencerz vehicles can use the Division, Implosion Bomb, and Polarized Headlight modifications that are used by Iridium, Anthracite, and Nitrium.
- Almost all of the vehicles have been named after some sort of element, element category, or chemical compound, with the exceptions being Accelium, Anthracite, and Covelight.
Silencerz base.
- The Silencerz base might be located underground.
- The Silencerz architecture and suits bears a strong resemblance those of 1982’s TRON.
- During the Neon Pipeline Realm, 2 Technetium's and an additional Iridium are briefly shown with the Silencerz cars during the race. Coincidentally, In the Junk Realm, 2 Accelium's and 2 Covelight's are shown. It is possible that the Silencerz vehicles can morph into each others cars, however this could just be an animation error.
- The fact that Markie mentioned the former spy (Kurt Wylde) foreshadows the Ultimate Race, where Gig reveals himself to be the spy the whole time.
- 2/3 of the Silencerz cars originally released in Acceleracers toyline have been discontinued by Mattel. Most of them were the ones that never made it into any other media.
