Ok everyone, seems things might start cooling down. Let me propose something that might fix a bit more. First of all, ARMOK PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE
things can be fixed withought you just leaving. About the !!elves!! technology and such, I have no precise opinion wether something should change, what I can propose is a different view on the super-golems. PS: these are golems not robots, so electrical short-circuit isn't possible BUT a MAGIC short-circuit (whatever that could be) might disable them.
As for my proposals:
Lets first say that it turns out !!elven!! metals are not very compatible with golem magic, so it is not possible to create golems completely out of advanced metal like titanium. It's not even possible to make more than, lets say, 25% of a golem out of such a metal.
(oh, and Armok, iron golem miners are extremely simple, just hollow thick iron armors with a pick and an iron head that is full iron with the soul gem in it.)
Then, lets forget about making less than 10 super-golems, and make more like 30 but much more normal and non-invincible golems that would act as the 'army' of both races, since golems are currently a peacefulrace and no military and the !!elves!! don't seem to have a well-planned military either. Thus, it would just be a military, comparable to any other races military. You might think "no, they are golems, they are still much stronger than other races", but please read on.
The army will be composed mainly of a basic soldier copper golem. Copper is weak, but much easier to repair the golem's body. It won't be full copper, it will be hollow but thicker than normal plate-mail or such armor, say 2cm. As it is, it would be possible to dent the golem easily with even normal blunt weapons. You say golems are hard to stop because they dont feel pain and such? Don't forget all golem joints are weaker than the rest of the body, and these golem's joints are even weaker. One good hit of ANY weapon, even a dagger or spear, could dent the joint causing it to jam or even break. These golems would be equipped with titanium weapons, wich would mean the weapons are light and very hard to bend/damage, and that way we use the !!elves!! inventions too.
Thus, the golem armies would have advantages and disadvantages, as with other race's armies. The copper golems would be as tall as an average human, and as fast as an average one, also can't drown and harder to completely destroy, but they would sink much quicker in water (even copper is heavy), and fast and cunning oponents would know how to jam their joints.
I'm sorry Armok if that is not what you wanted at all, but this is much fairer plan, and there WILL be super-units that command the army, but they will not be as powerful as the one you planned before. But the turtle, since everyone likes the idea, will be built as the hub of the army and also the main transport of the army. I have plans for other units, notably the golem version of 'siege' units, and if you change the !!elves!! technology and make them invent the "fire cannon" thingy, it would create the perfect opportunity the ultimate siege engines 
Post comments and suggestions please.
